Being here reminded me of Aiden and Kallum. No one should be locked up here…. Not if they didn't deserve it. But Lila deserved it. I walked through the narrow corridor, the sound of my footsteps echoing and the effect of my presence causing the lit torches on the wall to flicker. I kept walking until I reached the last cell. The cell was dark and large but from where I stood I could see the faint outline of a figure sitting on the end of the cell, her auburn hair falling to her knees. I squinted my eyes and realized she was already staring at me which made my heart jump since after that came a faint smirk. “Guess I must be day dreaming." Lila's voice was husky as she rose up from where she sat. For someone who had been in this cell for quit
Ayla’s POVI had the guards move Aegon to the separate room I had arranged for him and his sister. I couldn't bear to keep him in the same place a spirit might have been tormenting him. I sat on the edge of his bed, he had stopped shivering and had finally fallen asleep but with a high fever. I sighed, glancing at Elia as she looked almost peaceful while she slept. My eyes were tired but I couldn't bring myself to close them, my heart rate just steadied the more I watched my kids breathe calmly. But even with that, I was far from calm. I still had the fear that they might start acting up any second from now. I reached for his hand this time, I didn't flinch back as I took the soft flesh in mind. “Oh what I'd give back to see you smiling at me again." I brought my hand to his hair and stroked lightly. “To not have you lying here like some corpse." I swallowed back tears before leaning over to plant a kiss on his forehead. "Come back to me, baby."Hoping that could have some mo
Third person's POVIvy had concluded on what exactly she had to do. Find out what power exactly was in the library and try to dissect it. The old library was located in the deepest part of the castle and she was escorted by some maids that whispered about how they had never been here before. The castles had three floors, where the top floors were for the royals and the second were the dinings and the courtrooms and every other room. The last floor, on the east wing was where the library was found, large wooden doors sitting on the end of the wing. The air pressed against ivy's skin after the door opened but then she stopped just beyond the hidden entrance and slowly looked around. The library was dark but rays of light seeping from the curtains draped down, perfect place for kids to hide and seek, Ivy thought. Dust covered everything, she guessed even before the kids started to come here, this place had been abandoned for quite some time. Her eyes skimmed the shelf and there w
Ayla’s POV“You can't do that." We all turned towards the door and Elia stood there, her little body wrapped in her nightdress, her dark hair messy from sleep but she looked everything but pale. I looked down at her barefoot and at her hand gripping the edge of the door as she stared back at us. I didn't know what exactly was going on. One minute my daughter was laying on the bed almost lifeless and now she was standing right here. I dragged my feet closer. "Elia? Are you okay?”She nodded but then turned to Ivy. “Going there won't help." I stared back at ivy and then at my daughter. " Elia?” I came closer towards her, like any careless step and she might just slump to the ground. The moment I reached her, I dropped to my knees and pulled her into my arms. “Oh, my baby.” holding her tightly, pressing my palm against her forehead. Her temperature was normal and the fever was gone. Just like that?Something was definitely wrong but still, my heart broke from relief. "Hey,” car
Ayla's POVI let the words of the maid sink in, and my knees immediately weakened, but not weakened enough for me not to brush past each and every one of them and made my way down the corridor. And all I could hear pounding in my ears was the frightened voice of the maid and her exact last statement. Oh goddess. Please..My heart hammered against my rib cage as I reached the children's playroom where he was. My little egg was laying beneath the blankets, his tiny body trembling violently and he continued to whisper something.Like he was chanting. My hand flies over my mouth. His face was flushed and beads of sweat trailed all over his body, from his forehead down to his. Killian appeared in the room a minute after, his breathing ragged. I dragged my legs towards him. “Find the guest wherever she may be and bring her, now." Killian ordered immediately. Lowering myself beside the bed there, he didn't stop shaking nor did he stop muttering inaudible words.Like the visual ima
Ayla's povThe second she opened the door to me, I saw the startled expression on her face and the way colour had drained from it. Then she said something about a revelation spell before walking away from me. I peeped into the room to find my daughter still laying in the bed, unmoved before turning to me heels after her. “What happened in there, Ivy?" I asked. “We should prepare for the spell." She said, I grabbed her arm. “Can you at least tell me what you saw.. or.. or felt or something?" She looked down at the hand I held and tried to wiggle herself free. "Ayla.. I'd very much appreciate it if you let this go for now and let me focus on what's important.” She flickered her fingers and I suddenly felt a force pulling back. “Ouch." I released her hand to nurse my wrist. She had just indirectly confirmed what I had been on about and yet somehow, I was still the one being treated like I was imagining things.“Great then." Throwing my hands in the air out of frustration as I wa
