“What do you want with me?” I spat, leveling him with a look that was fit to kill.
“Well, for starters, I want to know how you got in here. This place is supposed to be impenetrable.”
“You have a shit security team, then,” I retorted, and he narrowed his eyes, clearly not amused.
“Second, I want to know what you were looking for,” he said, his tone menacing.
“And what makes you think I’m going to tell you?” I replied. I gritted my teeth. I was going to hold my ground no matter what. This wasn’t the first time I’d been in a sticky situation, and it certainly wouldn’t be the last.
“Because I’ll make you,” he replied, his voice a low growl.
“Fuck you,” I snapped.
“Such language,” he murmured, his eyes glittering dangerously.
“Go to hell,” I bit out.
“Boss, there’s something outside you should see,” one of the guards blurted out, and that was when a giant black wing smashed through the window and sent glass flying everywhere. A dragon’s roar echoed just outside the building, and then the entire thing rattled dangerously.
“We might want to get out of here,” I said bluntly, looking out the window to see a giant black dragon breathing fire and another gold dragon chomping down some of Gregor’s men.
“Agreed,” Gregor said, and that was the last thing I remembered before the world went dark.
When I woke up, my head was throbbing. I blinked my eyes open, wincing at the bright light. As the world swam into focus, I realized I was lying on the cold concrete floor in a small, dimly lit room. There wasn’t anything else inside it except for me. The walls were grungy, and it appeared that I was somewhere underground, but I couldn’t tell anything more than that.
“You’re finally awake,” a deep, masculine voice rumbled, and my pulse quickened.
“Where am I?” I asked, trying to sit up. But the movement sent a fresh wave of pain crashing through my head, and I winced.
What the fuck…?
Last I remembered, Gregor’s goons had come crashing into the room, and everything went black. I blinked rapidly, trying to clear my vision when a tall figure came into view.
“Now that I’ve got you all to myself, I figured you and I could have a conversation,” the man rasped, and I slowly realized that it was Gregor.
“A conversation? It seems a bit one-sided,” I spat, narrowing my eyes.
“You will have your chance to speak. But for now, let me talk.”
“Fine,” I muttered, trying to keep my voice from shaking.
“You were in my house for a reason. What were you looking for?”
“Nothing.”
“That’s not the answer I was hoping for. And I’m going to assume you have something to do with the two dragons currently wrecking my front lawn,” he snarled.
“Dragons aren’t real. You must be insane,” I lied. I hoped Murtagh and Caspian were alright. I knew they were hard to kill, but that didn’t mean that they couldn’t get killed, and it sure as shit didn’t mean that they couldn’t get hurt.
“So, you expect me to believe that those beasts on my front lawn are just really big lizards?”
“Yeah,” I retorted, and he glared at me.
“You’re lying,” he said.
He reached into his pocket and drew out a knife. In several steps, he strode over to me, leaning heavily on his right leg, and pressed the blade against my throat. “Tell me the truth.”
“Or what? You’ll kill me?” I snarled with the unsettled feeling of being in a movie of a genre that I didn’t even like.
