I felt arms shake my shoulders. I snapped my eyes opened and gasped as I shot upright. I looked around me, almost choking on shock when I saw Mira crouched in front of me.

What the hell? How was she standing in front of me?

I sucked in a deep breath as I struggled to sit up properly. My back was aching from the boot that continuously bashed me the morning before. I was aching all over.

I supposed that back talking the guards wasn't smart. But how was I supposed to know that he'd almost kicked me to death? The bruises that covered my body weren't pretty. I was uncomfortable in every position.

"Get up, child. Quick. We don't have much time," Mira told me. She grabbed my arms and stood, pulling me to my feet. I held back a yelp of pain, and leant against Mira for support.

She seemed strong, somehow. I didn't understand how she had escaped. I didn't understand anything. My head was still a mess from all the silver.

I was badly hurt. It was my own fault. If I hadn't tormented the guard the morning before, he wouldn't have kicked my ass like he did. I was an idiot.

"What's happening?" I grunted. Mira turned and helped me towards the gate that was now open. She pulled me through it, where I saw Bodie standing at the end of the hallway. He was hunched over, just as weak as I was.

He was probably worse off.

"I've been feeding off your energy to bring my own back to normal health just so I could have enough strength to break us the hell out of here. Sorry about that by the way... You two need to go. Run far away and stay the hell away from Takiani for a while," Mira demanded as she handed me over to Bodie, who was much better at holding me than she was.

He put my arm around his shoulders and held me up easily. My knees buckled and I struggled to stay upright. I way aching so badly.

"Where will we go?" Bodie asked, his voice only weak. He wasn't doing well. He was facing bad malnutrition and was running dangerously skinny. I feared he was seriously sick. I was scared he wouldn't make it.

"My old pack. My brothers will take care of us and we'll figure things out from there," I croaked out. My ribs ached, probably fractured and bruised.

How the hell was this happening? How was she being the one to help us escape?

"Thank you, for being the reason I could finally get enough courage to break free from here. Thank you for being the one that gave me hope," Mira whispered to me, her eyes glossed over with tears the threatened to spill. I stared up at her.

My mind raced with thoughts. I didn't know what was going to happen and I was worried that it would be bad. I needed to get to my brothers. They would take care of me. They'd take care of Bodie too and even Mira.

"Go. Go to them and stay safe," Mira told us both. Bodie nodded his head and tried to move me away. I grabbed onto Mira.

"Where are you going to go?" I asked her weakly. She smiled warmly at me and bent down. She kissed my forehead.

"You'll see me again, my dear. I promise. Now go. Get out of here before they catch you," Mira told me. Somehow, I felt that her promise was genuine. I trusted her. I had to.

I let Bodie pull me away. The two of us hobbled out the dungeons that we had been kept in. We found ourselves out in the middle of the woods.

There was nothing but darkness. It was late. It was our only chance to sneak away whilst the guards weren't on duty.
