Escape Attempt

Andricia

My blood runs ice-cold as I stare up at my near-lifeless mate staked to the wall. His blood leaks from his throat and wrists. The two goons are on the ground unconscious and I stand pulling out each stake in his wrists. I pull the one at his throat, and he falls into me. I lay him down gently and tore the flesh on my wrist open. My blood leaks down into his mouth.

“Silas?” I shook him slightly. He doesn’t move, and his eyes look dull like he isn’t within himself. I see the goons getting up and recovering, and I scoot backward away from them, tears streaming down my face.

“Si!” I screamed desperately, but no movement still.

Little bird?

He is quiet in my head once more. The goon’s eyes land on me and I still don’t see Silas moving at all.

You need to run, little bird! Don’t let them catch you!
