***ALEX'S POV***
I was heading to meet Jake again. He would be waiting for me at the same place that he had been the night before. And hopefully, he had gone to the apothecary and knew where to find those people.
"Why do you need to see him again tonight?" Alina asked me as we walked down the long driveway toward the gate.
"Jake went to get information about the people that did this to me. He might know where to find them. If he does, then we can make those people take the curse off of me. And then, I won't have to be up all night anymore." I was trying to get her to understand what was going on.
"Fine. But I think that I should hear this information. If you are going to make a plan, then I need to know it. I have to make sure that you are safe, Princess."
"I will tell you all of it, Alina. I promise." I heard her sigh at my response. She was a good friend, and a devoted servant. I was lucky to have her.
