I swallowed down the poison he breathed into me. The stinging flavor was oddly delicious, and I panted under him as he continued his assault on my senses.
Panting, I managed to push him back.
“What…what is this?” I watched him through my lashes. My nerves danced under his touch, goosebumps prickling up and coating my skin in a sensitive array.

Funny how these books always end with Jayce’s pov.
“Where are you taking me? What’s going on? I need to find Player 20.” Just as he decided to do what he must, the lift jolted to a stop, opening.
There had only been a few times in his life when Jayce had felt shocked and nearly all of those revolved around Raven.

“Is it Julian? Is the host Julian?”
“No.” Felix made his way to a door on the ship, and I attempted to take in more of my surroundings, but my eyes were growing tired, my vision blurry. “He is The Host and Julian is Julian.”
I couldn’t fathom what he meant, and I didn’t have time to truly question it before he was placing me into another man’s arms.

Anadil threw something to me. The item bounced a few times before landing at my feet.
“Remove your mask and collar, Raven. Let them see who you are. Our images will not be blurred for this. Let them see who it is behind the mask.”
Still not trusting her, but deciding it was best to establish what she was playing at, I bent and scooped up the item. A block-shaped key.

The Host cocked his head. “Yes, we are nearing the end, aren’t we? Five teams and seventeen players have made it to this round. Over a month we have spent together. Over a month you have spent with your team. Fostering friendships, forgiveness…love. Let us see what happens when it is put to the test.”
My eyes found Griffin’s, and he lifted his head offering a smug smile.

Dame. That’s unexpected.
I heard his retreating feet as, simultaneously, my vision returned.
And I was face to face with my Sponsor.
I glared at the masked man. “How could you? How could you do this to me? You made me the Shadow and for what?

Well if his “parents” are the “creators”. 😐 things aren’t looking good for u Jayce.
My sister isn’t my Sponsor.
The knowledge was soul crushing in a way I couldn’t explain, and it distracted me from my current situation. If they were my friend. If they were born outside of the Facility. There were only a few people left that they could be.

Bet game 10
Either Ivan’s or 32’s team is gonna die
Likely 32 her team is disposable
Also I think in the other country besides Violencia women are incubators and have to be injected to give birth. So the children of such women don’t have familial connections they’re raised like robots. Not “natural born” with parents or uncles, aunts, siblings. And children that are “natural” are cherished.

Dude this is so fucked up. A man who raised a boy is probably doing terrible things to a girl his “son’s” age. Omg everything is fucked up.
The Game Warden finally found the ability to speak. “The Host came to kill her.”
The woman next to the man scoffed haughtily. Her blonde hair fell around her mask and she swept some of it back.

Love that the character names matches the role he’s playing.
“Unkie Julie, you promise mama and daddy love me?” Sparrow asked him as she cuddled further into his side.
At least that’s what he heard.

“Unkie Julie, you promise mama and daddy love me?” Sparrow asked him as she cuddled further into his side.
At least that’s what he heard.
Shock. Stabbing, piercing, dumbfounded shock was all I could feel. Whatever I had expected when I rose up on my platform with 195 as my opponent, it wasn’t this.
“It’s nice to meet you, Raven. My name is Oleks.” He withdrew from my space.
Why do I feel like I’ve heard that name before? Yet even still, I don’t recognize this man at all.
He watched me carefully as he murmured, “I know exactly how to make it through this round alive. Together.” His lips quirked. “There is more than one way to get someone off.”
It only took a few seconds for his words to sink in. To understand them. My face heated as I realized what he meant. How it actually did make sense. This is exactly the type of fucked up shit I would expect from the Creators and Sponsors.
This reminded me of the game I was forced into with Levi. Fight or fuck. But now we would be over two hundred feet up on a thin platform.
A series of questions spilled out before I could help myself. “Who was it? Who were you with? Who saved me?”
195’s–correction—Oleks’s attention flickered around as if he were searching for something. “That I can’t disclose, but I promise you will be reunited soon enough. Trust me.”
I wanted to argue, to scream, to demand he tell me. But he had already offered more to me than what I had to him. And if he were telling the truth, I might not be alive at all if it weren’t for Oleks. For this man before me.
I examined him in a new light. My lips still tingling from his, my belly fluttering uncomfortably, my body an even more wobbly mess.
Maybe we can both make it through this after all.
“Okay,” I agreed, shifting closer to him and putting my hands on his knees. “I will trust you…for now.”
Oleks inclined his head, his mahogany hair falling forward over his mask. Barely audible, he whispered, “I don’t deserve it or you, but thank you.”
Sinking back to my side of the platform, I analyzed the man before me.
Questions stabbed at my psyche.
Who exactly is Oleks? How did he end up here?
Shoving them down as far as I could, I pushed a wall up between me and my emotions. It was time to complete this game.
It was time to get each other off.
