When I come to again, I find myself in a holding cell much smaller than the one I was kept in before.

Night has fallen, the crescent moon casting an eerie glow through the small window in the door. My head lolls against the hard floor. For the first time since I was captured, I’m not tied up. Yet I don’t have the strength to move. Every cell in my body is crying with pain.

The hazy yellow light in the cell flickers and my gaze flies to the window, my pulse now out of control. My tormentors are back for their pound of flesh. And I don’t have the strength to fight.

A dark figure fills the window, and if I could scream, I would. My skin prickles and I’m aware of just how beaten, dehydrated, and famished I really am. Every cut on my body makes itself known as my skin slowly knitting itself back together.

But not quickly enough. Not enough for me to rush at the door the moment it opens.

I have no idea how long I’ve been out, but I wish that whoever it was had given me more time to recover. I blink, struggling to focus, and for a moment, I’m not even sure if the shadow is real.

After everything I’ve been through, I don’t think hallucinations are exactly out of the question.

But then the door opens, letting in a cool rush of air. The figure draws closer, all too real. And then I hear it—a voice that sends a shiver down my spine.

But not one of terror.

Relief and disbelief wash through me, and I let out a broken mewl that sounds pathetic even to my own ears. “Jake,” I croak.

My brother is here.

“It’s okay. I’m here, Addy.”

The sound of my name on his tongue feels foreign, as if I’ve forgotten what it feels like to hear it spoken by someone who isn’t an enemy.

A long moment passes, and I wonder whether I truly have hallucinated it. But the shadow morphs, gains substance. I watch transfixed as Jake appears above me, his silhouette barely visible in the dim light. I feel a surge of hope in my chest, but it’s quickly replaced by a wave of fear.

How did he find me? Does he know what I’ve been through? And most importantly, is he here to get me out?

Or is he another part of the sick mind games Luke’s father is playing with me?

I don’t want to believe that Jake is in league with Luke’s father, but after everything I’ve been through, I don’t know what to believe in, or who to trust.

My throat feels parched as I try to speak, but all that comes out is a faint croak. “Jake?” I whisper, my voice barely audible. “Is it really you?”

He nods, and for a moment, I think I might cry with relief. But I force myself to stay calm, to keep my emotions in check. I still don’t know whether he can help me escape.

“Come on,” Jake says as he bends down and scoops me up.
