It's a risk, following her. Yet the first time he saw her, cowering beneath her scars, he knew he had no choice.
She wants her revenge and he wants his freedom- and maybe hers too. They've built her a cage and she shivers in it, dreams and wakes in it. He doesn't know much about her, but he knows this. She's escaped them, but she'll never be free until their blood melts her chains.
He shares her cage at night, keeps her warm when her dreams chill her to the bone. Ignores the risks and everything they stand for, because he's already succumbed.
