A/N: I don't own Fablehaven. Enjoy! :)
Kendra sat in disbelief. "You're a unicorn!" She exclaimed.
Bracken blushed silver. "I am. I've been in this prison for a couple centuries. I've stopped counting."
Kendra just stared not really knowing what to say. Maddox filled the silence for them.
"Uhh thank you for fixing me up." He said.
Bracken smiled. "My pleasure."
They again sat in silence. Although this silence wasn't as awkward. Bracken began to stand when he froze mid-air. "Another new person. That's three in one day!" Bracken grabbed her hand she barely got out a, "See you around." Before she was dragged out.
They headed back in the direction of her cell. Turns out the new prisoner was right next door. Bracken opened the wall again. Inside was the last person she thought she would see.
"Gavin." Kendra cried and ran into his arms.
"K-k-kendra. You a-are s-s-supposed to be d-dead." Gavin stuttered out. Clearly excited and relieved to see her.
Bracken was relieved to see it was another friend. He trusted Kendra. She was handmaiden to the Fairy Queen. She wouldn't trust without reason.
"I'm supposed to be dead but I'm not. It was a stingbulb. The Sphinx had me kidnapped."
Gavin looked visibly angry. "I-i'll pound him i-i-into ground m-meat." He meant it.
Kendra just hugged him tighter. "It's unfortunate that you're here but I'm glad I get to see you."
Gavin smiled. "S-s-same here."
(30 minutes before.)
"Let me get this straight. You want me to keep pretending to be this stuttering boy to keep Kendra in line?" Navarog asked.
"Yes. You will be the perfect bait to get Kendra to do what I want." The Sphinx replied.
"But I hate pretending to stutter. It's a lot of work. Also didn't you say you have a unicorn dow there. What if he figures me out?"
"That's another thing Kendra is good for. She is fairykind, so the unicorn will trust her judgement and won't question you if you play it cool."
Navarog just stared at him for a moment. "She's fairykind! Do you knowhow valuable that is!"
"I am aware. That's why I have her in the dungeon. She can't be stolen from me."
Navarog just continued to stare for a moment. "Fine I'll do it. But I want something in return."
"And what is that?"
"When you are completely done with her, I want her dead."
"What!?"
"She could be too dangerous if she were to escape. I want her gone when you are compleletly done with her. That is the only way I will work for you now."
The Sphinx thought about the offer. "Fine. When I am done with her she is as good as gone."
Navarog smiled. "Then we have a deal."
(Present)
Gavin smiled into her hair. "K-k-kendra. I'll protect y-you I-i-i promise."
Kendra and Bracken being none the wiser sat and talked to 'Gavin' for a long time. Navarog smiled knowing what will happen.
