Un-Light

"I am not alone," Chadstone said. He wasn't looking at her, and though his expression was carefully blank, his hands were shaking again, fine tremors. As if every word pained him.

But he wasn't human. She didn't understand, but he wasn't human. Could he even feel pain?

"There are others like you?"

"You've seen them."

"I've never seen anyone who looks like you."

"They don't look like me anymore - the hunger, the games change them. But we have the same un-light in our eyes."

Horror washed over Dakshana. The eyes. Horror became fury.

"You did this to me!"
