I wrote something!
This is mostly original work from my brain, although my lungs helped.
She’d been in and out of prison for too long and too many times, so that she’d gained an almost sixth sense, could feel the glare of cameras and hear the static of recorder, or so she claimed. Said she’d had nothing else to do in those cold white boxes except stare at the wall of cameras watching them watching her.
She escaped, obviously.
Said she had the help of a group of data miners, go by the name “the 7”. The 7 hacked into the prison-moon’s mainframe, didn’t exactly tell her how, but whatever they did must have worked. Turned the cameras black and the doors to open. The problem with automated security is no matter how many firewalls and failsafes you put up, an experienced and expensive group like The 7 only need to huff and puff to blow it all down.
She never exactly said what it cost her.
Some think she used to be a princess of the Charming crime family- charming only in name, brutal in nature. Some say her stepmother wanted her dead- hired a bounty hunter who hasn’t been seen since. Others say she betrayed the Sisters and we all know what happens to people who are dumb enough to do that. Whatever they say, they always forget to mention that she's lost her fortune and is now stuck, slumming it with the rest of us down here in the core... or at least she was, before King Cole took an interest.
The withered crime lord wanted to see if she really had the powers she claimed to possess. Got one, or should I say, three of his pigs to pick her up while she was in a drunken stupor outside Rumpelstiltskin's. That’s the roughest bar in the roughest part of the city; turns its barley to gold with marked up prices only the really desperate are willing to pay.
When she awoke on the floor of the warehouse Cole calls his castle, she was offered a bet: if she could find the recording device, he’d let her go, offer a job and the like. If it turned out she was lying, she’d be shot, simple as. She agreed. It wasn’t a hard toss-up between get shot or possibly not get shot, apparently.
The King hid a micro recorder in her room and waited.
