Chapter XIV

Alex, Neil, and Lucy were talking to each other. Neil was still recovering, bleeding, but he was talking non-stop, serving as a short-term remedy to not focus on the pain. He also had his finger on his hand, hoping that it could still be sewn to his hand. They didn’t notice that Max had come in and he could hear them saying that there was only one reason why they had taken Lucian and how he must have betrayed them. Neil blatantly accused him, while Alec said he wouldn’t do it and Lucy refused to take a side.

"It was me," Max said, voice trailing, almost imperceptible at the end.

Their eyes fell on him, his face infested with doubts. Alec's eyes almost jumped from his face, Lucy unable to look into his eyes and Neil clenched his fist and told Neil to get closer.

"I ... I needed to save you!" Max shouted.

"And you gave up our only chance to get out of here? What do you think will happen after we get out of here? We have nowhere to go! We cannot appear in Relics without the spirit animal!" Neil shouted, waking James who was still in a state of trance because of the pain.

"But... the torture..." Max continued.

"We were going to take it!" Neil said as he reached out to grab Max.

"Excu ... excuse me!" Max asked, backing away two steps, enough to get out of Neil's range.

Max stumbled over his own words. He avoided telling them the truth. He had seen everything, resisted torture and overcame adversity, but everything fell, like a stone thrown from a ravine, when Alec was at stake. A dagger stuck in his heart, pushed down as he knew he was about to watch the desperation of the one who was urging him not to give up. The irony was that he saved Alec but lost him anyway. No one answered.

"They'll free us!" Max said, trying to make them realize he did what he could.

"For someone so smart you have a hard time noticing that you made a mistake," Neil said, serious as never before.

Max walked forward, swung his wand and watched as a few threads of lights joined the fingers back onto Neil’s hand.

"It's no use crying about it now. We have to arrange a plan to save Lucian and get out of this town as soon as possible." Alec said, looking to the door.

Lucy opened her mouth but closed it before speaking as two distinct kinds of footsteps approached. They were already near the door, and there was a bunch of keys banging on the belt buckle every 3 seconds. She was still slightly dizzy, but whatever they had given her was beginning to wear off. Two guards appeared at the entrance. They didn’t talk to them at all. They went to the chairs and opened the chains, whenever one would open a chain, the other would face the group in case the boys decided to make the mistake of trying to subdue them.
