Back in the wastelands, in the queen's chamber, the queen lay deep asleep in her gigantic bed, tangled up in her silky bedsheets because of the frequent tossing and turning due to having one of her unwanted episodes again. Those nightmares that still managed to have some kind of hold on her while she was sleeping. Her beautiful hair lay spraid out around her frowned face in a halo while her icy orbs behind her eyelids moved rapidly, in sync with her rising hearbeat.
Meanwhile on the otherside of the room, behind a hidden door, which could only be seen and opened by the queen herself or by someone who had acces to her magic, Micah lay also in bed, but contrary to the queen, he was fully awake. He was starring up at the ceiling who was completely covered with beautiful, hand crafted mirrors, who were decorated at the edges with different colored ice crystals, who were sparkling in the early morning light.
His mind was full of fluttering thoughts. First thoughts of how to find a way to escape this cold hell and then next, thoughts of how his mother was doing, worried of how her condition and how his kidnapping would have affected her emotionally and mentally which probably wouls also trigger some unwanted physical effects on her health as well. It made him worried deeply because hsi mothers illness had really started to have more and more impact on her wellbeing and he hated it when he saw her suffer like that! It pained him greatly to know, that he couldn't do anithing from this crazy place to help her, to make her suffer less, to be there for her when she needed to go to the hospital for her treatments. All he could do now, was sit and wait until either that wicked and equally beautiful woman was going to let him go or, he would find another way to escape. But as he thought about it, neither of those two options seemed possible right now. the womand does not seem like the type of person to be easy going as to make a deal with and her behaviour was unpredictable as the seasons as well. \the other option was slightly better although for that one he needed either help from someone willing or he had to find a way to gather more info about the place he was staying so he could plan his escape himself. As he started thinking back of what he till so far knew about the place he was held hostage in, his train of thoughts suddenly were cut off somewhere in the middle when he heard soft moaning coming from the otherside of the hidden door. He turned his head and faced the wall while keeping utterly silent. The noise had stopped but then sudenly he heard whimpering or crying coming from the otherside which made him raise a suprised and curious eyebrow.
Is she crying?! he thought by himself as he slowly slipped out of his bed, shivering in the process the moment his feet touched the ice cold floor. Quickly he looked around the room where they had places some of his clothes and found them eventually on a chair in the corner. He almost ran over to the spot and sat down on the chair while putting his socks on before he slipped himslef in his trousers and shirt before he got up again.
As he aproached the door, he kept his ears and eyes open as to prepare himself for the unknown. When he reached the door touched it briefly with his finger tips, just a quick thouch as to find out if it was bobby trapped or something like that, but to his happiness, nothing happened so now hi fully placed his hands on it, searching for a way to open it it since there was no door handle, well not one as far he could see anyways.
He was just about to continue his search so more when a loud pearcing sceam came from behind the door making a shiver run down his spine. He froze on his spot and contemplated for a second or two what to do. Should he continue and try to find out what was going on or would he stay in here and go back to bed as a coward?....
''Nope not gonna happen! i am the Don, NOT a coward, NEVER!'' he mumbled under his breath as he went back to his pile of clothing and grabbed his shoes and stepped backward and waited just in case he would hear another scream. But he was met again with utter silence, so he proceeded with his last minute plan and stapped back some more untill the back of his legs thouched the bedframe.
Then, he propelled himself forward and run towards the door like a bull on a mission! Just when he was about to crash into it, he raised his leg high and kicked at the door with all his might, fuelled by his build up anger and frustration of being kidnapped tho this hellish place and being used as a mere sex toy!
At the first blow nothing much happened, only some cracks were heard. But fulled by his determination he went on it again, and again and again, untill his body told him stop and take a breather, just at the same time the door started to move.
As he stood there taking in big gulps of air he watched wide eyed as the door suddenly was forcefully pulled open, revealing a suprised looking Silver.
''What are you, doing in here?!" Silver whispered wide eyed upon seeing the Don dishelved, not like the man he saw before in his own office, with an aura of power hanging around him.
"Mr Frost isnt it?, step aside so i can get out of here and tell me what on earth is gping on in this room, i heard noses and screaming coming from here!'' he awnsered still a bit breathlessly.
Silver shook his head as a no but then an idea popped up in his mind...
"I will help you if you will help me too, otherwise i will leave you here at her mercy!" Silver smirked at his own new plan that could give him the much desired freedom from this wicked place.
"Depends on what you want Silver, if its money you want then you need to wait because i don't have that with me at the moment so what will it be?'' Micah replied eager and happy that maybe his wishes would be garnted in the form of this weired man helping him.
"No money! i just want to go back home, to the village, grab my family and then go with you to the human world'' Silver whispered back as they gently tip toed trough the queen's bed chamber where she was still deep asleep.
Once they were outside her room Silver stopped in his tracks as he scanned the long hallway in search of the other guards but to his luck, he di not spotted any of them and turned around to face Micah who waited eagerly behind him.
''Listen! you will do as i say when i say okay, i know how to get out of this place and not you so stay behind me and keep your eyes and ears open!'' Silver whispered lowly to Micah who only nodded and the in secret rolled his eyes at him. Later when he would be back home he would punisch this silver guy for speaking at him like that! Now he would try to do his best to do as he had said just to get out of here before that queen woman would get a whiff of his escape!
As qiet as possible the moved forward, hidding in dark corners and other blind spots where they would not be seen by the palace guards as they made their way over to Silvers own bed chamber.
When they finally reached it he opened his door and shoved Micah inside just as one of the gaurds who changed shift passed him and stopped, the moment he spotted him.
"Hey, what are you doing up here. are you not supposed to be working downstairs in the dungeons?'' the guard asked suspiciously looking at him.
''I am going! i just had a meeting with the queen and she told me to freshen up so that is what i am going to do and then i will go back down!'' Silver hissed back in annoyance.
''Hmm, okay but be quick!'' the guard grumbled back before he stepped away from SIlver to continue where he was going.
With a deep sigh and a ragging heart beat, Silver also slipped inside and closed the door behind him.
''That was close!" he muttered.
''What are we doing here Silver you promised to get me out of here!" Micah asked him impatiently.
"I will! no worrries but i want to take some items with me in a bag so hold on a minute! also over time i have been here, i have found a short cut to get out into the back yard from this room so it is best we stay here and then leave trough that way as to avoid anymore unwanted hold ups, you get me?''
''Ok, fine as long as you keep your word then i will keep mine too!'' Micah replied while he took a seat on Silver's bed as he waited for him to pack a bag. Silver did not have too much so he was finished quickly.
''I am done, lets go before they miss us both!'' Silver said while glancing quickly trough his room as to see if he gotten everything he wanted, before turning to face Micah again.
''Ok, lead the way!'' Micah said, being happy that they finally would make a move again.
The shortcut Silver had talked about was trough a small pssage in a piece of rock that was dugg a long time ago in the past. Both men were shivering of the cold wind that went trough it as they slowly made their way to the exit.
Finally after mintes had passed that had felt to Micah more like hours, they both saw the snow covered ground coming up in front of them. Just befere they fully stepped out of the dimly lid secret pssage Silver stopped agin and listened. Bot men heard the sudden noice of loud bells in the air.
''Shit! listen up, when is say run , you run as fast as you can to that place overthere, tyou see it? do not stop untill you reach there. go it?'' Silver spoke hastly to Micah who nodde he understood.
After once more glance around the yard Silver gave to GO word and Micah run towrds Silver had pinted his finger and then Silver followed suit, all the while praying they were not too late as he knew that it would only be a matter of mere minutes before the guards would be here to catch them!
