Whispers of the Wild Hunt
The gorilla man follows behind, his shoulders and head grazing the edges of the door frame, before slamming the barred door shut behind him.
The lock turns into place as they walk away, silence following them. I can feel the people around me, my magic calling to all of their broken pieces, but none of them dare to make a noise. And I can’t say I blame them.
I roll onto my back, my knees and arms no longer having the strength to hold me up. The ache in my ribs is back with full force, deepening with every inhale, but I refuse to give them the satisfaction of my tears. Hell, if I wouldn’t give them to my jailers in Faerie, these monsters sure haven’t earned them.
