strange feeling of both nervousness, but also a feeling of sheer thrill because of this. I mean, deep down I didn’t know what would happen next. If this would pan out for me in the way I thought it would. I was only staying because of the bribes, but there was a part of me that felt…excited for what would happen next, and hoped that, despite all of this, life would get better.
I was jumping headfirst into the pool of sharks, and I knew this.
Phoenix pushed the computer near me, and I grabbed it, holding it there.
“We’ll see you around,” he said with a husky voice.
My heart lurched slightly at that sound, but as they left, I clutched the computer there, processing what happened. I didn’t know if the Elites were trustworthy, or if I just sold myself to my fate, but the thing that kept me there was the sheer thrill of what would happen next, and what may come about as a result of the choices I made.
