Chapter 9
Lord Vile
He followed her; he had been following her for two days. In them two days all she did was walk around the City sulking, she didn't talk to anyone. She failed to notice all the shadows that always followed her.
But today's different. Today she goes down to the prison, to her parent s and the resistance fighters. She seemed to make a show of shouting and kicking Vex and Ghastly. But said words he could only catch snippets off.
"...Talk ...today" Ghastly
Tanith "I...Meeting"
Vex "Get...Out"
Tanith "Shut...Anneliese"
Ghastly "She's scared"
Vex: ough
Tanith then left the prison – Vile followed – she went to where hardly anyone is allowed to go.
I bet Mevolent will be thrilled to know this he thought. She carried on up the stairs to the tallest tower. At the top she said she only wanted to ask the girl a couple of questions. She was allowed past the guards, keeping to the shadows the Vile followed.
"Hello" Tanith's English accent seemed to bounce of the stone walls.
"Hello" a scared voice came from the back of the room, she was chained to the wall by her hands and ankles, she was sat on a bed, her raven hair framed her pale face with violet eyes, which seemed to look into your soul when you looked into them. Tanith knew it was just an act if she took those chains off her, she could destroy everyone in the palace. They shared a brief conversation which Vile couldn't hear without revealing himself. Then he moved slightly and kicked a loose rock, it tumbled across the floor. Tanith stood up from where she crouched and looked around she turned back to the girl
"Be Brave" and left the tower.
