Chapter 12

“Open up!” Peter commanded, as they walked towards the jail. Yvette was nervous, her heart in her chest. She had never seen the inside of their jail, but it obviously was not a bright and cheerful place. She also knew that their jail had been built to block magic so that the prisoners were trapped in their weakest form, which was human.

“Prisoner came in armed and dangerous, My Lord,” one of the guards said, and Peter glared at him.

“Do you not think I can handle myself?” he asked.

The guard stuttered. “No, My Lord, of course, yes, My Lord. Of course, you can protect yourself.”

“Excellent,” Peter replied. “Where is Cole?”

“Safe, My Lord,” the guard answered. “And, he will continue to remain so.”

“Excellent,” Peter replied as the gates opened. He moved to go in with Yvette, but she put her hand across his arm.

“Do you think I could see him alone?”

“That's not safe,” Peter said, and she gave him a look.

“I thought your prisons were the strongest in the universe,” she said. “Able to hold anyone and pose no threat. You can stay right here and the guards are right here. What harm can I meet?”

Peter looked at her for a long moment, and then took a deep breath. “Of course,” he said, at last. “But if there is any danger, any trouble whatsoever, please let me know. Scream, cry out, I will hear you.”

“I will,” Yvette said. “And Thomas won't hurt me.”

She didn't really believe that, herself, though. As she approached, she wasn't sure what she was going to find.

He was pacing, growling, as if he were a caged animal. In a lot of ways, he was a caged animal. His eyes were back to brown, the magic blocked from them. His face was torn up, although he didn't seem to be in any pain. Thomas was used to being beaten and mistreated. Her heart always broke at that thought. She had thought he was strong, but it was different. He didn't know love or kindness until he came to the Donizettis. They had taught him the way a person should be treated, and Yvette had shown him a love that didn't involve leading an army to their death.

“Hi,” she said softly, staring right at him. He turned, facing her full on. She could see the extent of the damage to his face and winced.

“Get me out of here,” he said, snarling at her. “How can you stand there and watch them lock me up like this?”

“Thomas,” she said, softly. “Did you know I was in the mall?”

“What kind of question is that? This cage will kill me if I'm in here long enough. Yvette, get me out, unless you want to watch me die.”

“Did you know I was there?” she repeated. Still, he refused to answer.

“You know what happens when they keep someone like me blocked of magic for too long. Didn't you see what happened to Alexander? He looks a shell of his former self, and yet he won't give up that carapace wench.
