Chapter 4
Sean's life in the dungeon fell into a pattern. Every morning, a human would bring him food. It was always the same thing: lumpy, cold oatmeal. Once he and Jess had coughed it down, they would push their bowls through the bars of the cage and the human would return to collect them. He could then craw over to Jess and they would talk until they were both fast asleep. Then, the cycle would start again. This never changed, until one day when Jess and Sean had just started talking. The dungeon doors banged open and footsteps clicked on the icy staircase. Jess's eyes widened and she grabbed Sean's hand, gripping it tightly. A beautiful young girl around their age appeared. She looked up at the staircase and said, "Hurry up!" Suddenly, Trevor, Sydney and Lucy appeared. But Sean's gaze was not focused on them. His gaze was locked on the princess, who had declared herself Princess Ferra. "Rose," He whispered.
Ferra swung open the cell door and shoved the rest of the group inside. "What are you going to do with us?" Asked a frightened Trevor.
"That's none of your concern," snapped Ferra, her eyes blazing like a fire that would never be caught dead in this kind of world.
