S tars twinkled, as I lay curled on my side, staring through the barred window. In the muck of memories I wanted to forget from home, the ones I most loved were of the nights I would sing to Aleysia while staring out at the stars. Tears formed in my eyes, and closing my lids over them, I hummed her favorite song, fighting to hold back the trapped tears as my voice hardly carried over Dolion’s snores in the next cell. Covering my ears to drown the noise, I raised the pitch, and for the briefest moment, I was back in my own bed, with my sister lying beside me.

When the song ended, I opened my eyes, and caught a flicker of movement from the shadows, only noticeable beneath the sconces burning outside my cell. Frowning, I sat up, trying to discern what it was I’d seen.
