"Leave her alone!" Laeddin's voice pierced through my soul.
My heart pricked with pain. My genie was the Unknowns' prisoner. I almost spoke his name, but I covered my mouth - or tried to. The Unknowns didn't know I could hear them. I was at an advantage because I knew their plan. They wanted me dead so they could start over. I wouldn't let that happen. Somehow I would get back to my body. I would save Laeddin and everyone else. As Joanna said, it was my destiny and had been since the day I was created.
"The genie wants to fight back," the male said, interrupting my thoughts. "How amusing."
"I know what to do about him - about all of them," the female said.
Laeddin, I cried out in my mind, desperate.
"Can the girl hear us?" the male asked, surprise in his voice.
"That isn't possible," the female responded.
