Autumn was speechless. Her mind had gone blank.
This was cruel. This did not make any sense. All these innocent being hunted do not deserve it.
She looked around the ring. Some people had left, she noticed. And there wasn't anybody who looked very young, someone who might need more care and protection, that she would be able to help. Now what?
She glimpsed the two girls she had met earlier. That place they had been in seemed like heaven to her compared to the ring, now that she knew what she was here for.
"Hey, guys," she walked up to them. They turned to her.
"Um... we've seen each other before, haven't we? And, I was thinking, since we're all being "hunted"... um... how about stick together, or at least help each other out?"
Autumn hoped she didn't sound like she was pleading.
