The room was pitch black when I woke up. I tried to think of the last thing I remember before... well ending up here.
My hands were clasped together and my ankles cuffed to a wall. "Hello!?" I shouted.
"Ah, you're finally awake," someone spoke on one side of the room when I heard horse-hoofs walking and then coming to a stop. I must be in a coach or something. Not so much a coach and more like a prison cell but a carriage version.
"Who's there? Why am I in here?" The person opened the curtains revealing a window with the bright sun shining in.
The Darkling was standing in front of me.
"Sir? What are you doing, what's going on?" I asked trying to get out of the chains.
"Don't you remember Amelia?" He smirked and walked forward.
"no," I furiously shake my head trying to remember. I know that this idiot was bad but what happened after baghras?
I tried to remember everything that happened. I squeezed my eyes shut trying to think. Come on! Come on Amelia! Think!

"What's that look on your face Amelia? Where is Alina?" The Darkling said.
I freeze now realizing he had seen me smile when he came in looking for her. I was just happy she had escaped so now was my time to distract him so she could get as far as she could.
How the heck do I distract him?
I walked slowly around the war room table looking at all the maps keeping a smile on my face.
"I don't know where she is, I thought she was with you," I said but before I could think I spoke my jealousy kicking in, "you know somewhere having a good snog."
His eyebrows furrowed and he closed the door and locked it. He walked around the table towards me, "Where. Is. Alina?" he asked in a deep intimidating voice.
"I. Don't. Know." I said with the same tone.
He grabbed my hands tightly and held them behind my back. He stood behind me holding my hands together he whispered in my ear, "what do you know?"
"Everything," I whispered back and stomped on his foot leaving his grasp, "just not where your precious Alina went." That wasn't a lie because I have no idea where she was headed. But I did know she left and all because of him. This evil thing.
I grabbed a knife from my boot and he approached me quickly, pushing me into a wall, "no one was supposed to figure this out!" he yelled and looked down. I let out a groan from being slammed into the wall and I stabbed his arm.
"Ah! You little bit- Ivan!" The Darkling called. Ivan came running into the room.
"Amelia? What's going on?!"
"She helped Alina escape. She is the reason we won't be able to destroy the fold sooner," The Darkling told Ivan. Ivan's facial expression turned from calm to shocked. He ran to me and before he grabbed me I started to crush his heart very slowly trying not to kill him. Because I truly cared for him.
Ivan fought back and it didn't do anything because I was much stronger. It made my nose bleed but nothing compared to what I was doing to him. Ivan fell to his knees, "Ivan, don't trust him. I don't want to hurt you."
"Sorry, Amelia, I don't know who to trust," Someone said from behind me and knocked me out.
I guess that's how I ended up here.
"Why would you trap me here? You just made yourself look more suspicious Darkling," I spit.
"No, I didn't. I know you know things. My idiot of a mother is hiding right now too," Baghra, his mom, "it explains everything," he kneeled to my bloodied face from my nose bleed the other day.
He leaned closer to my face trying to be intimidating when I spit. He flinched then smiled and wiped his face, "you're not scaring anyone, Amelia. But now I have you as my prisoner and you will help me find Alina, or I will kill your precious sister."
"You don't even have her! You can't!"
"She may be carelessly walking around the palace right now, but whenever I say kill," he raised his eyebrows and grinned, "she dies."
"Y-You- Wouldn't!"
He cuffed my chin, "oh but I would, you have until tomorrow to decide, Amelia." he got up and walked towards the carriage door to step out.
"I can't believe I ever even kissed you or trusted you, black heretic," The words sliding off my tongue like venom.
He stopped walking and laughed, "just be happy you actually got to kiss me. Many want to, you're a lucky girl." He then left the carriage leaving me chained to the floor stuck with my thoughts.
Does he really have eyes on Genya? Could he kill her? I started to panic sliding my chained-up hands through my hair. I've got to get out of here somehow.
I tried to slow my own heart down to stay calm. I sat looking down trying to think of a way to save Alina but save Genya too. There was no way. I had no choice.
I had to help him, or he would kill my sister.
