Melody
I stared at Barkus in horror as he leapt to his feet and backed away from me.
"Okay, Melody, just calm down. Take a deep breath and count to three. I'm going to get Maverhov," Barkus declared, fleeing the room and slamming the door behind him in the hopes that this would protect him from my power.
He's going to get Maverhov. They're going to kill me. I have to leave. I can't stay here. But what if he's already told the guard not to let me pass and where can I go? He controls the streets and I can't go to the magicians. I hate them. But I can't stay here. Nodding to myself, I stood and wiped the tears from my eyes. I could be strong when it was necessary and now was the time. But how to get out?
I left the room first, carefully closing the door behind me for those extra few seconds head start. Then I realised that the corridor led to only two places; back to Maverhov's study through which we had entered or onwards to the other cells. With no choice, I took the second direction and found myself actually hoping that my newly discovered curse would break down a wall or something and grant me my freedom. Suddenly, a cell to my left exploded with such a force that I was knocked off my feet. Either I'm starting to get control of this or that power just wants to be used, I thought wryly as I hurried out into the street and darted round a corner.
