Chapter 24

Callie

Inside was my father, but he appeared immobile. “Father…you’re unable to move?” It was gut wrenching to see him so.

“I have been frozen for all the years since you last saw me.” My father didn’t express the sadness I would have expected. Instead, I sensed pent-up rage.

Rosamon walked up the stairs of the platform to get a closer look, but she didn’t touch the gleaming bars. “You’ve been much help with my magic,” she said then glanced around. “I’m curious…the Fae don’t seem to object to us talking.”

Our father smirked. “Maybe they can’t hear us.”

That was an interesting thought.

“If you must be so thoroughly detained, then why are there no guards around you?” Rosamon said.

He uttered one cheerless huff of a laugh. “There is no need. Imprisoned in this cage, there’s no chance of getting free.”

“But we’ve seen no guards either,” I said. “We’ve been able to roam about.”

“The Fae are confident that you won’t get out, once you get in.”

“But what about Amalia?” Rosamon said. “The princess was hounding me, day after day. Then she went quiet. And we haven’t seen her, since Noah arrived.”

“Let’s just say that the princess has been distracted.” My father didn’t say more about that.

I couldn’t let it go at that. “But wouldn’t the Fae have some way to observe the prisoners? Wouldn’t they hear us talking, realize that we’ve found you?”

After a beat, our father said, “I may be frozen, but I haven’t lost my magic touch.” The statement seemed to harbor a threat, and his tone was sharp. I looked in his eyes, unable to read his mind or ascertain his mood.

Noah, Logan, and I walked up the steps to stand on the platform next to Rosamon. Not one of us dared to touch the gilded cage.

“I’ve found you and brought your daughters to you, as agreed,” Logan said. “Now keep your end of the bargain and tell us how to escape.”

“This prison was created by multiple sorcerers, magnifying the strength of each. The only way to break the spell and escape is through the same kind of power.” My father gave us a moment to consider that.

“I must point out to you, vampire prince, that my daughters have my power coursing through their veins. Both you and Noah have the power bestowed upon you by the witch who created your race.”

It was all quite astounding.

Our father took a breath. “Combined…we possess enough power to break us all free of our prison. I can think of no other way.”

Logan glanced at me and I could see that he was as doubtful as I was. “We should find another way,” he said.

“I assure you that there is no other option. And…I must point out that we should hurry, before things get worse on the outside.”

“What are you referring to, Father?” Rosamon said, leaning a bit closer to Noah.

“Take a look in the mirrors in the alcove.”

I’d been so mesmerized looking at the golden cage that I’d failed to take notice of the mirrors.
