Penelope hissed through the dark, but I held her back. Hesitantly I stepped forward,"Whose there?"

"Cecily, is that you?!?" The cry was desperate.

"Yes." I took another step, and the metal pulled on the wall. The creature was defiantly human and trying to break free of the bonds.

I glanced at Penelope who shook her head,"It could be a demon." Her voice was a whisper.

"Cecily? Whose that? Whose with you?"

"I think the more important question would be, who are you?"

There was a whimper and a sob,"Cecily....oh Cecily," There was a sob,"It.....It's me....Andrea."

"Andrea?" I stepped back,"No, Andrea is dead....you can't be her, Sebastian told me a demon killed her."

"Cecily....Sebastian, he...he..."The chains pulled again and the small figure stepped closer and into the little light of a torch. Her hair hung in dirty waves of brown. When the figure lifted their head milky white eyes stained with blue and red laced through the milky substance that ran down it's once fair skin that was now bruised and scratched. Those were suppose to be big blueberry eyes. Ones I use to search for in crowd like no one else would.

I sprung forward as her name tore from my aching throat, "Andrea!" My arms wrapped around her as I sank to my knees to be at her head level. She was so small, and yet so strong.

Her small arms came around me, not tight enough to be considered a hug. "Cecily..." she sobbed into my shoulder. "He....he...he made me not see.....I wouldn't join....him..."

Her chest heaved and gasped for breathe. To calm her I pulled away and took her face in my hands, "Shhh, it's going to be okay. I'm going to get you out of here and...."

"But....Cecily....this...this is all...all just a trap...."

My eyebrows furrowed, "Andrea, you've been through a lot, just calm down."

"No!" Her voice was a harsh scream, "Cecily.....listen to me!" Irritation was growing in her voice, something I had never heard before from Andrea. She pushed away from me. "He...Sebastian...he told me....this is a trap! You're never....leaving this place. He....he needs to know what you are....I thought....I told him....you were a....a... Shadowhunter.....but he said you weren't....Cecily....I'm sorry....I'm sorry for....for telling him...."

I shook my head,"Andrea..."

"Please just....just find a....away out and....leave me....I am a terrible.....terrible person....and...."

"Andrea! Don't talk like that! You didn't tell him anything to hurt me, okay? We are all getting out of here, you....Penelope....Zane....."

"Zane? There's another person here?!?" She flinched back into the darkness.

"No. There's a cell next to this one with the boy from the institute. Sebastian must of taken him as soon as I left...."

"Ma'am..." Penelope spoke up. "Umm...Cecily....there hasn't been any new prisoners since this little girl. That boy must of been here before hand or maybe its not this Zane."

"No." I said firmly imagining those eyes staring at me,"That was Zane, Carter must've taken him as soon as I left the Institute yesterday."

"Yesterday?" Penelope looked shocked,"Cecily, you've been here for three days."

"Three days?!? How the hell is that possible? I went on that stupid plane yesterday!" I exclaimed making Andrea whimper in fear.

Penelope coward, "Yes, you awoke only a few times, but every time master Carter, would hold that clothe up to your nose and you'd pass out again, then he would...."
