On The Count Of Three

Laina sprinted to Kol, though she was careful not to make too much noise as it may alert the patrolling guards. When she arrived by Kol's side, Laina smiled. They had found her. 

The whistle in her possession was glowing brightly.

Victoria was kept in her own cell. Her body slumped to one side with her head facing the wall. Laina could not believe that Kragen would leave Victoria in such a horrid cell. 

Someone who treats his supposed mate like this was not fit to be King. Kol looked at Victoria with a saddened expression. The scene before him reminded him of his own plight. When he disobeyed his previous master, he would be beaten bloody and bruised before being thrown into a cell just like this. 

"We need to get her out of here," Laina whispered to Kol. 

"Hey! Who goes there!" A soldier shouted in their direction, surprising them.
