I release my grip on the cage and turn, ready to escape the crowd when I feel a tug on my jacket, dragging me back to the cage.
My back slams into the cage and I twist my head around to get a look at the person who grabbed me, only to come face to face with the sadistic announcer.
"You!" He says excitedly. "You'll battle Rex!"
Of course he'd pick me, I think, I have the worst luck in the world!
"What? No, I'll pass, really," I begin to protest, but the man isn't having it. And neither is the crowd.
Hands grab me and push me towards the cage door, despite my struggling and objections.
And once I stand before the cage door, the man grabs a hold of my wrist and throws me into the cage along with the grey wolf.
