Chapter 99 Doomed

• The morning of the second elimination ceremony, I awoke with a big pit growing in my stomach.
• I still hadn’t been able to speak to Julian about his potentially saving me today. I had talked more with Joyce, but he remained apathetic about the whole thing. Nicholas was avoiding me. Granted, I was also avoiding him.
• Elva, at least, was feeling much like herself again. Even now, she bounced out of bed, ready to face the day, while I moved much slower.
