Chapter Thirteen

I curled up on the bed, sickened and ashamed of what I’d let Borys do to me. Even though it was all part of the plan, I still felt as though I’d betrayed Nad, Miko, and Diarus. They knew exactly what I’d had to do, and though they’d approved it, the thought of Borys touching me would have hurt them. I was still wet and swollen between my thighs, and I tried not to think about what would come next. Borys had made this all about me, but he’d want something in return the next time.

I wanted to shrivel and hide and pretend everything was going to be all right. The temptation to pull the bedcovers over my head was overwhelming, but I needed to be stronger. I’d done what I had to. I was a woman at war. There was no room for sentimentality or emotion in my mission. Lying on the bed feeling sorry for myself wasn’t going to move anything forward.

Tears had dampened my cheeks, but I sniffed and sat up, and wiped them away. I remembered what I’d thought about the vents leading from the bathroom. My legs still felt shaky, but I stood and crossed to the bathroom.

I looked up at the vents. Would the same vent serve each of the rooms? If so, would noise travel through them?

I paused for a moment, considering my options, and then climbed onto the edge of the bath, using the wall for balance, and bringing the top of my head closer to the vent. I reached up and pushed at the panel hiding the vent. It opened a crack. I listened hard. Could I hear anything? A low hum met my ears, and I assumed it was caused by whatever powered the automatic settings in the bathroom, but I couldn’t hear any voices.

Did I dare call out? If Zoe was in the next room along, she might hear me. I had no idea if she was or not, but it was worth a try. But what if Borys was in there with her and heard me as well? If that happened, he’d know that I’d discovered the existence of the vents, and I might lose my backup escape route, should I need it.

How much time had passed since Borys had last been in here? An hour? Less? Would he really still be in with Zoe, if he’d even gone to visit her at all?

I had to take the risk.

“Zoe?” I hissed. “Can you hear me?”

Only that low hum replied.

I tried again. “Zoe? It’s Tara. Answer if you can hear me.”

Still nothing. It had been too much to hope for anyway.

I started to climb down from the side of the bath, making sure I’d dropped the panel back in place so Borys or his men wouldn’t notice that I’d been tampering with it.

A faint voice made me pause. “Tara, is that you?”

My heart swelled with hope, and I hopped back up on the side of the tub and pushed open the panel a crack again.
