I needed an escape plan, because I seriously didn't see John letting me loose any time soon. I was going to have to do this on my own. Many different scenarios ran through my head. Maybe I could make a break for it during one of my bathroom trips? Though those chances seemed slim, bathroom breaks were heavily guarded.
Although I hardly saw much of them, John did have his lackeys and most bathroom trips consisted of at least 4 armed strigoi. The bathroom was tiny and had no door, and as uncomfortable as it was they barely ever let their guards down.
I've tried to maintain simple conversations with them every so often but I'm usually either shushed or ignored. I didn't see myself gaining any of their trust for the time being, and I'm sure they've all been warned not to speak to me.
Recently, I've been keeping myself more observant and alert. Before I hadn't really cared about anything that was happening around me, every thing was a blur and I had just given up but now that had all changed. Now I had a purpose, to keep her safe, but I couldn't very much do that from here… or could I? A random thought had begun to grow…the dreams.
What if I've been having them for a reason? It was a crazy idea but I was desperate. The only plan my mind could muster at the moment and anything was worth a shot.
Maybe some things weren't as impossible as they seemed…
