“Anya!” | dropped to my knees beside her, eyes widening as | took in the sight of her ankle. It was already
turning purple and swollen. “What happened?”
“Someone” She hiccupped through her tears. “Someone shovedfrom behind. I didn’t see who it was.”
| glanced around, but there was no one nearby. Whoever had done this was long gone, “Can you stand?”
“I don’t think so.” Fresh tears spilled down Anya’s cheeks. “The event is starting in five minutes. | have to drop
out. My family”
“You're not dropping out.”
Anya blinked at me. “What?”
| stood and shrugged off my jacket. The event rules didn’t say anything about contestants needing to be able to
walk, did they? Just that they needed to participate.
“What are you doing?” Anya asked as | started tying the sleeves of my jacket together.
“Making a sling.” | tested the knot, pulling hard to make sure it would hold. “You're going to ride on my back.
“That's insane. You can’t carrythrough an entire capture the flag game.’

back. “Con. Let's get you up.”
It took smaneuvering and a lot of wincing from Anya, but | managed to get her positioned in the sling with
her injured ankle carefully tucked to the side. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and | stood slowly.
Thankfully, Anya was petite and light. It still wouldn't be easy, but it was better than not trying at all.

The other contestants and onlookers stared as we emerged from behind the tent. A few of them started laughing
and pointing in our direction, murmurs rippling across the crowd, but | ignored them and took my place with
our team.
Across the way, | caught sight of Sophia and her team staring atand whispering behind their hands. Sophia’s
eyes were glimmering with malicious glee.
| ignored her, too.
Finally, after a quick round of announcements and a whole lot of strange looks-including from Alexander-the

“Incoming!” Anya gasped. “Three o'clock!”
| dodged right just as one of Sophia’s teammates cbarreling toward us. The woman stumbled, thrown off by
my sudden change in direction, and | kept running.
Suddenly, | caught a glimpse of the color blue fluttering on a pole up ahead. One of the other team’s flags.
