Prologue

Her gaze shot nervously around the room as she entered it, key card in hand, knife shoved in the waistband of her jeans. She took a step forward, heel clicking on the floor, and her body tensed. A moment later she took another step, proceeding through the empty room on the balls of her feet. When she reached the door she swiped the card and stabbed the knife into the control panel, forcing the door to remain open for her eventual exit.

In a sudden and completely spontaneous action a guard leapt toward her. She thrust her hands forward and caught him with her green mana, tossing him away across the room. A guard crept behind her and she elbowed him in the gut, grabbing his outstretched arm and hurling him over her shoulder.

The final guard dropped his weapon and took a step back. She smirked

"Good choice"

Within minutes he was tied up and she was rushing out of the room. Eventually she found herself in a dark hallway. She smirked. This was where she was supposed to be. She crept forward on the balls of her feet, gaze dating around warily, hands at the ready in case of an attack.

"Bring me chili fries!" a voice screamed out from the end of the hall

"Bingo" she smirked, breaking into a run

She raised her hand, charging it up with mana as she ran, and drew it back, skidding to a stop and slamming it forward through the door when she reached it. The door crumbled and fell off its hinges, slamming to the ground inside the cell. The occupant shrieked in surprise. She stepped in, and his eyes widened

"What are you doing here?"

"Busting you out" she tensed when alarms began blaring "Come on, we need to move" shouts were heard down the hall "Now!"

He quickly stood and took her outstretched hand, and she took off in a run.

"Stay behind me!" she ordered when she spotted guards, diving forward and taking them out quickly. They rushed through the door right before the security locks engaged and it slammed shut.

She tore her knife out of the item and took off once more, giving the man behind her no choice but to follow.

"Why can't we just teleport?" he asked her as they slipped into a doorway right before several guards ran past

"They have a barrier around the prison" she replied "I can't teleport when I'm inside it" they slipped out and broke into a run "So we have to do it the hard way"

He groaned softly, ducking down as a knife whizzed past him, and the woman swung a guard over her head and sent him crashing into a wall.

"I-"

"Pay attention" she growled "We're almost out. If you die now, I'll kill you"

He nodded slowly.

Soon enough they were outside the building, screams echoing behind them, and the sounds of dogs was close to follow.

"Where does the barrier end?"

"Just past the pavement" she grabbed him and took off, dogs right behind her.

The pale teenager in her arms screamed in terror as jaws clamped shut a hairs width away from his leg. The woman grunted and leapt off the concrete, jaws snapping shut right behind her.

"Stop her!"

The dogs leapt, and with a snap they exited the barrier and were teleported away.

"Well that was eventful" he sighed "I don't see the point in that" he fixed her with a stern look as she took off her shirt and reached for a clean one "They'll just come for me here"

"No they wont. I left a fake copy. It will remain there for the remainder of your sentence. How long was it again?"

"I haggled Azmuth down to a year"

"And how long is left?"

"Um..." he paused "Nine months"

"Then we just need to keep Azmuth away for nine months. no biggie" she dropped her jeans and grabbed a pair of jogging pants "Your clothes are in the next room is over. My sister passed out on the couch, don't wake her. I didn't tell her I was breaking you out, and I want to tell her myself"

"Okay" he paused "Is my jacket in there?"

She smirked knowingly

"Yes"

"Okay" he nodded again, turning to leave the room. He paused in the doorway, looking over his shoulder at the woman. She raised an eyebrow as she grabbed a brush and began tugging it through her hair "Thank you"

She smiled and nodded, and he left the room.
