to ask Baldy about it when she heard the door to the basement open. Turning towards the door, she stood beside Balduen while they watched the doctor, his assistant, Brak and another Relian they had not seen before come walking into the room.

 
    Chapter Four
    “I assume by your outburst that you have thought about my offer and have made your decision.” The doctor stood behind the wall of their cell with his hands behind his back, a slight smirk on his face that Dare wanted to punch, but she held her temper. Barely.
    “Yes. Now, can we please have a bathroom?” Baldy asked. Dare almost sighed in relief that he had.
    She watched as the doctor’s hand slipped into his left pocket, then immediately began to feel the drug seeping into her cells again.
    “Son of a bitch!” Dare uttered, glaring at the doctor with distaste and hatred before the drug relaxed her facial muscles.
    “I’m not dumb enough to trust you without the drug. Have no fear that I will go back on my word though. I will not harm you as long as you cooperate. Besides, it’s in everyone’s nature to fight that which they do not want to accept. It will take some time before you adapt.”
    Balduen wanted to rage and growl along with his beast, which seemed to be the only part of Balduen not affected by that damn drug. He hated the feeling of not only his strength, but his will, slipping from him, the lack of control of himself. The inability to rip them all apart and take Dare away from this danger and protect her.
    Dare stared at the sneering face of the only other female she’d seen so far and knew that she’d get no mercy or reprieve from that woman. If anything, she would be Dare’s biggest tormentor, no matter what the doctor promised.
    Dare had dealt with that particular kind of female before. In fact, most women on the planet probably encountered one just like her at some point in their lives. They were the ones who hated other women for every reason you could think of; they were prettier, skinnier, smarter, kinder... they were always cruel and enjoyed the misery and pain of others. More so, when they were the cause of it.
    It didn’t matter how much you tried to befriend them; they always stabbed you in the back. It would not surprise Dare, in the least, if the woman had willingly joined the Relian’s.
    This was the most dangerous person she’d encountered so far in this hell, and she was going to have to watch herself and Balduen carefully around her.
    She watched passively as the doctor turned to Brak, speaking harshly. “You do not touch her. Ever. You will kindly lead the Valendran out first, while Morat leads our impending mother upstairs. Is that understood?”
    “I’m warning you; this is a mistake!” Brak snarled back at the man in fury.
    “You were there when Grai agreed with me! Unless you would like to explain to him why you refuse to listen to my orders you will do what you are told! Now!”
    Oh that’s interesting;
Balduen thought. Why the hell, would the Relian leader’s son agree to not harming them? It wasn’t exactly in their nature to be kind; not even to each other. In fact, they were just as known for killing each other as much as everyone else, which most likely helped lead to their near extinction.  
    Balduen attempted to brace himself in front of Dare when Brak opened the door, but his body would just not cooperate with his mind. Turning to Dare he offered her a sad smile of apology for his uselessness.
    Dare looked at the grief on Baldy’s face and knew it must be killing him that he couldn’t protect her and get them out of here. It would be killing her father, who’d been raised with the same protective instincts as Baldy.
    Dare wished she could comfort him somehow and gave him the brightest grin she could muster while under the efforts of the drug. She watched with rage as Brak yanked roughly on Baldy’s arm and began dragging him out of the glass cell, followed by the doctor.
    “I’ll go in and get
