A tie?” Even Elara’s face slipped. She glanced at Thorne again, uncertain. “No worries,” he said quickly, too quickly. “We’ll just go another round.”

Taking a slow breath, she activated the crystal. Dark energy flickered across its surface before the figures of the Witch Queen and Rogue King appeared.

"I will do whatever it takes to make sure Dominic isn't found and that everyone leaves alive." Jake then turned his final card. Ace of Hearts. "My job will be to help our gang escape and explain to them what's really going on." We nodded in agreement before everyone looked at me. "And finally," Xavier announced which made me smirk demonically. I turned my card and held it in between two of my fingers. "Our Queen!"

Lisa walked over and sat down, noting that one of the servants offered Mira a chair out of earshot but still in the shade. “Apologies for the dramatic entrance.” The High Queen said quietly once the servants had withdrawn. “I have to put on a good show for the common people.” The Queen had a heart shaped face, with dark eyes that seemed to sparkle and apart from her dress and crown everything else about her appeared to understated, except for the massive sparkling ruby ring she wore on her wedding finger.

I could feel the feeling begin to return to my body and tears prick the corners of my eyes. I sucked in a deep breath and walked over to Eureka SkyDeck, paid and went up, up and up until I was at The Edge. Maybe the view of the city would help me figure things out and if it failed, well, I was going to be way high above ground and a lot could happen.
