Chapter 43 CHAPTER 43
Kyla’s POV

“Where are you taking her?” I asked, stepping out of the room, Lily and I had been cleaning. My grip tightened around the mop. I heard voices outside and I came out to see Daciana pulling Lily down the hallway. 

“You wretch–” Daciana cussed. I bit my bottom lip as I narrowed my eyes at her, arching my brows. She better not play with me. I wouldn’t let her hurt Lily, not in her dreams.

“Let her go.” 

“Make me.” that was it, she turned and started pulling Lily away. Lily faced me, in pain as Daciana’s grip around her hand tightened. She had pleas in her eyes. But it was not a plea for help, it was a plea that I should leave, she was scared that I was going to get into trouble. 

But, I couldn’t leave her like that. I had to do something about it. Now. 

I took a step forward and I paused. There was no way that I could stop Daciana on my own. Whom do I talk to? Ryker? Luna or– My thoughts process paused as I gulped. “Kendrick.” I gulped, as my fist tightened. 

My eyes glanced through the hallway, Kendrick’s room was up ahead. I turned to Daciana and Lily. They had almost gone all the way out of the halls. “She was taking her to the Dungeon.” I heaved a sigh. “Lily deserved better. I have to save her.” 

I rushed forward without thinking towards Kendrick’s room. My bent knuckles paused just above his door. With a deep breath, I knocked. 

“Who’s there?” he asked. His deep voice sent shivers down my spine. I pressed my eyes shut, keeping mute. Why was his voice doing that to me? 

What was wrong with me? I hadn’t felt that way about someone’s voice before. Or was it? No– I couldn’t get attached to him. I need to leave soon, but I would have to save Lily first from Daciana, and get a promise that she would be saved.

Or an oath. 

I swallowed hard and knocked again. 

“Who’s there?” He asked again and I still remained mute. I had no courage to say that it was me. Would he open up for me? I don’t know but–

I knocked again. He grunted from inside, stumping towards the door. “Are you deaf–” he paused when his eyes met mine. He blinked and then locked eyes with me. “You?” 

I nodded, the muscle on my neck tightening. “Yes, I need your help.”

His lips shifted for a smile, and his eyes lit up. “Anything, Kyla. I–” he paused and licked his lips. “Come in.” I stepped in slowly, my hands behind my back. “So tell me.” 

“Lily is in trouble.” I said pressing my back against the wall. “Daciana is punishing her because of me.”

Kendrick furrowed his brows and stepped closer to me. I pressed my back against the wall. “What did Daciana do?” 

“She arrested Lily and is going to  lock her up in the dungeon.

“What?!!” Kendrick growled. “HOW DARE HER?”
