Scratch that, we're doomed!!!

Blowing up the lock didn't work at all! I mean seriously, what's the point of having magical powers if I can't use them! Anyway there's an update on the whole footsteps/whispers/insanity thing.

  The footsteps were getting louder. I couldn't see the person they belonged to, until he knelt down in front of my cell and started picking the lock. Wait, a guy? Well whatever, at least someone was helping me escape. I could barely make out his features in the dim torchlight. Something about them nagged at my memory, though...
  "Sam? But- but what are you doing here?" I whispered.
  "Helping you escape of course."
  Just then the door swung open. I took his hand and started running. At least I bothered to explore the dungeons the first time I was here! We were so close to the exit, when I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. Everything went black.
  Before I knew it I was back in my old cell with the addition of Sam. What happened back there?
  I sighed "Okay, so either a) you're a hallucination, b) you're an actor that they hired to trick me, or c) you're somehow the real Sam. For now I don't really care which one of those you are, just start talking."
  "And, why should I do this?" he asked.
  "Well, for one thing if you don't you're probably gonna get really bored, and for another it might be the only thing keeping me sane," I joked. "Though, if you are a hallucination I'm obviously not sane anymore."
  I was rewarded with a light laugh from him. "So, anyway how did you get here? Last I heard, you were dead." he started
  "It's a long story," I replied. "It took me a month to get through it, when I was telling it to other people. The short version is, I spread a rumor that I died, and I left the country- well the whole world actually- and set off on more adventures. 'Cause when it really comes down to it, I was not made to be a princess. But anyway, I thought you were dead!"
  "Well actually I joined a group called the GDK*," My face paled. "You've heard of them before?"
  "Um, I joined the Mystique so..."
  "We're enemies now?"
  I thought for a moment."First, let's get out of here. Then maybe we can talk it over or something." I nudged him playfully. "Besides I have a whole lot of catching up to do with you."

  We pretty much just talked for the rest of the day. When he fell asleep, I pulled this laptop out and started writing before I forgot a single detail. Just looking at him makes me so tired. Oh well, the guard did say I'd need my beauty sleep for tomorrow.

*Here, Sam said the group's actual name but since I can't tell anyone...
