  Summary

  Lamina had wanted to be free from the Arena, so when Pup told her he found a way to keep her safe she leapt at it. She should have questioned him more, should have asked what this 'freedom' entailed. Maybe then she wouldn't be stuck in this situation.

  Pup's laughter rings in her ears, and she can't help but flinch at how hollow it sounds. There is no joy in it unlike... Lamina takes a breath in an effort to steady her heartbeat, it wouldn’t do well to think of her boy now, he’s dead and gone and buried somewhere in the forests of Seven, really she supposed it was her own fault. She hadn't asked the right questions and now...

  Now she was bought and sold like cattle, her mentor had saved her like he promised but at the cost of everything she was and could have been.
