Chapter 128
*Surely that can wait a few days? I imagine the human district to be quite unsettled at the minute.” Monroe stated seeing the tension quickly increase for everyone around the table.
“All the more reason to get it over with, people will forget quicker this way.” If me and Adrian were going to be spending the day, alone with Dylan, then maybe I could sneak her some food from the table. I quickly grabbed an extra sausage from the pile and when no one was looking, and shoved it into my pocket. The poor girl was desperate for proper nutrition.
Upon leaving for the human district, the king placed a single kiss on Dylan’s head and whispered something about being good, and that he didn’t want to take anymore action, it caused her to flinch, but she didn’t recoil like she Normally would have.
Eventually we began to walk back to my old house, hers being next door made it more convenient. She trudged behind the two of us but never once did her head lift off from the floor. She stopped dead at the sight of my old house, the door was shut, and flowers upon flowers had been picked and thrown across the front lawn in respect. She started crying again instantly, and all I wanted to do was give her a big hug, but instead I directed her to her old house.
She entered it cautiously, her eyes lingered over a small scuff mark on the floor near the front door, it must have been made when the king first claimed her.
“Nick?!” Her voice was as quiet as a small breeze and I barley even heard it, however it was the first time she had spoken to me since her berating yesterday. I was being selfish with the wedding stuff, I should have known better than to try and distract her using something like that. “Can you, help me with my room!TM
“Sure lead the way.” I nodded to Adrian who nodded back and allowed us to ascend the stairs alone. She got slightly faster with every step until we made it into her room. It hadn’t changed in the slightest in the past 5 years. Nothing was different.
She ran over to her small desk and grabbed a notepad off it, I frowned following her and watched her open it and scribble some writing down.
“I don’t want him to hear us she wrote and tapped the page again. I need you to destroy something for me I frowned again but her face was already leaking water and her eyes were doing more than begging me, she made me feel as if it were life or death. I nodded my head and watched her walk over to the bed, she knelt down quickly and pulled her bedsheet up to uncover a clearly and very badly self sewn zip on the side. She opened it and placed her entire arm into the spring filled fabric. She fumbled around slightly, whispering the word please over and over again. Finally she stopped and pulled her arm out only to reveal her holding something small.
“If the king saw” she began to sob again before handing me the thing she’d hidden. It was well hidden actually. As soon as she began acting so sneaky I knew it was some form of contraband.
1 didn’t quite expect it to be what it was though.
Clear as day, and solid now in my hand was the one thing we needed to help Dylan, the one thing we needed and she had it in her possession the entire time. Why did she never tell me?
A silver Cell Phone!
