Chapter 8- Getting to know you

____Kyra's Pov_____

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

I turned around in bed yet again, trying to find a comfortable position so I could fall asleep. It was eleven in the evening and I was still up. All I could think about was Lisa. It was useless and quite obvious that I would be getting no sleep tonight. I removed the thick and comfortable sheets from me and got out of bed.

After pacing up and down my room, an idea struck in my head. A devious smile came upon my face and I snuck out of my room as quietly as I could.

I believe that my room was located on the third floor of the castle and I immediately dashed to the fifth floor. That's where I was when Dr. Amara begged me to get away from the door. She must be hiding something or someone in there.

I was out of breath after running up approximately about two hundred flights of stairs. The castle was quite huge and so it took me a while to find the room I believed Lisa was held captive in. It was really dark and I was a little scared roaming around a huge castle in the dark.

I walked all around the fifth floor but could not find the door I was looking for. It was as if it somehow disappeared into thin air, or maybe I was on the wrong floor.

It was now one in the morning and now I was convinced that I was lost. After being here for so long I still happened to get lost. Then again, I had not explored half of the castle as yet. It was useless. This place was way to big for me to ever find Lisa, at least not tonight. I would have to try again in the morning although it would be more risky as I could be easily caught.

As I turned around, I bumped into something hard and I lost my balance and began to stumble backwards.

Before I could make contact with the ground, I was caught by firm hands.

" Are you okay?" the person asked concerned.

"Raymond?" I asked stunned.

"Yes Kyra, it's me."

My blood ran cold and I froze in position. I was shocked to be face to face in the dark with my kidnapper. I don't know if I should be scared or relieved that he has not tried to hurt me. I hate him so much. He has destroyed my happiness but I need to act as if everything's fine. I need to remain strong and calm as possible.

"It's been a while since I've seen you. What are you doing up still?'' I asked, trying to hide any suspicion in my voice that I was up to no good.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing. I'm just heading to the kitchen to get a snack." he said.

"Oh! Well, I guess I'll join you if you don't mind." I said shyly.

I was really trying to get on his good side. He must never find out that I was trying to locate my best friend because he would probably kill her if he knew that I wanted to escape with her.

"Sure. No problem." he said happily.

"By the way, what floor are we on?" I asked sounding curious but desperate to know if I was anywhere close to finding Lisa.

"The fifth floor. " he responded.

The fifth floor! I was so close to finding Lisa and help her get out of this horrid place. I almost began to cry, but then I remembered I had to show no expression of fear on my face.

"What are you doing here? You couldn't sleep?" Raymond asked.

I took a shaky breath and responded to Raymond.
