“I THOUGHT THIRTEEN would be lucky.” Tage slumped on the cot next to Ezra. She rubbed her cheek where the door handle had smacked her when the guard shoved it back. “I’ve tried everything; picking the lock, magick, but one minute isn’t enough time. I bet it’s bound with a spell.”

“You need to stop now.” Ezra pulled her hand down so he could examine the damage to her face. “This will bruise. You’re lucky the door didn’t clip your nose. It would be broken for sure.”

“I don’t care. I just want out of here.”

“And I want you in one piece when we leave.”

“If we leave.” Tage glanced toward the camera. “Are they just going to leave us here to rot? Natalie hasn’t checked on us. I know it’s a good thing the Hunters haven’t come by—but what the heck? Other than the two goons who guard us when we have to go to the can, it seems like they’ve abandoned us.”

“I don’t know. Maybe they're saving us in case they can’t find any other sirens to kill. Maybe we’re their pantry.”

“Not funny.”

“I was serious.” His gaze fell to the floor. “I was wrong to provoke them. I put you in danger.”

Tage snorted. “There’s nothing you could have done. Besides, I thought you standing up to Aurelia was kind of hot.”

“You did?” He tilted his head to the side and raked his hand through his hair.

“You’ll never be her Botox.” Tage’s lips lifted with a grin. “Just promise me you won’t go saying anything like that again.”

“If you thought it was hot…” His eyebrows lifted.

“Not if you end up a corpse.” At this thought, her mind drifted. “Do you think they’re alive—Corinne and Daspar?”

He let out a heavy breath, leaning with his back against the wall. “I dunno. No one is saying anything around here.”

“I can’t take this silent treatment anymore.” She stood. The camera followed her movement. “I hate them watching us. I hate that we can only leave for two minutes. And the food is disgusting!” She aimed her frustration toward the camera. “Do you hear me? The food tastes like crap!” She stuck her finger down her throat and imitated an exaggerated gag as the camera followed her back to the cot.

“Hunters don’t eat. What did you expect?” Ezra grabbed her hand, so she sat.

“Natalie eats! Those goons eat!” Her voice rose so shrill now, she didn’t even recognize it as her own. She wasn’t one to panic. She was the one with solutions—the one who could get out of anything. She buried her head in her hands. “I’m sorry. I’m going stir-crazy. I thought I could do it. I really thought I could get us out of here.”

“What if one of us gets out?” He had that look—that I’m going to do something so stupid because I have feelings for you look—sacrificial.

“No way!” She shook her head. “We’re in this together.”

“Listen to me.” His eyes were ablaze with this new idea. “If one of us can get out and contact the Tari, then we might have a chance.
