Laya quickly took off her clothes and washed her face. She took on one of Hadeon's shirts, so if anyone would come they wouldn't have realized that she was the killer.

"Laya!" Hadeon screamed from the door.

"Yes." Laya answered.

Hadeon runned to her and took her around her shoulders.

"What are you talking about? Who knows?" Laya hissed.

"The prince! He saw when I dragged you back here when you almost got killed." Hadeon's eyes were filled with panic. "Laya, he knows who you are, and he knows that I am helping you."

"Bu-but maybe he didn't see my face, wasn't my hood on when you helped me here?"

"You did not have a hood on, he saw you! He said that if both of us don't leave the castle until tomorrow he will tell the king!"
