"Hello there, kitten."
The familiar sing-song echoed through Felrin's cramped cell. Familiar, but the last thing he expected to hear. Out of reflex, he looked up and jumped to his feet - or tried, as the chains brought the movement to an abrupt halt.
Standing just outside the heavy barred door, clad in frills, silver-steel armor and already splattered with blood, was exactly who he expected the voice to belong to. The woman who he'd been running from; the woman who had tried to kill him so many times he'd lost count.
"What--" His voice came out as a croak and he cleared his throat. "What in the seven hells are you doing here?"
"Me?" She laughed, unlocking the door with a bloodied key and letting it swing open. "Isn't it obvious? I'm here to rescue you."
