Wow it's been over two years and I doubt anyone remembers this story, but lol I was in the mood. I still haven't even read Glass Sword yet, but I did guess the title of King's Cage, so there's that. Anyway, this is so short, but it's better than nothing.
This one goes out to anyone who wanted me to continue writing this fic. Sorry it took so long.

Chapter 2
"Miss me already?"
I'll admit I see him a little too often. I come down here whenever I'm having bad dreams, or whenever I need to think. Cal's always willing to let me talk—knowing full well that any chance he's got in getting out of his cell lies with me.
"Gods above, Cal," I say, taking his hands in mine. "Just tell them you're ready to fight and be done with this silly little game of yours."
He chuckles. "But if I did that, then they'd actually expect me to help out around here. Besides, you treat your prisoners well."
He's not lying. Were it not for the shackles on his wrists, one likely wouldn't be able to tell he'd been living down here in his—in my opinion—overly glamorous cell since we got here. "I think you and I both know that your cell is not exactly what's considered 'standard' around here. I fought Farley tooth and nail to make sure they didn't treat you like crap."
It had taken hours of persistency on my part, but I'd known and I still know that eventually one day Cal will come to his senses and understand that his best choice lay in allying himself with the Scarlet Guard so long as we don't treat him the way Maven treated us.
I hope today is the day he finally proves me right.
"So what do you say?" I ask. "Are you finally willing to fight with us?"
He barely dipped his head in answer, but it was answer nonetheless.
"Good. You start training immediately."
Hope that didn't suck! Sorry it was so short but I didn't know what to write.
See you all whenever I update again!
