Alec’s eyes opened as the sound of a tray clattering jerked him from his restless sleep. His soul-blade lay on the ground, the orange flames lighting the cell.

Clenching his teeth, he rose and moved to the tray. The food was disgusting. Moldy bread, a bowl full of God only knew, and a cup of water. But he picked it up and sat down, with his back against the wall and ate every last bite, and drank the disgusting stale water, because he had to. If he didn’t eat, he’d grow weak. And he refused to. Sharen and his brothers were out there somewhere. It didn’t matter that he couldn’t see a way out of his situation, he’d figure one out, and he’d save them all.

Tossing his tray to the door, he felt only a little satisfied at the loud clatter. He wanted to break something. To destroy something. Especially the fucking shapeshifter and its master.

A strange sound came, like scratching. He tensed and looked around. He could see nothing to explain the sound. Where had it come from?

The scratching came again, this time louder and longer. He stood and moved around the cell, trying to find the source. At last, he knelt and stared at a spot on the dirt floor. Was it coming from underground?

Hurrying across his room, he grabbed his metal cup and returned to the spot. Using the tool, he started to dig. Minutes ticked by. The scratching continued, and so he didn’t slow.

At last, the earth caved in.

He heard coughing. Acting on instinct, he reached into the small hole, and grabbed whatever was inside, then hauled it out.

A tiny woman, entirely covered in dirt, coughed and coughed as he set her on the ground next to the hole. He stared in shock, not sure exactly what he was looking at. And not sure at all how she’d come to be beneath the ground.

Reaching for her, he began to dust the dirt from her face, scooping it out of her closed eyes, and brushing it from her hair. At last, as the cloud around her began to calm, her eyes opened. Two bright pools of green stared at him from a face thin, to the point of starvation.

“Alec?” she whispered, and her voice cracked.

He frowned. “How do you know who I am?”

She held out one small hand, and he reached out and shook it without thinking. “I know a lot of things. Too many things.”

“You sound like a damned witch, with that kind of meaningless babble.”

A small laugh escaped her lips. Her big eyes widened. “Did I just laugh?”

He nodded, his frown deepening.

She touched her mouth as if in awe. “I can’t remember the last time I laughed. I forgot what it sounded like. What it felt like.” She closed her eyes, and her mouth twisted into a smile.

Fuck. His demon-heart was made of God damn steel, but he felt an immediate protectiveness flair to life. Someone had hurt this child-like woman. Caine. It just gave him another reason to tear the bastard limb from limb.
