chapter 22|Hibi

"Yeah get out of there nice and slow sweetheart"

I kept my head low as I pretended to trudge out of the van, resisting the urge to let a smile escape my lips.

No, I can't laugh yet.

"Hands where I can see em, legs apart. You know the drill" I followed the hideous man's orders reluctantly. When I got close enough he grabbed me by my cuffed wrists and yanked me towards him before attaching a long thick chain to my cuffs.

When he was done he grabbed me by the chains and brought me so close I could smell what his ancestors had for breakfast "You lucky you a pretty one eh? Or else I'd be a lot harder on you" A snarl nearly left my throat but I swallowed it with an uncomfortable cough.

The man nearly snickered at me before grabbing onto the chain and turning around to enter the dungeons. "Follow me, little girl. It's time for you to see your home for the rest of your life". I internally rolled my eyes as he led me down into the darkness where the prisons resided.

We walked in silence. The only sound to be heard was the metal that was wrapped around my limbs. It was quite laughable that they thought I wouldn't escape them, especially considering I am the one that put them on in the first place. Now that we were walking in the dim light I slipped a small smirk on my face.

My plan was simple, see which cell they were keeping Irina in and bust the both of us out before grabbing Cas and getting the hell out of this capital. And everything seemed to be going according to plan. I just hoped Caspian was doing alright.

We got to the dungeon entrance and there stood two guards. Failing terribly at looking intimidating. I almost grinned when I realized they didn't know who I was.

And ignorant opponent meant an arrogant opponent.

"You guys mind giving me a hand with this one?"

The shorter one snorted. "What you can't handle a wee lass like this one? Move along you can handle this one."

There's nothing more that I loved than someone who didn't know what I was capable of.

"Let us know if she gives you to much trouble man" The other guy teased in a clearly mocking tone. The guy leading me clearly decided to use his ego more than his common sense as he let the jeering get to him.

"Nah don't worry I got this one, it's just been a long day innit?"

His companions chuckled and slapped him on the shoulder for good measure. I almost coughed up my lunch when I felt the eyes of both guards on my ass as we were permitted to walk further into the dungeons.

Hisses and begs of all sought immediately came from all angles. Prisoners ran to the edge of their cells pleading for mercy, begging for their lives. Little did they know they'd be there until the rest of their days...or until Adaora's pet got hungry.

I kept my head down but kept an eye out for the cell Irina could potentially be being held in. It was a big dungeon so the possibilities were endless but I hoped I'd find her before being forced into a cell of my own.

Some prisoners recognized me and called me by name. I was probably responsible for putting half of these dimwits in their cells. And they were still clearly very salty about it.

Get over it.

My hopes died down as we reached the end of the dungeons and still not a tuft of dirty blonde hair in sight. I bit my lip as the guard started opening my cell. She wasn't here. Where else would they have taken her except-...shit. My eyes widened and my mind immediately went into overdrive.

Change of plans.

"Before you lock me in here can I show you a magic trick?"

The man did not seem amused by my question as he shoved open my cell. He practically threw me inside. "Save it for your cellmates" He sniffed. I grabbed my chain with both restrained hands and pulled forward.

He stumbled into the cell and I didn't waste a moment. I slipped through his legs and got a boost from one of the bars of the cell, wrapping the chain around his neck. I grabbed the top bar of my cell and swung forward, taking the man to the ground as I landed swiftly on my feet.

The chain was now in between his legs and around his neck.

I didn't waste my advantage as I immediately began to pull tight. He wigged and shuffled around making me choking him much harder to do so I pulled tighter causing him to yelp as his hands fell in between his legs where I was pulling vigorously.

"If you keep moving you can forget about having kids you son of a bitch" I spat in his ear. I yanked the chain tighter causing him to yelp out in pain.

Unfortunately for me the sound of his cries echoed down the hall and caught the attention of everyone...including the guards. "Hey! What's going on down there!" My eyes widened.

"I'm going to have to wrap this up, pass out faster for me will you?" He seemed to comply with my statement as his eyes began to lose their light. Once he was out cold I was out of the cell but unfortunately for me, one of the guards had started making his way back to see what was going on.

His eyes widened when he caught me fully out of the cell. "She got out!" He broke into a sprint and I broke into one in the opposite direction. I ran up the stairs and threw open the dark mahogany door and that stood in the way between me and freedom.

I slammed it shut with both palms and locked it behind me. A sigh of relief leaving my throat. My victory, however, was short-lived as I heard a dark growl behind me. I turned around, and fear immediately washed over me.

I held out my hand in front of me before whimpering "Nice kitty?"
