Bab 111: A Sneak Attack

[Elise’s POV]

“Warren!”

I cling to the bars of my cell while the guard's name dances off my tongue. I knew he was here, even if he was trying to pretend he wasn’t.

“Warren!” I repeat, crushing my face between two bars. “I know you’re there; why are you ignoring me?”

Goddess, I was bored, and there was still so much time left before we were allowed to head out to the grounds to get some exercise. Add in that I didn’t sleep worth a shit due to my vision of something dangerous taking place around my niece, and I was chomping at the bit to release a lot of pent-up nervous energy.

“Oh handsome!” I continue. “Don’t tell me you’re going to ignore me because of what that spoilsport pretty boy said.”

“Pretty boy?”

The voice drifts towards me, grating on my last remaining nerve. Why was he here? Shouldn’t he be with my sister and their child, protecting them, since anything could happen?
