***Sorry things are a day late, my dudes, but I had to write a better ending than I was gonna give you guys. This makes so much more sense and ties up a lot of loose ends.
The funny thing is, without the epilogue, this story would have a really sad (yet confusing, given "I Never Knew") ending. Aren't you glad I didn't just stick with fifteen chapters? ;) ***
***(Kai's POV)***
The haunted noises of this place are really bothering me.
I've been sitting in a spare room alone for hours. Last I checked, there were two guards outside, so I can't get out through the door.
And there's no window. Don't they know that's a fire hazard?
A fire hazard...
I look down at my vengestone cuffs. If I only had my powers, I could for sure get out of here.
I need my element back. I can't sit around, waiting to bait Skylor here. I couldn't forgive myself for that.
I glance around the room. What could I use to get these off?
I totally need to start wearing hairpins.
To my left is a closet, and to the right is a nightstand. Either one could have something valuable I could use to get out of here.
I try the closet first, but all I find is an abundance of metal armor.
Weird.
Footsteps sound outside, and I freeze.
"Get Yang," someone orders.
It sounds like Clouse.
More footsteps, and a shout.
"What is the meaning of this?" Yang rumbles. "I didn't ask to be interrupted during – oh." His voice loses the heat, replaced by horror. "My queen."
Who's his queen?
"I found her outside," Clouse explains.
A fist colliding with wood. "What did you do to her?"
"Nothing, my lord, I assure you. I found her in this condition."
Yang releases an expletive. "Take her to her chambers! I'll deal with Chen for this."
The retreating march of feet.
Silence.
I shiver. What does Yang have up his sleeve?
I finish searching through the closet, finding nothing. I guess I can still check the nightstand.
It has three drawers. I filter through each one, trying not to waste time wondering about the contents. But seriously, there's a pile of gold coins, a cloak, some weirdly coded list written in shorthand, and a tablet computer. Do they even get Internet service out here?
Yet I find nothing to pick the lock on my cuffs. I suppose I'll have to find another way to –
There, in the carpet, lies a bobby pin.
Bingo.
Okay, I can do this. Sensei Wu showed the guys and I how to pick locks one time, and this shouldn't be any different. I bend the pin into an "S" shape, then poke it into the upper part of the keyhole. I apply downward pressure.
