I froze for a moment when I heard the voice asking who was there. That was until it repeated and I noticed it came from the inside.
"Mark? Is that you?" The voice asked once more. It was a male voice, "Please tell me it is you"
I looked at Violet and we both looked confused. If they were the slaves, they would not ask who would be outside, they would know it was a guard.
Violet returned my look with the same level of confusion, with her ears perked towards the door. She might be trying to figure out sounds from the inside. Then, she placed her nose under the door and started to sniff through the crevice.
"Vulpins," she said, raising her face, "There are vulpins inside"
"Hey, who is inside? I am not a guard," I immediately said.
"Who are you?" The voice seemed to have become more alarmed, "You are the one that sent the letter this morning?"
