She searches all the cages. But Isiea isn't there.

She moved back behind the boys, still watching.

Then where was she?


Then Ash gave a dark, humorless chuckle and stepped forward. "We can stand around looking at each other all night," he said, locking gazes with the biggest redcap, who had a stained red bandana on his head and was missing an eye. "Or would you like me to start the massacre?"

One-Eye bared his fangs. "We got no quarrel with you." He sniffed and brushed his crooked nose. "Just heard the rumor you was in town, see, and wed like to have a few words with the lady before you go, thats all."

A little girls' voice suddenly sounds behind them. It's a tiny, green-blue siren girl.

They turn to look

" ...fine. What do you want? "

One-Eye sneered at him, then turned to Claire. "Just wanted to let you know, princess--" he emphasized the word with a toothy leer "--that theres a bunch of Iron faeries sniffing around the city looking for you. One of them is offering a reward for any information concerning your whereabouts. So Id be really careful if I were you." One-Eye pulled off his bandana and gave me a ridiculous, mocking bow. "Just thought youd want to know."

Admittedly, the siren child is pretty cute. She's speaking to Cammie.

They all look at her

(who tf is claire xD)

" Why are you telling me this? "
