Kaida POV
It was now or never. Life itself was a risk. With a deep breath, I moved closer to the gate and tried to fix the key in with my trembling hands. My adrenaline was high, my breath coming fast and hard as I struggled with the lock.
Thoughts swirled in my mind, making it even harder to concentrate. I had to be out before the third bell rang.
"Come on, come on," I whispered to myself in frustration. Just then, the key slipped from my hands and fell to the floor outside my dungeon. "f**k!" I cursed under my breath. It seemed even the universe was against me.
I looked around, peering outside to make sure the sound of the key hadn't alerted anyone. The other prisoners were already fast asleep. They had no strength left, having been starved for days. They would probably die here.
