Celaena's POV

I follow the man that will be my death. I don't do well with cuts and bruises as it is!!!

I saw what the girl named Levana came back with, and if anything like that happens to me I may actually die!! 

We enter a room and he tells me to sit down. I do what he says and sit down. He walks over to the counter on the other side of the room and asks me which knife I want. When I don't answer he just grabs a knife and walks slowly over to me. 

I tense up when I see the size of the knife. It is no small knife. When he finally reaches me he brings the knife down and cuts a jagged line down my arm in the shape of a lightning bolt. I don't know why it is a lightning bolt, but it is. 

I internally freak out. 

He brings the knife back up, and starts on my other arm. On this one he writes something. It's one word. Jail. It is no doubt talking about how they found me. 

*Flashback*

I am in front of a prison, with handcuffs on. I got arrested so I could see my dad after 12 years. 

The cops take me into the prison and put me in a chair. I got framed, on purpose. I did not commit a crime, and neither did my dad. We were both framed. And for the same thing.

Murder. 

I was framed for murdering my mum 4 years ago. I have been on the run for 4 years. But I finally gave up. 

My dad was framed for murdering his friend. He didn't struggle. He went willingly. They didn't even give him a trial. They just threw him in this stupid jail. 

So now I am going through the same thing. But this time they have evidence.

I ran away when I was made a suspect.

They bring me into the prison. 

Let me remind you, that I am a 13 year old girl. 

They start walking me to the cell my dad is in.

They were going to let me be with him.

We finally get there and they throw me into the cell. My dad runs over to me and gives me a big hug.

BOOM

We all fall down. 

BOOM

The building shakes, and rubble falls from he ceiling.

My father grabs me and starts running, before another explosion happens. 

When we get to the door of the prison my dad lets go of my hand and says for me to go.

I am so shocked that I can't speak.

"GO!!" He screams again.

"NO!!! DAD I CAN'T LEAVE YOU AGAIN!!"

"CELAENA YOU HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY GET TO YOU!!!"

And with that my father is gone.

And I am left alone. 

A man grabs my wrist and pulls me away.

They got me.

*End of Flashback*

This man throws me back in the room without a second glance.

I am about to pass out. I look at everyone in the room right before I pass out.

I know what they mean now.
