Chapter Three
"Please, my sister needs help, please come back!"
Terra called from the cells. As she yelled I could hear
someone muttering, "Remember us Selena. Please. Don't turn
your back on your family. Your mother told you to not
forget your past. And you've gone and forgotten it all.
Your mother will turn over in her grave if she hears this."
I walked back over to the holding cells. I looked into
Tessa and Terra's cell. It appeared that Tessa had gotten
stuck with a piece of loose iron from the walls that had
lain on the floor. I turned towards the slave dungeon door.
"Serefina. Call the healer. Now I have a prisoner that
needs help in the magic department. Tell her that no harm
will come to her as long as she doesn't make me mad." Why
am I doing this? But something tells me that I need to take
care of these people. I feel like I am the one in charge of
the Night Harbor Society. We are the last remaining
civilized colony around and I need to take care of them.
Besides, there is plenty for me to do now that there are
people in the dungeon. First off I've got to interrogate
some of them. Namely on what happened after I was captured,
what happened after the firestorm and why they have been
caught and locked down here."
"Selena. Here is your healer. It's the only one that
would come even with your protection. Most of them are
scared of your prisoners. This is Madeline Cartwright. She
has been here all of her life and her family has always
been the dungeon healers. I'll leave you to get to work.
Shit, the bells are going off. There must be an emergency
cause that means we are to all report to great hall and
unless one of us has done something wrong my guess is that
there is trouble brewing." Serefina ran to join the stream
of people heading towards the stair door. The lights in the
dungeon went out as she closed the door.
"As Serefina said I am Madeline. Now where is the poor
witch that needs my help? I have to tend to that iron cut
before it poisons her." I pointed into the cell and removed
the blocks from it. Madeline walked on through and sat down
next to Tessa.
"Madeline if you need me I'll be around the corner in
the common cell. Now lets see. I want you three to follow
me." I pointed at the cell containing the other three girls
from the power house and with a snap I unlocked the doors.
"This way if you please."
"Please, my sister needs help, please come back!"
Terra called from the cells. As she yelled I could hear
