Fresh air. The smell of pine, citrus and fresh leaves just consumes my every cell forcing my lungs to expand and inhale the glorious scents.
It’s refreshing, too bad I can’t enjoy it as I frantically look around searching the garden around me. I quickly whipped my head to both sides looking to see if those big burly men that wear all black with the guns strapped to their shoulders saw me scurry from the trellis near the balcony that connected to the luxurious room I was held up in.

Crap.
“ALPORA!” Kai calls out.
They had their arms crossed watching me in silence. Even though I was on the far side of the garden and the darkness of the sky blocked out their stem gazes, I could still make out the challenge in their features. They are daring me to
