Don't Runaway [Book 2]

Chapter 29

"I swear the next time I pass out I'm going to kill a bitch," I said rubbing my head. How many times am I going to have to risk my life? How many times am I going think 'this is the end'?

"I see your well," I heard a familiar voice.

"Yea well, I almost died," I stated as I sat up. "How did you know?" I asked as moved my shoulder around. I didn't feel any pain like I did before. Maybe that flower really did work.

"About," she asked poking her stick into her little fire.

"My plan." I stretched my arms in the air, wow I fell stiff. How long was I out for?

She glared at me and then back to the fire. "I didn't. I just heard your name and I did it without thinking."

"You mean you were just going to let me fall." Dropping my arms down, I looked at her dumbfounded.

"Yes," she said extending her wings.

"What changed your mind?" narrowing my eye at her I was unsure if I could trust her.

"If I wanted to kill you I would have. But something is stopping from doing so."

Leaning back a little I gazed out into the ocean behind her. Who knew there was a cave under this cliff? The moon was up high and the stars were beautiful. I never seen a night sky like this. It was like looking at the whole galaxy without a scope. "What happened?"

"Everyone is in the hands of my father," she said making it short and easy.

"Then, Dawn was taken?"

"Yes."

I stood up, "take me up. I have to save them."

"You're in no shape to do so," she glared at me as she tossed her stick in the fire. She extended her wings as she got up on her feet.

"Are you going to fight me on this?" I asked lifting my head up to show dominates. She just looked as me. With no emotions on her face I couldn't read her.

"No," extended her wings once more.

"What do you think you're doing?" I yelled at the top of my lungs, when she dropped me in front of a castle in the woods.

"Olivia," someone called from behind us in the woods.

"Helena," Olivia said back bring her wings to her side. Helena glanced towards me and then back to her sister. "Father was worried about you. What happened?"

"I saved the child of Marcus. I thought father would want her alive."

"Marcus," Helena whispered, "I see. Come, we will report this to Melantha."

"Why not report it to Crevan," I yelled from behind Olivia.

Helena narrowed her eyes towards me, "Father is resting".

"Meaning his weak as shit. His dyeing right?"

"How do you know that?" she asked giving me a looks that could kill.

"She can see visions, from touching people," Olivia said turning away from Helena. Olivia took my arm and squeezed.

"Ow!" I yelled pulling back. She clearly wasn't going to make this easy for me.

"Take me to Melantha, sister. This human has been nothing but trouble for me," she lied. I knew Olivia was playing but she didn't have to be so... forceful. Olivia guided me into the castle as Helena followed.
