Chapter 5

Pandora's POV

I sat on a chair next to the cot Ruy was sleeping on. He was knocked out and I tried my best to speed the process up. Lady Gisela congratulated me on grabbing her son and Biana for a bonus. It did feel good, but now I was worried about Ruy. I had been here for a day and he should wake up any second now. Right on time Ruy groaned and opened his eyes.

"There you are," I whispered to him, "You've been out for a day and twelve hours."

"WHAT?!" Ruy shouted, standing up.

I had given him painkillers, so he didn't wince as he threw off his covers.

"Yeah and you should probably talk to Gisela to see what you missed. I'm going to guard the prisoner,"

"Biana, right?"

"That's the one,"

"Where's my pathfinder?"

I pointed to the fragments of the purple gem and stick laid onto a nearby table. I had grabbed it before we left.

"Thanks,"

"Your welcome,"

I stuck one finger up in front of me and moved it across my face. The usual murky, black substance filled my face and Ruy shuddered.

"It's so weird the way you do that," he muttered.

I mentally sighed and walked out of the room. I knew my way around this base, so I easily reached the prison in five minutes. I had a special card that allowed me to access the DNA panels without using blood. I took it out and waved it across the DNA panel. It made a soft click and the door opened.

"Finally I thought you kissed Ruy," Trix whispered-joked.

I just ignored him and stepped into the room. The room was made entirely out of metal and a glass tube held Biana who had red chains on her neck, wrists, torso, and legs. She looked at me with pure disgust as I made an ice chair near her tube and sat on it.

"Let me go!" Biana shouted.

I stayed silent and watched her. I could see the fear radiating off her when she saw my face. This was a start. I needed her to feel fear and fear me. I held out my arm and a Black Swan pendant came out of a hidden pocket in Biana's pocket. I looked at it before tucking it in my pocket.

"What do you want and why did you steal my pendant?" Biana asked.

I wanted to say a lot of things, but instead I remembered my training and stayed silent. This went on for four long hours. Biana would ask me a question and I wouldn't answer and she got more mad at me. When my shift was over I walked into the eating area to find the Neverseen feasting on elvin dishes.

"Want some? I just stole the motherload," Trix told me.

I shook my head. I was going to train in the battle arena. I walked through the room and stepped into the arena a few minutes later. As I predicted Ruy was there fighting one of my ice elves that I made. I flicked my wrist and the ice elf sunk into the ground. Ruy turned to face me.

"Want to spar?" he asked me.

I nodded and grabbed a sword from the sword rack and faced him. This was going to be a tiresome day.
