JASMINE BELOW DECKS

The guard locked her chain.

"Could you a bit more careful please." Jasmine asked. "My wrists hurt."

The guard spat at her feet and sneered at her.

"Careful? You have the tongue you traitor. But your father was not careful when he was raping and killing our women." He said.

Jasmine was tired now.

Everything was out in the open.

Her secret was out there now.

Xaden knew who she was, there was not reason to pretend anymore.

She felt a sudden burden off her shoulders now that everything had happened.

Of course she did not want him to know who she was because she knew he would never understand.

But now that it has all come out in broad daylight there was no point in her hiding her feelings.
