“I suggested we kill her,” Theo said loudly, “but you wanted her to be spared so she could join the Wild Cats.”

Theo sneered. “Last time, we didn’t finish the final stage of becoming a Wild Cat. She still has to win a fight to the death.”
People in the room started cheering, excited by the idea.
I swallowed hard. Come on, Lucas… say something. Save me.
