"You are going to letdie here?" Megan let her words sound incredulous.
Rick walked to the bars. "I don't want you to die. But | have no way of getting you out of here without being seen
or found out. If |
could save you and only lose my own life, | would do it. You don't deserve to be here..."
"But?" Megan cut in.
"But | have a pup and a mate who would be executed if | went against Vince." He grabbed the bar and | heard
the sizzle of his skin against the silver. "I can't risk them. | hope you and Amy will understand that." He pulled
back and turned away. "Wait!" Megan called after him.
He turned. "The guard is coming back in a minute. Be quick."
"Will you cback to speak with me?" She tried to get close. "I have so many questions."
Rick looked back to the door. "I can try. But Rick doesn't like random people coming in here."
"Then why did you cin now?" Megan pushed.

Megan sat back. "You cto ease your guilt?"
He shook his head. "Guilt had becmy best friend. There is nothing | could do
to maker the guilt easy at this point. I just felt
like | needed to explain myself to you. If that makes any sense." He raised his shoulder. "I listen to where the

Megan tilted her head. "The goddess?"
Rick bobbed his head. "The last t| felt a push, it was to

You don't deserve this. I'm hoping that if Amy gets back to me, we can

He stayed looking at the door. "I would wait until Vince comes to see you on the day. He has a thing for you, girl,
and he will

like a plague for a day or so. Go then."
"How will I know it's time?"
Rick looked over his shoulder. "Vince is like an addict when he finds a new girl to chase after. He has the same
pattern. He will

visit multiple times a day, then grow frustrated, and the visits will grow less. He's quick to fall, and quick to move
on. Give it a week. By the end he will leave you alone for a day, then you will know." Then Rick pushed out of the
door and leftalone with
my thoughts.
So we are here for at least a week? Nix huffed out a sigh.
| raised a shoulder. It will give us tto collect information. Megan trotted over to the bed and laid down.
Getting comfortable? |
chuckled at her as she dug under the thin blanket.

love for either of you to take over, or share power with me, | also realize we will need most of your power when

That's days from now... Nix offered, but Megan just settled deeper into the bed, curling up.

Good. Megan nodded. | looked at Nix, and we both snorted. But Megan was already asleep. | looked to Nix.
Sleep. I'll take the first watch.
Nix settled against my side. Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. If anyone comes in to talk to us, | will every one up.
Nix curled up and put her head on my lap again. In minutes, she was asleep. Once again | was alone with my

mind to illuminate the book | had in my hands. |
