We've got these chains hangin' round our necks
Who: Mindy Macready and Katniss Everdeen
Where: A chamber adjacent to Mindy's room
When: Late thursday
Summary: Mindy and Katniss are locked in the dark, chained together. The note made it clear: the door will only open when there's only one person alive in the room.
Rating: PG-13 for starving young girls
Mindy had been expecting it all week, waiting for it, imagining what torture would be in store for her. The damn test had coiled her up like a spring, tensed every nerve to its goddamn breaking point. She'd had nightmares for days now, where she'd wake up in one of the awful, dank rooms to a new horror.
When the real thing came, it was almost a relief. She opened her eyes to blackness instead of the light she was accustomed to, and instantly she knew it had begun.
There was a weight on her collar. A chain, not too thick but still enough for her to notice, had been attached to her collar, attached to a dark shape in front of her, a silhouette barely seen in the shadow. Giving her eyes a moment to adjust, Mindy thought she saw movement. A person? or some kind of animal she'd have to fight?
She gave the chain a tentative tug, crouching on her feet, ready for a fight if whatever it was wanted to have one.
