Sorry I haven't written in a while. My life gets pretty crazy sometimes!

Chapter 9

"You know that was pretty stupid what you did." Abe's voice startled me.

"What are you doing here? I'm not supposed to have visitors remember." He stood there looking down at me with that stupid grin on his face. Leaning against the cell bars.

"Never under estimate my abilities."He spoke quietly to me. "You will only be in this cell for a little while longer."

"But how? I escaped; they won't let me out of their sight now."

"What did I just tell you? Never under estimate my—"

I cut him off, "your abilities, so you say. So what's your plan Zmey?"

With a cocky smile and his eyebrow raised he said, "A magician never reveals his tricks. So you'll just have to trust me with this one."

"So you're a magician now?"

"Rosemarie."

"Ugh fine no more jokes. When will I get out of this hell hole?"

"Soon. Don't worry we'll have you out of here soon enough."

"We? Who else is working with you? Is Lissa?"

The guard came in; looked at Abe then at me and smirked, "Times up."

While Abe was heading down that dark hallway I shouted, "You can't let her get involved! It will destroy her! Don't let her!"

I'm not sure if Abe heard any of that but I pray he did. If Lissa was to get involved in any of this the ramification of it all would be unforgiving. Especially without Queen Tatiana's help.

I didn't notice it before but I started to pace back and forth between the small bed in the left hand corner of the room and the barred wall on the right side. I stopped and went back to my favorite little corner huddled back to the same position I had been in before when Adrian and Abe came to my rescue. It was starting to become a habit. And I was starting to think that I would never get out of here.

My head had been leaned on my knees until the sound of a tap against the bars made me look up.

A man in a black suit with a stunningly bright blue tie stood at the bar doors. "Miss Hathaway?"

"Yes."

"Allow me to introduce myself my name is Alex Hughes. And I am here to get you out of this cell."

Sorry this was a short chapter.
