Mari woke to blackness. At first, she thought something was covering her eyes, but as her fingers touched her face, she realized that she was in a place devoid of even the slightest bit of light. She sat up in a panic and cracked her head against something hard. Mari cradled her skull and felt around her. Cold hard rock - there was a ceiling so close that she couldn't even sit upright.

Mari slid her hands out to the side, and before they fully extended, they met the curve of the wall as it slid up to connect with the ceiling.

Mari crawled on her hands and knees for no more than a yard before her hands met something other than hard rock. Solid wood blocked the path in front of her. She ran her hands across it, feeling for something, anything to help her get it open. There were no handles. On one side were hinges, metal screwed into stone. It was a door of some sort, maybe her only way out.

In the center of the small wooden door was the outline of a rectangle. She ran her hands along it, realizing what it was for. It was a way for her captors to push things into the cell without opening the door. There was no way for her to open it from her side.

Mari turned around with some difficulty, scraping her elbows on the wall as she moved through the tight space. She crawled backward, holding one hand out in front of her as she looked for the other end of the cell. It didn't take long for her to find it, a smooth wall that closed off the end of the coffin-shaped enclosure.

Claustrophobia closed around her, and her fingers scrambled over that back wall, looking for something, anything. What if they just decided to leave her down there? She would slowly starve to death, trapped in a space with nothing but her excrement. For the first time since she came to the Fae land did Mari think that maybe she had made a horrible mistake. She ran off with a total stranger, leaving her friends and family behind just so that she could have a storybook romance.

Her hand started to reach up on its own, to grip at the necklace Vladmir gave her, but she forced it down. Vladmir promised her he would protect her, and instead, all he did was ignore her, leaving the job to someone else. Now she was going to die in a hole, and her father and Cathy wouldn't even know what had happened to her. They would never know any of it.

As she dwelled on those dark thoughts, her head began to ache. Her rage and self-pity pushed past the familiar dull pain until it was nothing more than background noise.

She felt ashamed. She had been selfish to run off like that. No matter what Vladmir meant to her, she should have taken a moment to think of her parents. Instead, she didn't.
