âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
âThis is not the time for secrets, Charlotte. I know you have a way to get through the shields,â admonished Zachary. âThey are sending me to kill you. Then theyâre planning on coming after me. â
She sneered at him. âAnd you think I would believe you? This is a trick to find out if I know anything. Once you have my secrets, Iâm dead.â
âYouâre already dead. They just havenât ordered me to kill you yet.â
âYou canât touch me, Zachary. My magic is stronger than yours.â She turned her back. âGo bother your girl and leave me alone.â
He grabbed her around the waist before she could move away, holding firm against her struggles. âWrong, Charlotte. You may be powerful, but you are not the match of any of us.â He drew a finger across her neck. âYour arrogance has made you overconfident. You let your guard down. If Iâd wanted to kill you, I could have slit your throat just now.â
âLet me go, you bastard.â Her body tensed.
âStop whatever youâre thinking of doing. Thatâs not my finger poking you in the chest. If you release your magic it will be drawn to the blade and turn on you.â He pressed the spelled dagger so the tip dented her skin, being careful not to pierce her flesh.
She gasped, stilling in his hold.
âNow do you understand?â he asked. âWeâve always been stronger than you. Just because you couldnât see it doesnât mean it wasnât true.â
âRelease me, Zachary.â
âNot yet. I want to make sure youâre paying attention.â
Her teeth clenched. âIâm listening.â
âItâs about time.â He moved the dagger away from her chest but continued holding her. âThings have changed, Charlotte. Youâve become so blinded in your quest for power you missed that they donât need you anymore. They have the dragon working for them now. Youâve become expendable.â
âThatâs not true.â
âOnce 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.â
âYouâre lying. Iâve helped in many ways.â
âYouâve always overestimated your worth to us, never once realizing your power makes you too dangerous to leave alive. You stayed too long, Charlotte.â He released her and stepped back. âThis is your one chance to get out. We either help each other or we both die. Your choice.â
She turned to him. âWhy donât you take them out before they can get you?â
âWe are too evenly matched in strength. I cannot stand against both of them.â He scowled. âThey 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.â
âHow come you canât get through the barriers yourself?â
âI can. But Ruth would know the minute I tried. Sheâd be on me before I could break through. I know you have a way thatâs undetectable and fast.â
âThen why do I need you?â
âYou cannot defeat Ruth and Peter.
