Sorry it took longer for this chapter, kinda had some writers block :P Hope you guys enjoy it anyways!

Cress looked around the small space and tried to figure out where she was. Noticing a small window, she walked over to it and looked out. All she could see was stars for

miles and miles. She began to realize she was locked in a satellite and it appeared she had no way of getting out. She didn't know how she got there or why she was there in

the first place. She was starting to panic when she heard a random noise coming from behind one of the doors. Scrambling around, she tried to find anything she could us as a

weapon. Finally she found a frying pan that seemed like it could work if she swung hard enough.

"Cress? Cress where are you?" A males voice came from behind the door. Jumping, Cress searched for a place to hide, she opened one of the doors, finding a very small

washroom behind it.

"Perfect..." She whispered. Turning off all the lights, she ran back into the washroom. Right then the door opened, she peeked around the door frame to see if she could get a

glimpse of the man looking for her. It was too dark, she could only make out the shadow of his body searching the room.

"Cress, it's me! I know you are in here...just where..." He turned toward the washroom and she slammed herself to the wall. He probably couldn't see her with how dark it

was but she didn't want to risk it. Heart pounding, she brushed all her hair to her right side and peered out the doorway again. This time though, she didn't see him anywhere,

her stomach dropped as she got up to look where he had gone. She carefully looked around, checking everywhere once more, before taking a step out of the washroom. The

frying pan sat heavily in her right hand, hopefully cover enough by her blonde locks that the man wouldn't see it right away. The further she got away from the washroom the

more she felt exposed. Suddenly there was a hand one her shoulder.

"Cress I finally fo-" Cress slammed her frying pan into the side of strangers head before he could finish, knocking him out. She gasped as he fell to the floor. She just knocked

a man out!

"Deep breathes Cress, deep breathes." She tried to calm herself unsuccessfully. Turning on the lights, she kept trying to calm herself.

"Come on, it's not too bad. I mean I was just defending myself right? He'll understand...right?" Starting to feel crazy she stopped talking to herself and focused on trying the

mans wrists and ankles together.

"Ughhhhhhhhh..." Rubbing the his head, the stranger started to move again, startling Cress even more. "Where am I? Oh right... you..."

"M-Me?" He made eye contact with Cress making her feel breathless. They were the bluest eyes she had ever seen, it made her feel like he could read her every thought and

emotion.

"Yes you, I've been worried sick after you disappeared." He tried to lift his hand to caress her check but noticed his wrist were tied together. "Um... why did you tie me up?"

"Who are you? Why were you worried sick when I have never seen you in my life?" Cress said more to herself, trying to jog her memory if she had ever met him before.

"Cress, it's me! Thorne? Ya know the one you are madly in love with and rightfully so." He smiled and winked at her.

"Um...I think you have the wrong girl..." She started backing away from him.

"No I do not! What has gotten into you? You are acting like we've never met!"

"Because we haven't...?"

"Ugh, Cress I swear if this is some kinda sick joke.." Thorne started to get up, making Cress remember her failed mission to tie his ankles together.

"Wa-wait a second, I still don't know who you are and why you are here." She tried to sound tough but her voice came out high pitched and shaky, even to her own ears.

"You want to know why I am here?" He started walking towards her and she backed up. "This is why I am here."

"WH-" Suddenly, Cress was pressed up against a wall and Thorne's lips were on hers. She couldn't breath, and strangely it was the best she could ever remember feeling.

Then it all came back to her, Thorne, Cinder, Scarlet, Wolf, Winter, Jacin, Kai, and her father. She could remember everything.

"Thorne, I remember..." She whispered breaking the kiss.

"I knew you would." He whispered back looking deep into her eyes. "Hey, you don't look so good, do you need to lay down?"

Cress nodded, the feeling of breathlessness from the kiss was replaced with a feeling of wooziness. The world around her was slowly becoming more and more fuzzy.

"Cress? Cress! Can you hear me?" She heard Thorne's voice but could no longer see him. She was falling and darkness was encasing her.

THUD

Cress bolted up the moment she hit the floor. She glanced around at her small room, no satellites in sight. No tall handsome somewhat strangers either. She sighed as she

got up off the floor. It was just like her brain to give her an overly complicated dream right before the biggest day of her life. Trying to escape from Luna was not an easy

task, especially when the reason you were doing it involved saving someone's life. Shaking off the dream, she checked her list one more time to make sure she had

everything packed. After checking everything off the list, she began to get ready. She pulled her long hair into a braid to keep it from slowing her down, then pulled a thin

dress over her head and grabbed her bags. Checking the weather in Paris one more time before closing the door behind her, she didn't want to land unprepared. Her

portscreen went off, startling her. Glancing down at it she noticed it was a text from her caregiver, Sybil. She thought she had been lucky, how many orphaned kids get a

caregiver let alone one from the royal place! She thought it was going to be like getting a mother she had never had. And it was in a way, if she had wished for an evil,

controlling, and abusive one. She read the text.

'Where are you?! I told you I needed you today! You do remember right? Or are you so stupid that you can't remember what day it is?'

The text went on to cuss her out and tell her how worthless she was, her own parents didn't even want her. Determined, she deleted the text and went on towards the

docks. Of course she knew what day it was! The day Queen Selene would be leaving to meet the King and Prince of the Eastern Commonwealth. The thing everyone else didn't

know was that it was the day Levana was going to try to assassinate Selene. When Cress had first heard about what they were going to try to attempt, the first thought was

to go to the authorities. But then she realized that by turning them in, she was turning herself in. Sybil had her working on the plan without Cress knowing what the plan

actually was. She had hacked Prince Kai's portscreen and texted Selene that they would be meeting in Paris now, and to meet him underneath the Eiffel Tower at midnight.

At first she thought it was just because they were actually changing the plans, she didn't know she had just impersonated Kai himself! She also was the one to contact the

solider base hidden in France, thinking it was for the security of the Queen. Cress didn't realize what she had done until she heard Levana and Sybil talking one day.

"Can you believe how handy that little street scum has become?" Sybil snickered.

"Honestly, when you brought her here I thought you were as stupid as you claimed her to be. Now seeing her in action, I must give you credit. But the plan hasn't happened

yet. If she does one thing to jeopardize this mission, I will personally see to her demise."

"Of course my Queen, I would be personally be willing to help you in the case of her failure." Sybil bowed to Levana.

That was when Cress knew something more was happening, the way they were acting, Sybil bowing to Levana. Cress's blood ran cold just thinking about the way

Levana grinned at the title queen.

"Excuse me miss?" A hand waving across her face snapped her out of her daze. "I need to see your ticket miss."

"Oh, of course, sorry." Blush crept its way up her neck as she rushed to find her ticket. So much for not drawing too much attention to herself.

"Thank you and enjoy your ride one the Lady Catherine Miss Cressent." Eyes going wide, she was about to ask him how he knew her name when she he suddenly went

running towards the ship. "We have a wannabe stowaway." The man fiercely whispered into a small device on his uniform after whooshing past her.

"Okaaaayyyy..." Cress mouthed to herself while walking onto the ship, it was bigger than she thought it would be, but it was beautiful. She was blown away by the colors,

deep browns and reds covered the ship with the most gorgeous white roses popping all around inside. Cress began to wonder how she was able to afford this at all.

"Beautiful isn't it?" A young women with the same hair color as the brown on the ship popped up next to Cress.

"It is..." She whispered a response.

"I am glad you think so."

"Catherine! Catherine where are you?" A middle age women was calling from the sign in desk.

"I got to go, it was nice to meet you." The young women curtsied and smiled at Cress, then ran to the women.

Cress looked around one last time before deciding to try and find her room. Finding it, she turned the knob and began to walk in when she was shoved in.

"Hey what ar-" A hand went across her mouth.

"Listen blondie, I need you to be very quiet." The stranger whispered.

Cress tried to get a good look at the stranger, but she wish she hadn't.

"Thorne?" She gasped into his hand. Thorne whipped his head down at her and smirked.

"So you have heard of me?"
