Dawn Of The Shadows - Part 1

Chapter 16

Luna stared at the high ceiling, her mind could not escape the voices, All the events of the day before ran through her mind

I promised to protect her...

She couldn't get much sleep last night, none of them did. The gang was mummering, already trying to come up with a plan to escape this tower, but from the sight of their faces she could tell that every scenario led them to a dead end. Lilly stood close to Luna, her newfound friends intrigued her. Her mind was filled with a lot of questions. She wanted to ask Luna about how they met, why are they here? and if they were a part of the royal knights she hadn't met, but seeing how Helene still hadn't woken she decided to keep those questions later.

Luna stared at Helene, it pained her to see her like this. Misery struck her like never before. And as her eyes started to water again she let out a sniff trying not to cry again.

"Lulu you know I'm not that easy to get rid of right? "

Luna quickly looked back at her cousin, who had a cheeky smile plastered all over her face.

"I had a good nap, guess I'll be the only one with no eye bags" she said with a smug face, putting her hands behind her head.

"You little..Do you know how worried I was here?!" Luna lightly punched Helene's shoulder making sure not to hurt her as she was still recovering.

"Okay, okay... Breathe in, breathe out, Lulu," Helene said, slowly getting up while wincing from the lingering pain in her body.

"Hells!!" was all Helene heard before she was knocked to the ground again by an excited Lily. "Hey, kiddo! Are you trying to send me to Emris? I just got back from the... dead. Ca-n't bre-athe... Lily-" Helene gasped, struggling to rise with what little energy she had left.

"Lily get up!" Luna grabbed Lily by her shoulders chuckling at the scene unveiling infront of her.

"Sorry! I was just excited to see you" Lily's eyes were covered with a thin layer of water as she apologized.

"It's okay lily..." Helene went and hugged Lily, patting her back reassuringly.

Without any warning the doors to the tower swung open, Mylo and Corvina walked with two other knights.

The knights each were holding a tray presumably to bring them breakfast.

"Ah They feed their prisoners, how kind..." Damien exclaimed with a fake smile across his face. "What are YOU doing here?" Luna said, clenching her teeth whilst glaring at Mylo. He furrowed his eyebrows, he wanted to protest but ultimately decided not to.

I won't... At least she's okay.. I hope she knows, it was a mistake..

He gave one sympathetic look at her, Helene not knowing how to react quickly looked away.

"Glad to see you survived the attack, Mylo" Logan broke in between the trio trying to ease the tension. He extended his hand, "Do I know you? What attack- I think you have me confused with someone" Mylo said shaking his head, "Is that THE Mylo" Lily whispered in her not so secretive way to Helene.

"Nope this is different Mylo, as long as I'm concerned Lils " She said with a weak hearted smile.

For a brief moment they held eye contact. Memories in the back of his head tried fighting it's way.

Arghhh, it's like my mind is clawing the inside of my head, Every Time she's near me this happens...

Mylo groaned out loud holding his head with his hand. "Mylo, Are you okay?" Corvina asked in a reaffirming tone, placing her hand on his shoulder.
