On December first, Gem was woken early and roughly by guards. Long before the first roll call. His name, today and for the next three weeks, minimum, would have a tick next to it. He would be in London. At his trial.
He couldn’t even appreciate the sunrise, locked in the back of the armored van. As if he was somehow going to break his chains and escape. As if he had the energy to.
No, instead, he lost track of the hours, staring at a blank wall, imagining all the people who’d come before him, sitting in this van, wondering about their fate. Most saw the back of this same van a few weeks later, carting them back to Abracadabra. He’d looked up the statistics of the amount of Magicks that got acquitted of violent crimes several years ago—
Suffice to say the odds were very much against him.
Gem had known that his entire life.
