Broken

Chapter 13

My heart lurches into my throat. "You. You--what?" Jack looks at me, his eyes filled with pity and sorrow. He glances down at my ring finger, and slips something into my hand. I turn it over.
My ring. My sapphire blue ring, from the crystals of Quartzite, outlined in gold, given to me by the most special person in the world, is sitting in my palm. "Thank you," I murmur.
"I can't believe they're doing this to you. I tried to stop him, but..." a tear rolls down his cheek. "It shouldn't end like this. You haven't-" "No." I say sternly, interrupting him. Jack looks at me with surprise.
"I am not dying here, you are not going to suffer under this stupid General anymore." "But how?" He says. His eyes are full of yearning and escape, and although I know it's terrible, I have him right in the palm of my hand. "There are security measures all around this place. It'll be nearly impossible to-"
"Not unless you have a guard with you." He considers this for a moment, and tentatively nods. "But when? How?" I think for a minute, and choose my words carefully. "I haven't exactly worked out all the details yet, but I know that we start tomorrow."
