I froze in place and my heart pounded in my chest as my head drowned with what felt like a million thoughts.

Had I heard Finnick correctly?

Did my son mean to tell me that Lila was a sorceress?

I knew he didn’t know the word “sorceress” nor did I explain to him what kind of tricks Raven had played during that visit to our chamber. So, there was little chance that he was making this entire thing up. Besides, Finnick wasn’t a liar.
