I woke to the sound of banging which seemed to rattle all around the inside of my skull. On instinct, I reached for my magic to protect me and was endlessly relieved when it came to me from the darkness, though my Phoenix was slower to respond.

I forced my eyes open as I pieced together everything that had happened and panic descended on me fast, realising I was now in mine and Orion’s room.

“Tory,” I gasped, shoving out of the soft bed and finding Darius in the room with me, throwing his flame covered fists at the door over and over again. But the door shimmered with the might of magic that echoed all the way around the room, clearly stopping him from breaking through.

I was dressed in a soft pair of blue pyjamas with frilly bows on the cuffs and collar, making me instantly certain they were Geraldine’s and I had to assume she had changed me out of my armour while I was sleeping.

“What’s going on?” I hurried toward Darius, but as I made it to him, weakness pressed down on me and my knees hit the floor.

No, get up. Fight for her. Find Tory.

Darius suddenly took hold of my arm, pulling me to my feet with worry in his eyes and cradling me in his strong arms carefully. “Are you alright?”

“I don’t know,” I admitted, tugging free of his grip and turning to the door with determination burning through my soul. “But it doesn’t matter. We have to get out of here. We have to get back to Tory.”

He nodded, though his eyes lingered on me with concern written into his strong features as I turned to the door and placed my hands against it, encouraging my earth Element to rise. It came heavily, like it was being dragged out of a sinkhole and I growled determinedly as I forced it to obey my command.

I blasted the door with the force of an earthquake, trying to break it off at its hinges, but the forcefield cast around it wouldn’t give.

“Lance!” I shouted. “Are you out there?”

“I’m here, Blue,” he replied darkly. “Don’t ask me to let you out. Gabriel instructed us to do this.”

“Good, then I know whose head to rip off first when I get free,” I snarled as Darius moved to my side, pressing his own magic into the door again as we worked to break it open together.

“It’s for the best, Darcy,” Gabriel’s voice carried to me next. “Do you really think I’d do anything that put either of you in danger?”

“So she’s not in danger?” I asked, hope spiralling through my chest.

“Well…” His hesitation made me snarl and Darius’s fist collided with the door again, a Dragon roar leaving him.

“Let us out!” I yelled.

“You’ll regret this. All of you,” Darius spat like an animal.

“When have I ever led you astray?” Gabriel asked calmly, and I wanted to punch him for that relaxed tone of his.

I knew he wouldn’t put Tory in direct danger, but she was still alone out there.
