-Sparrow-

I woke up and my head was pounding, like someone was stabbing little knifes in my head. My eyesight was really blurry and I couldn't see everything clearly. Then I heard footsteps walk past where ever I was. My eyes started to adjust to my surrounding and I started to see bars in front of me, like I was in a cell, locked up.

"Agh!" I heard another mans voice shout, the voice was real close to me. "This stupid whore spat in my face."

"Then don't touch me." A female voice spat at the male voice. Wait I recognised that voice? Liz?!

"Come on, if the boss sees us doing this she'll rip us piece by piece." Another male said, I guess the other one sighed before walking past my cell.

"Now you little bitch, don't piss any of us off 'cause I'll kill you." The man threatened Liz. I heard her laugh, the man walked away from her and walked past my cell and walked away closing the door behind him and locking the door. I placed my hand underneath me and lifted myself up slowly. When I stood on my feet and started to walk to the cell bars, I quickly grabbed the bars as I felt my legs almost give way.

"Liz?" I shouted out.

"Wait..is that you Sparrow?" Liz said, she sounded like she was close.

"Yeah it's me. Are you okay? Is the baby okay? And Where the hell are we?" I asked her.

"I'm fine and so is the child, they wouldn't touch me and I don't have any idea where we are either Sparrow."

"What happened?" I asked Liz.

"We we're all ambushed by these men in black clothing. But I recognised one, the man that did this to me. And then smoke started to surround all of us and then all I remember is waking up here. And that...that was two days ago." Liz exclaimed. Wait two days?

"How long have I been here for?" I asked her.

"You got here around noon yesterday, you and Matthew both looked like crap when you came here. What happened to you both?" Liz asked me, I sighed remembering what happened to both of us.

"Well we were talking about something and then all of a sudden the door closed and we got locked in. I thought we were getting pranked but then smoke started coming from under the door. Then Matthew went down first and then after it was me, but before I went out I heard the door unlock. That's when I realised someone must of planned this." I said. Then I felt pain in my upper back and then my lower back making me wince in pain.

"You all 'right?" Liz asked with concern in her voice.

"My back is killing me."

"Oh yeah they threw you in there. It didn't sound nice when you landed on the floor either." Liz said. Nice how they treat their prisoners. I moved away from the bars and sat down on the floor before lying back, so my whole body was lying on the floor.

"I might as well just lie down and die." I said sarcastically loud enough making Liz laugh a little. "Are you lying on something?" I said.

"Well I'm not very nice when I'm pregnant. So I ended up getting the best cell." Liz said the last part sarcastically making me laugh.

"I hope Arthur aright." I heard Liz say.

"Wait where is he?" I asked her.

"He wasn't around when we were ambushed, he had to meet someone and left before we were ambushed." Liz told me. "I hope he's aright." Liz then also said.

"I hope Victoria alright." I said to myself.

"Victoria will be fine she's a big girl and plus she has an assassin lover to protect her." Liz joked with me making me laugh.

"I'm scared Sparrow." Liz said.

"I don't blame you, but when Arthur isn't around I'm gonna protect you. Okay?" I told her.

"Okay. But when Victoria gets home you're telling her the truth. Liz told.

"I will. I promise."
