a prisoner. Adanna Meyers, number thirteen. We can ’ t find her anywhere. ”
    With a snarl, Yuri whipped around and grabbed her shoulders again. Eden had to fight down a grin as she thought, They did it. They got Adanna out of here. As she gazed into Yuri ’ s eyes, though, she began to wonder whether they would make it in time to get her out of here.
    â€œ What did you do? ” Yuri asked.
    â€œ Me? ” Eden asked. “ I was in here the whole time. I didn ’ t do it. Maybe you need to count prisoners again, Yuri. ”
    â€œ You— ” Yuri pointed his finger at Eden and his eyes shot daggers. “ You infuriate me. I ’ ll get to the bottom of this. I swear it. ”
    Turning , Yuri stormed to the door, opened it, and shut it behind him . As she settled back down to wait, she could hear Yuri yelling for a long time afterward.

Chapter Six

    Several hours later, Eden heard the sound of her door jiggling again. She stood up for what felt like the thousandth time that day and gazed at the door expectantly. Sergeant Dale came inside, looked over his shoulder, and then shut the door behind him.
    â€œ You okay? ” Sergeant Dale asked. “ I heard General Yuri came out of here riled up. ”
    â€œ He didn ’ t like that Adanna had gone missing, ” Eden said. “ Thought maybe it had something to do with me. ”
    â€œ Why on earth would he think it had something to do with you ? ” Sergeant Dale asked sarcastically. “ Poor General. After you disappear, this is going to be the makings of a bad day for him. ”
    â€œ Mmm, ” Eden said, and she couldn ’ t help but feel bad for him .
    But she knew she wouldn ’ t go far from him . She wasn ’ t sure how, but once she was free of this prison, she was going to get Yuri to come with her back to Horace, the Angel continent. As for the other two souls, she wasn ’ t even sure whe re to begin looking for them. But I ’ m more than halfway now, she reminded herself, frowning.
    â€œ Change into these, ” Sergeant Dale said, tossing her black pieces of clothes which smacked her straight in her face and knocked her from her thoughts .
    She gaze d down and saw the Demon outfit : a pair of black pants , a button up black shirt with golden buttons with an insignia of two swords crossed over open flames on the breast, and a black hat with a large visor. The better to hide my eyes, she realized. She kne w her different colored eyes and her long, golden hair would be a big giveaway. She didn ’ t exactly look like the average Mary.
    â€œ Do souls change the normal way? ” she asked. “ I find it hard to imagine a soul can switch clothes . ”
    â€œ It ’ s a matter of perspective, ” Sergeant Dale said. “ You believe you can change, so you can. I ’ ve seen people alter their entire soul ’ s appearance easily because they got rid of the belief they couldn ’ t. ”
    â€œ Really? ” Eden said, running her hand through a strand of her golden hair. She loved her hair, but if it increased her chances of getting caught…
    â€œ Yes, ” Sergeant Dale said. “ Now hurry up. I ’ m getting nervous. I doubt General Yuri is going to stay away from you for long. ”
    â€œ Turn around, ” Eden said. Dead or not, she still didn ’ t want Sergeant Dale looking at her naked.
    Nodding, Sergeant Dale whirled around and faced the door. Eden seized her T -shirt, pulled it over her head, and then tossed it to the floor. Surprisingly, it didn ’ t sit on the floor like a normal shirt would have. It disintegrated as if it had never been there. Eden, gasping, tugged on the black shirt and buttoned up the golden buttons. She then pulled off her tight denim pants and pulled on the black ones. They bagged around her. She pulled the hat over her head and moved the visor so it dropped low over her eyes.
