Chapter 6
Levet had lost track of their journey through the caverns. Theyâd been forced to retrace their path over a dozen times to avoid the guards who patrolled through the narrow tunnels and dark caves. It made him feel as if they were wandering in circles.
Becoming increasingly wary that he was about to waltz into a trap, Levet halted as Sparkles led him through a narrow crack in the thick stone.
âWait,â he commanded.
Sparkles glanced impatiently over her shoulder. âWhatâs wrong?â
âI smellâ¦â He sniffed again, his wings quivering with sudden horror. âSlave pens.â
The fairy smiled. âWe have to go through them to reach the maze.â
Levet narrowed his gaze. He didnât trust that smile. âNow I smell bullshirts.â
âBullshirts?â
âTell me where you are leading me.â
The female paused as if concocting a plausible lie. Levet folded his arms over his chest, and she sighed.
âIâm leading you to the slave pens.â
âI knew it. This is a trap.â
Sparkle turned to face him, her face pale and tense. âNo, I promise.â
âThen why are we down here?â
âMy people are locked in cells in the slave pens.â
Levetâs anger faltered, his heart sinking. Heâd spent enough time in various pens to sympathize with any creature stuck inside one.
âHow many?â
âTen.â
Levet frowned, sure heâd misheard. âTen frost fairies?â
âWe started with thirty.â
âThirty.â Ohâ¦goddess. Levetâs tender heart squeezed with profound grief. He didnât know the fairies, but he was certain that they were rare and precious and irreplaceable.
âSometimes, the hellhounds win,â Sparkle said in dull tones.
âMon Dieu.â
The fairy reached out her hand in a pleading motion. âPlease, please, please. I need your help.â
âWhat do you want from me?â
Sparkle pressed her hands together, her eyes filling with tears. âI managed to escape by hiding in the maze. The crowd assumed I had been eaten and eventually returned to the fights in the main cavern. Iâve been back down here time and time again, but I donât have the strength to open the door to the cell.â
Levetâs wings drooped. He was a sucker for tears. âEven if I can release your people from their cells, what good will it do?â He tried to be sensible. There was no point in all of them wandering in circles. âWe are still stuck in these caverns. Eventually, we will be discovered.â
Sparkle shook her head. âI was telling you the truth when I said there is a tunnel at the end of the maze.â
âWhy should I believe you?â Levet asked, pretending his heart hadnât already melted into a gloopy mess at the plight of the trapped frost fairies. âYou have already proven yourself to be a liar liar pants on fire.â
âI didnât lie,â the tiny female protested. âI just left out the bit about making a side journey to collect my people before we escape.â
Levet sniffed. âA rose that is named a cauliflower is still a rose.â
Sparkle blinked. Then blinked again. âWhat?â
âYou lied.â
Without warning, the fairy dropped to her knees. âI beg you. Name any price, and I will pay it if you help my people,â she pleaded in husky tones.
