The Jackal left me awake. Probably so I could suffer on his words.
But I didn't want to give him what he wanted. I focused all my thoughts on escaping.
It looked like I was in a basement. The only door was the one The Jackal went through, and I had heard him lock it. Plus, he probably had someone guarding it. The only other things in the room were the metal chair I sat in, a few barrels--probably of wine--, and a small wooden table.
There were no windows.
No air holes.
Nothing to escape from.
I struggled against my bonds, no matter how much it hurt. I pulled and tugged until my wrists were raw.
The chair was unbreakable. I tried and tried and tried.
And tried.
Every bone in my body ached.
But I didn't give up.
My legs were also tied but I still tried to walk. I only ended up falling on my face and ending up in an extremely uncomfortable position.
My stomach growled.
I hadn't eaten since the cream ball James gave me that morning. I suddenly wished I hadn't yelled at James. Maybe he would be looking for me now instead of going to find a new friend. A tear rolled down my cheek.
I hadn't cried this much in a few days since my father's disappearance.
In fact, I hadn't cried at all.
I had sucked it all up and continued on. Like nothing was wrong.
But it felt different now.
Maybe it was because I was going to die tonight.
Maybe it was because everyone would know who Crossbow really was.
And maybe...
it was because I had had a friend.
