“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“This is not the time for secrets, Charlotte. I know you have a way to get through the shields,” admonished Zachary. “They are sending me to kill you. Then they’re planning on coming after me. “

She sneered at him. “And you think I would believe you? This is a trick to find out if I know anything. Once you have my secrets, I’m dead.”

“You’re already dead. They just haven’t ordered me to kill you yet.”

“You can’t touch me, Zachary. My magic is stronger than yours.” She turned her back. “Go bother your girl and leave me alone.”

He grabbed her around the waist before she could move away, holding firm against her struggles. “Wrong, Charlotte. You may be powerful, but you are not the match of any of us.” He drew a finger across her neck. “Your arrogance has made you overconfident. You let your guard down. If I’d wanted to kill you, I could have slit your throat just now.”

“Let me go, you bastard.” Her body tensed.

“Stop whatever you’re thinking of doing. That’s not my finger poking you in the chest. If you release your magic it will be drawn to the blade and turn on you.” He pressed the spelled dagger so the tip dented her skin, being careful not to pierce her flesh.

She gasped, stilling in his hold.

“Now do you understand?” he asked. “We’ve always been stronger than you. Just because you couldn’t see it doesn’t mean it wasn’t true.”

“Release me, Zachary.”

“Not yet. I want to make sure you’re paying attention.”

Her teeth clenched. “I’m listening.”

“It’s about time.” He moved the dagger away from her chest but continued holding her. “Things have changed, Charlotte. You’ve become so blinded in your quest for power you missed that they don’t need you anymore. They have the dragon working for them now. You’ve become expendable.”

“That’s not true.”

“Once we broke into the Council building, any value you had was gone. You are here only so we can keep an eye on you. And now Ruth wants you taken care of.”

“You’re lying. I’ve helped in many ways.”

“You’ve always overestimated your worth to us, never once realizing your power makes you too dangerous to leave alive. You stayed too long, Charlotte.” He released her and stepped back. “This is your one chance to get out. We either help each other or we both die. Your choice.”

She turned to him. “Why don’t you take them out before they can get you?”

“We are too evenly matched in strength. I cannot stand against both of them.” He scowled. “They also have access to a power source that is boosting their abilities. They grow daily. We need to leave soon before we are unable to escape at all.”

“How come you can’t get through the barriers yourself?”

“I can. But Ruth would know the minute I tried. She’d be on me before I could break through. I know you have a way that’s undetectable and fast.”

“Then why do I need you?”

“You cannot defeat Ruth and Peter.
