Voices yelling outside my door yanked me from a deep sleep. The door swung open and heavy feet stomped inside.

My eyes were swollen and blurry, focusing on Markus as he entered the room with three guards behind him. As soon as his eyes met mine, he relaxed. “Tell the prince she’s here.”

“What the hell is going on? Why are you here?” I demanded.

“Your friend is missing,” he declared sternly. “Do you know where she is?”

I stopped breathing. Melaina had done it. She kept her promise and freed Brynna. I wanted to scream with joy, but instead kept my face emotionless.

Lifting my wrist, I yelled at Markus. “Do you think I know where the hell she is? Your prince shackled me to the wall with dark magic and has a gazillion guards outside my door.” I tightened my eyes at him and felt something shift inside, like a rubber band expanding so wide, it finally snapped. “I hope she’s gone. I hope she found a way out of this shit hole. No one deserves to be kept against their will. Especially when they’re innocent!”

Markus stood still, as if weighing my words. “I’m sorry I woke you,” he murmured. With a bow of his head, he gestured to the guards, then withdrew out the door, sealing it.

Letting out a sigh, my insides burst.

Brynna was free, and my father was still hiding. Roehl could no longer sway their lives carelessly above my head. I felt that burden lift, and smiled, staring at the ceiling. It was a huge victory. My best friend was safe, hopefully on her way to Trystan. I knew he’d take care of her.

Melaina said it could take a few hours, maybe days, before I could connect with him again. How long had I been asleep? I wasn’t even sure what time it was. Glancing out the window behind me, the sky was still dark.

It didn’t matter though. My best friend was out of Morbeth, and I now had some clarity to figure out my next move.
