“No, no, no… this is not right.” I whisper frantically, gasping as I stare at the three drums dangling over the pit. Inside those containers are my friends. They look terrified. Their eyes are wide, searching the space, but they can’t see me. They don’t even know I’m standing right here, holding their lives in my hands.

I look at the countdown on the screen. It is glowing red, showing 20 seconds left. Panic surges through me, making me feel hot and cold. My hands shake violently, and I can barely keep them at my sides.

“Erika Amara! Isolde!” I scream their names as loud as I can.

Nothing. They don’t react. They just continue to cry and pound against the glass of their drums. They can’t hear me.

I look around the red, hollow room desperately. There has to be a way to save them. There has to be a lever or a button that brings the drums down safely. I scan the floor, the walls, and the ceiling, but there is nothing except the screen and the pit.

I check the time again.

40 seconds.

I shake my head in pure frustration. “I can’t do this!” I scream at the ceiling. “I won’t do it! Let me out of here!”

The countdown doesn’t stop. It doesn’t care about my feelings. The numbers just keep ticking down. Tears of despair stream down my face, hot and fast.

“This is not real,” I sob, my voice cracking. “This is just a trick! It has to be a trick! It can’t be real!”

‘It’s real, Lyra,‘ Wyndra’s voice echoes in my head. She sounds scared too, her usual joking tone gone. ‘I can hear their racing heartbeats. They are as real as

you and me.‘

“Fuck!” I shout, my voice echoing in the empty space. “This is so cruel! Why would they expect me to do this? Why would they make me kill one of my

friends just to pass a test?”

I break down, sinking to my knees. I feel completely helpless. The weight of this impossible choice is crushing the air out of my lungs.

‘Get up!‘ Wyndra growls angrily. Her voice is so loud that it makes me flinch. I feel the strength of her power within me. Now is not the dime to cry? Now is not the time to be heartbroken! You have to make a decision immediately! If you don’t, the timer will hit zero and you will lose all the of them and then fall your

test. Is that what you want?’

“How do you expect me to choose any of them to die, Wynda? Tell me! These girls have been my rock here. When everyone else called me a slave and a freak, they sat with me. They hugged me. Without them, I wouldn’t have survived this academy at all! I would have broken weeks ago! How can I now

choose one of them to die?”

Lyra, listen to me,‘ Wyndra says. She sounds more calm now. You have to stop being emotional and start thinking snart. Use your head. Think about in wh pick Amara to go into the pit, it’s the smartest choice.”

“What? Why?”

“Because I’m sure Amara would I pick you in twee version of her own rest. Wendra explotas Anuare scully likes you it lt and whér risk suuriking you. Fur you pick Erika… there is a high chance that Friker would pick you us her own rest!

Chapter 125-

My heart stings at her words. “Why would you say that? Erika is my best friend!”

‘I’m telling you that I have a feeling about her, Lyra. If you both pick each other, the rules say it’s automatic death. You’ll both fail and you’ll both die. You have to be smart.‘

“Stop thinking like that!” I snap at her. “I don’t believe you. Erika wouldn’t do that to me. And even if I pick Amara, how can I be sure someone else still won’t die? How do I know the person I pick doesn’t actually fall?”

“You have ten seconds left!‘ Wyndra yells desperately, her voice filling my entire head, giving me a headache. ‘Stop thinking! Make a decision now or they all drop!‘

A voice begins to count out loud. It fills the dark space, vibrating through the floor and into my bones.

“Ten.”
