Kaidën
I don't watch Piper as she walks away, choosing instead to stare into the glittering stars in the sky.
Their golden brightness reminds me of Aria's flowing gold hair.
I smile to myself and run my hand over my face.
Emotions surge from my chest, and I wonder what I can do next.
If Piper really can't help me get Aria out of there, does that mean I'll have to trust her to get herself out?
She has my shadow with her, but will that be enough?
I suddenly remember the dream I had when they'd first taken her-the one where she was being beaten by Piper's guard.
Is it possible that I can see when she's in danger, or is that a rare fluke?
Either way, it's not like I can just sit here and wait. I still have a number of things to do, but Aria comes to the top of that list.
