I WAS GOING TO DIE . I just didn’t know if it would be from the cold or lack
of food. They were both vying for first place. The guards stationed outside
my cell didn’t seem to notice or care. At first, I pleaded with them, begged
for water, food, a blanket, a toilet, anything, but I’d since given up. I could
barely lift my head now, nonetheless speak. And it didn’t matter how much
I screamed, they never acknowledged me.
I didn’t know how long it had been since I had woken up in the dungeon
cell. I remembered Peter’s words when I first arrived at the castle. He told
me during his tour that the dungeon was located below ground, which
meant no windows. Only a lone torch broke the darkness from the room.
There was no way of telling if it was night or day. No way of telling if I had
been here for hours or weeks. The last thing I remembered was being taken
away by Sie’s father and a sting radiating up my thigh before everything
went black. He had injected me with something. I expected Sie to put up a
fight, to try and stop it, but he didn’t.
When I awoke, I was hurled onto a damp floor. Chains were clamped
tightly around my wrists, covering my zeroes from view. I knew the rusty
metal contained Alluse as I tried over and over again to move water into my
cell. A small puddle was located by the door of the dungeons just out of
reach from me. I watched every single guard walk through it as they
switched rotations. Their muddy boots splashing and spraying droplets, but
it never reached me. I tried relentlessly to draw upon my abilities, to will
the water to move and glide toward me. My throat was scratchy and raw,
and I honestly didn’t care if the murky mess was just mud brimmed with
filth. I needed water.
But I was left with an emptiness whenever I tried to use my ability, a
void that was hard to explain. Even though I had only just discovered it, it
felt like a piece of me was missing—my power was gone. Completely and
utterly blocked. I hated Alluse.
All I could do was wait. Wait and think and think and wait. Every time
the dungeon door groaned open, I perked up in my cell. A newfound wave
of energy bolted through me like electricity as I scanned the guards who
passed, searching for black or green eyes. But they never came.
I fantasized about Sie or Peter barging in and freeing me. Sometimes it
would just be one of them. Sometimes they’d both come. They would
explain to the dungeon guards that this was a misunderstanding—a terrible
mistake. Then, they would whisk me far away from this wretched place,
