Chapter 22
Dream
"Have you found her yet?!" a man sitting on chair asks.
"No, my lord," the soldier says bowing his head in regret,
"Well what are you doing here then?" the man asks with anger in his hands.
"Um- well," the soldier stutters.
"Well are you going to answer or are you just going to stand there like a fool!" he says rudely.
"Ah well you see. There are a lot of guards around her and we, the soldiers don't know how to get past all of them without being seen."
"So make a plan. I give you one job and you can't do it yourself. You should pity yourself!" the man says standing up abruptly making the chair fall over from the sudden action.
"Well we do have a plan, my lord."
"Okay," the man says staring at the soldier, "Tell me!" he adds when the soldier stays still.
"We were wondering if we could kill them all by making a trap."
"Okay then kill them. Kill them all if you have to. Anything to get the girl in my hands."
"Yes, my lord. We will leave tomorrow," the soldier says bowing his head and leaves the small room.

Drip, drop, drip, drop, drip, dro-
"Ugh what is that annoying sound?" I said opening my eyes to a black ceiling. My vision was blurry at first but after a few seconds, it started to clear up.
"Where am I?" I asked myself turning my head side to side trying to see my surroundings.
I gripped both sides of the creaking bed and get up. I felt a slight pounding in my head butI ignored it.
"I was going to ask you the same question. What are you doing here?" a voice asked me rudely.
I turned my head towards the voice. I see an old lady gripping the large iron bars keeping us separate. I walked over to the bars until I am standing right by them. I kept my fingers behind my back. I used my right hand to weave it through my hair like a comb. I felt the greasiness of it.
I peered at the old lady through the bars and see that she is wearing clothes that look too small for her and the colour is faded. Her face had wrinkles all over and her hands have small scars all over.
"So are you going answer me, human!" the lady spat.
"I-I don't know. I was having surgery and the next thing I know I wake up to an annoying sound and then you asked me why I was here and well. That's all I remember."
"What do you mean that's all you remember? There must have been something you remember. Did you do something to anger the royals?" the old lady asked in a kinder tone.
"I don't remember doing anything that would make the royals angry. I mean I never met them. I did but only one of them though he seemed very nice," I said stumbling on my words.
"Which one did you meet?"
"I don't remember what his name is but he said that he was my brother," I said thinking hard about the days I spend with him even though I was not paying much attention.
"Your brother?" the lady asked. I watched her face turn from confusion to realization. She took a few steps back as if I was going to hurt her.
"What is it? Please tell me! I don't know where I am and," I tried to say but I can't because of the fresh tears flowing down my face. I took a few steps back and close my eyes.
I thought back to before I was kidnapped by Ace. To when my life was normal. To when I thought Emma was an ordinary human being like me. Too when I was a normal human being.
I thought back to the strong, courageous that never let anyone or anything get in the way. The one that would solve any problem no matter how difficult it was. The one that swore to never give up on life, no matter how hard it got.
I used to be that one. I still am and will be, for the rest of my life. During everything that has been going on, I forgot what happened to me. I should have been more careful, but that will not stop me. Being locked up in a cell will not stop me from being who I am.
I will get free no matter how much trouble or time it takes. I will never give up.
The rattling of keys interrupted my train of thoughts. I looked towards the lady to see fear in her eyes. She looked at me for a second before going to the left corner of the cage. I felt sudden fear spreading through my body.
"What did she do?" Ace asked. I felt the fear slowly going away at the thought of being in his arms.
"She's part of a witches plan to take down this kingdom, sir," a man's voice said, "So sir do have any plans on what to do with her?"
"I want to see her first. Take me to her," Ace said impatiently.
"Yes, sir. Right this way," the man muttered. I heard their footsteps come closer to my cell.
"Here she is, sir," the man said. I looked up to see the man's head bowed down. I looked to his fight to see Ace. I felt a smile come over my face.
"Ace you came finally," I said running to the front of the cage.
"What did you just call me?" Ace said, coming closer to the cell.
"I called you Ace why?" I asked confused.
"Never I mean never call me that again. Got it?" Ace growled out.
I nodded my head rapidly. My eyes went wide.
"Who are you?" he asked.
