Kade's Pov

I could not stand another night of laying around, being tortured by the will of my thoughts. They accompanied me with dark fears that only Aubrette seemed to bear the ability to trigger. I had to get up, I had to find a solution to suit all, now. Instead, I sat, useless,
knowledge-less and most of all, helpless. A dream I have dreamt about since the day my mother was taken away from me, to avenge her by giving her murderer the same fate she had would only come at the cost of the one I love.
I was past denying that I loved Aubrette. To do so at this point would be beyond silly.
My father was giving me a choice between the two women I loved most. It was an impossible decision. The only way to rectify this would be to kill the faerie and seek out justice for my mother on my own. My fathers plans to kill Aubrette would then be abandoned. I cared not for betraying Isabella Ulwin. She meant no more to me then her foolish trow and that appalling bird.
I sat up at the sound of a sudden sound at the glass window furthest from the entrance door. There was a bang and another and another. I peered closer and realized that there were rocks being thrown at the window.
I hurried to my feet, wondering who the intruder was. I unbolted the locks that held the window confined and gazed outside into the fresh air. I could not catch sight of the bearer of the noise, instead, the drifting last bit of sunlight lit the view to the beginning of a strip of trees.

"Who's there?" I demanded. Another rock came flying my way and I ducked to avoid being hit.
I looked down further to where a miniature pixie girl had her wings stuck under a medium sized rock a top a window still just a foot below from me.

"A little help here!" She demanded and lifted another tiny rock and threw it my way. I ducked yet again.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Elie. Aubrette sent me to find you."

I did not hesitate. I leaped forward and reached for the boulder that held her prisoned. The miniature  faerie flew up and into my room immediately. In her grasp was a folded letter.

"Where is she?" I immediately began.

"Here," she reached forward," just read this."

I read the writing and somehow knew that it really was from Aubrette. I felt my chest began to ache.

"You're her spirit?"

"Yes. She asked me to take you to her, if you will."

"Where are they keeping her?"

"At the castle. The woods are guarded with the queens vicious ogres but I know a way in."

I did not need a second to think," let's go."

The pixie girl flew out of the window and I followed, using the sill under me as a stepping stone before leaping off one of the uneven bricks and landing on the grass. I placed my blind trust into the girl and followed her all of the way, through miles of twisting soil pathways through dangerous woods and trees. 

The creature led me to a clearing that homed the back of a charcoal brick tower. It bore no visible windows besides one close to the very top where it eventually ended within the clouds. There were no stairs, nor railings, nor anything that could have aided to the climb.

She raised her small hands and pointed," she's up there."

"How am I supposed to get up there?" I snapped. I did not mean to be so angry with the girl, my built up tension combined with excitement to see Aubrette  was hindering my usually logical thinking. I could not afford another obstacle to get in my way. I had to see her now.
