A/N: So I finished writing this chapter, I have to say that in copying it out of the bit I wrote, I changed it. I'm much happier with the way it turned out though.

Alex and I walked back to my room in silence. Raven eventually hopped from Alex's shoulder to mine some time during the walk. When we got to my room I saw that a cot had been added to the corner of the room, farthest from the door while being as far away from the window as possible.
As me and Alex walked into the room Raven flew off my shoulder and transformed. Creating a barrier between me and Alex. Alex seemed to be in awe, like he was told Raven could change from man to bird, but didn't believe it. I remembered his eyes during the execution, awaiting, not fearful. It was the same here.
"How?" I asked making both of them turn to me. All attention was on me at this point.
"How what?" Alex asked. He acted like Raven wasn't in front of him holding an ax, it was less than a foot away from his neck.
"You know things, you act like you know how things will turn out. Back when you were about to get executed, it was like you knew that I would save you when my mother wanted to execute you. How?"
Alex sighed, "You're smarter than you look Rose," Raven growled, "no one's ever thought that far into me before. I've come here to bring back the two Rooks that never came back from their mission to steal the heart of the Queen of Hearts. Though now it seems that I only have one more to find.
"Many have cried, because the one you look for has died." Raven spat at Alex. Alex only gave him a confused look, refusing to believe him.
"But he couldn't have died! You two of aardvark known as the unstoppable duo back in Chess! You have to be lying!" Alex finished his sentence in tears. Did he really care that much about the two Rooks?
"How could you be so heartless!" I yelled at him, I wasn't sure what I was thinking, " Raven obviously cared a lot about whoever your talking about! Having someone say that they have to be alive for no reason when you know it's not true hurts! Think about how it would feel, how do you think that I felt when my father the king died!? The people of Hearts kept saying that he had to be alive, but I saw his dead body! Every time they said that the memory of his lifeless body just comes back, making me feel like I'm hopeless! That I can't do anything! Just like Mother always said." I wished I could take my words back. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about what Mother did to discipline me. If she found out I would probably have to have a private meeting with her. I would come out a different person if that happened. Mother guaranteed it. I rushed into the washroom crying, I closed and locked the door. 'What good will it do?' I ask myself, 'Mother has the key, one she finds out nothing can save you, unless she can't find you.' The voice had a point, if I could get out of the castle and find Adriel, I could convince her to hide me from Mother while I helped her revolution. It couldn't work, I would need help to get out of the castle and if someone does help me, if they come back they would be at the meet you or Mother, and everyone knows she has none.
