Chapter 58

• Turning, to check, I saw the man standing guard over his prisoners had noticed my arrival. That was bad. I stood above him on the cage, and he had no way to reach me. I stopped for a second, long enough to be happy they didn’t use guns or my life would have ended today. Victor would have been very upset with me then.
• Shaking my head, I focused and looked down at the eyes looking up at me. They moved to the bars, making noise, arms reaching out to their guard and making him back away. It was the only chance I was going to have, so I squatted down and jumped to the floor, and pulled the knife on my leg free. I stayed low to the floor and looked over at the man, his sword was ready to strike.
• With my heart pounding, I flicked the knife as Victor had said to do, squealing when it stuck into his leg above the knee. He made a noise and then growled and raised his sword. I crouched down further making myself small and watched, then he vanished and only Daxx stood where he had been.
