Amara's pov

"I am going to drop you, hard." Orian whispered, "When I do, roll dramatically like you are hurt and reach into my boots. Pull out a knife and go to the castle, through the back entrance. Don't look back and if anyone should accost you, kill them."

He didn't give me time to absorb his instructions. I was released and I landed on the grass with a thud. I did as he requested, as fast as I could. I got it out, jumped to my feet, and grabbed puppy Orian before making my way toward the castle.

It was going to be hard not looking back. What if they try to harm him? Who would protect him? They saw us together and they were not happy with it. They might try to kill him because it looks like he broke the blood oath and- Gosh! I couldn't stop overthinking and I fought the urge to look bad as well as I could.

I went in through the back entrance and considered going around to enter the castle properly. But then, I didn't know my way around here well, and if they came with their warriors who might attack me? They would be staged in places as strategic as that.

I would have to go in just like I escaped this morning, scaling the walls.

I looked up, seeing the tall dark walls. They looked bigger than they were earlier today and my room happened to be high up. That wasn't exactly how I viewed it this morning, it's easier climbing down than up and now I had to do it with utmost care.

I found a way to bound puppy Orian to me, extracted my claws, dug them into the walls, and began to climb.

I used the random balcony rails for support as I ascended and the protruded blocks. My arms ached and puppy Orian was getting stressed but with Cora's extra strength I was able to climb as far as I needed to and finally I got to my balcony dropping myself on it.

I slid down the railing with a sigh, breathing heavily due to the feat I had just accomplished. I was glad I took all lessons in training seriously. If I hadn't, how would I have known how to do this?

Puppy Orian ran in excitedly and I followed. I put her to sleep and made sure she was comfy for the night before I got about my business.

I changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top and I sat down on the bed with the knife in my hand, waiting patiently, determined not to disobey him.

While I sat there, something at the dressing table caught my attention and I got up making my way to it.

I looked at the small box that was similar to the same one Orian had gotten out today while we were out. It was placed next to a new phone was identical to my old one. I picked up the phone first and powered it. I went through it and it was ridiculous of me to expect my parent's numbers in it. It had only his line saved. I dropped it and shifted my attention to the box.

I picked it up and opened it to reveal a smaller version of the diamond choker he had gifted me, it was an anklet.

I have never been big on ankles. Bracelets and necklaces were my thing but his gifting me an anklet meant a lot.

I picked it up excitedly, placed my foot on the stool, and locked it around my ankle. It glimmered in the light, sitting elegantly against my skin, it was perfect.

I had taken off the choker for safe keeping but the anklet, I shall keep on. It was smaller and easier to move around with be it on a special occasion or not. But the choker will be used for special occasions or when I go out of the castle.
