I lean my head on the hard stone wall behind me. There's a basin in the corner of the cell, a plate of stale bread close to the metal bars, and a worn out cot to my left. I can hear the hundreds of other prisoners complaining and some trying to get out with no avail. When I arrived here I had no idea so many people crossed bounds in order to gamble with life and death. The dungeons here are unbelievably large, although even with its size there are some cells where people are crammed in tightly. I was lucky to get a cell to myself. I hear the large metal door that leads to the dungeon being opened. Two guards walk through. Most of the prisoners walk to the bars to see who will be judged next. Those that aided me in my journey have already been taken. I stare at the approaching guards. They wear the colors of the gods, navy blue and gold. They wear the crest of the palace on their left shoulder. The guards stop in front of my cell. One of them takes out a ring of keys and unlocks the door. He slides the door open, while the other one walks inside and grabs my arm and places a metal cuff on my wrists. He pulls me out and we begin our steady pace toward my death. Everyone that ends up in the dungeon of the gods usually ends up executed. There are very few that make it out unscathed.

"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what. Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates
