A deafening quiet settles over the ravaged arena. The two victors stand, then falter, soaked in the grime and blood of the fight. Cora crumples, hitting the concrete with a gasp that is half-sob.

Through the ringing in her ears, the deliberate, heavy tread of approaching snipers vibrates in the floor. The prize gleams just ahead, but all she sees is a blur of pain and fear.
