“Rise and shine,” Kato said as he set a new tray of food on the ground in front of me. “Time to eat.”

“I’m not eating,” I mumbled as I sat up groggily. I looked up at the window and stared at the darkness outside. “Is it the same night or the second?”

“The third actually,” Kato said, “Favian wanted to ensure you got plenty of rest. Now, eat up.” He pushed the tray of food towards me and I flung it to the side with my hand, sending it end over end and spreading the food throughout the cell.

“I’m not eating. And you tell Favian to stay away from me or he won’t like our next encounter,” I said cruelly.

“Do not be so hard on your friend. He only cares for your safety as do the rest of us.”

“None of you care for me. If you cared you would let me out of these chains and free me.”

“What if it was Favian in your place? What if someone was trying to kill him and he wanted to go confront them? What would you do?”

“I would go with him and watch his back,” I said immediately without any thought, “I would not put him in a dark, dungeon cell.”

Kato shook his head sadly. “You better eat what food you can salvage or you and Favian will have that confrontation. And I know you don’t really want to fight him.”

I watched him leave and then listened for the door at the end to close. I had to get out. I had to get out now before Favian drugged me again.

I crawled back down the wall and found the stone again, this time quicker since I remembered approximately how far down I had gone. It would have been much easier if I could have woken up during the day and had sunlight, but life was rarely easy. I tugged on the stone, back and forth, back and forth until it finally came completely out of the wall. I reached inside slowly, running my fingertips along the floor until they hit a small piece of cold metal. I pulled it out and quickly unlocked my chains with the key. I stood up and stretched, letting my small freedom relax me.

Now came the difficult part. There was a small window fourteen feet above the ground, but it was nearly impossible to reach unless you had someone else’s shoulders to stand on and even then you had to jump up from their shoulders to the ledge of the window and pull yourself up. Then you had to break the window and pull yourself out without getting cut on the glass. Fortunately I had broken the glass on accident when I was a toddler when I had thrown a ball this direction while Favian and I were playing outside. Later I had come down here and cleared out all of the glass and had used this as a quick escape when Favian and I were playing tag.
