What they have us in, to transport all fourteen of us to the capital, could be accurately described as a house on wheels. It has multiple floors, working electricity and plumbing, and the entire color scheme is white.

I know I 'm not alone in the will to survive. I can see it in their eyes, the way they look at me, the way they glance down my body as if surveying me- assessing my strength, my ability- that they will do whatever it takes to make it out of the Labyrinth, even
