Slowly my thoughts close in. Slowly my mind grows darker. Hope is dwindling. Im falling victim to the cruel coldness of the winter court. Warnings were pounded into my head. Don't show weakness. Keep your guard up. Never make a bargain with anyone. Yet here I was. Showing weakness and dropping my guard down. I honestly wished Puck was here. Wished I was back in Arcadia. Safe in his arms. Safe at home with my family, with my kin. Here I was alone. I need to be stronger. I'm being caged in. I can't leave. Not if I want to return home alive. I tried once and failed. I would now have to bide my time and be patient. Wait for the perfect moment to make my get away.
