Detention, Depths of the Castle, Thursday

[cracking-wonder.livejournal.com]

Another beautiful day had begun in Fandom, not that anyone in detention would have noticed. The lack of sunlight, the pleasant sound of Umbridge's voice, and the slightly stale smell of breakfast were all important aspects to making every day in detention routine! Surely everyone knew that surprises were no fun.

Look, the week was half over already and no one had been taken out and killed so far. That had to count for something, right?

"No," Karla said, sounding reluctant. "Neither is Peter, though he's going to 'assure the safety of the refugees' by seeing them through the nexus. And then hightail it home like his ass is on fire, most likely."

She snorted and rolled her eyes.

"Ender's staying. So's Ace, the girl who likes to blow things up. A handful of others." Karla snorted again. "So was I, if you could believe it. Fortunately, Cara helped me...see the light, as it were."

Cara. Jack's eyes sparked with hope at the name.

She'd always been close to the edge, so deep into her cover that even Jack sometimes wondered what her true loyalties were. But if she was still a rebel at heart, then maybe ...

Maybe Jack just liked making up fairy tales.

"Then I'll put my trust in the ones who are staying," he decided instead. "Let the rest of them portal off and enjoy it, it's not as if they're helping us anyhow."

Karla shrugged. "You do that," she said. "And maybe they can pull something together before Lady Umbridge decides to lock you in a cage lined with silver. With a few friends, of course. You'll need company and I'm fairly sure she intends to make sure the beast is hungry."
