Tess shoots a questioning look at me.I hesitate for a split second,then hold up one finger again. Something about this girl.I don't know what it is.But her eyes burn in the light,and although it's hot and might be my imagination, I think I see a small smile on the girl's face. I lean a little bit out from behind the chimney. The crowd lets out another cheer,and Kaede smiles. Tess hears it,though, and casts me a quick, concerned glance. Kaede laughs at her and says something I can't quite make out. This girl doesn't seem to fear the crowds wrath. Everyone knows the rules: if you're chosen,you fight. This surprises me too-I've never seen anyone refuse to fight. I find myself pausing to admire her face.įor a brief moment,I'm lost to my surroundings. ![]() She stands deliberately, with a hand resting on her hip, as if nothing in the world can catch her off guard. ![]() Calculating.She has dark hair tied back in a high ponytail and a lean, athletic build. She's hesitating not because she's afraid to fight,or because she fears losing,but because she's thinking. ![]() No, this girl is nothing like the last one. For a second it seems like the crowd's attention has made her umcomfortable and I'm ready to dismiss her as a real contender until I study her again. “She's not much taller than Tess and definitely lighter than Kaede. ![]()
