"What?" Kiara said shocked at what Mikayla had just said.
"I'm helping you escape." Mikayla repeated. Kiara felt happy that someone actually wanted to help her.
"How?" Kiara asked, not letting her happiness get the best of her. She didn't want to be happy, then have something drain it.
"That's why I was up here. I was looking for Cecil." Mikayla said honestly.
"What? No no, you can't tell Cecil!" Kiara pleaded Mikayla.
"No, you don't understand. It was Cecil who came up with the plan, I'm just following it. You gotta find Cecil." She whispered to Kiara, she didn't want the wrong person to over hear this conversation. "No one can see me with my eyes like this." Mikayla added, hoping that was a good enough excuse for Kiara.
"But-" Kiara started.
"Just go and find him." Mikayla urged Kiara.
"Why is he helping me?" Kiara asked still suspicious of Cecil and if she should listen to Mikayla.
Why does it have to be Cecil? why does he have to be involved? The same question ran through Kiara's mind over and over again, that it was starting to create a headache.
Without answering Kiara's question, Mikayla pushed Kiara back down the stairs, motioning her to go and find Cecil. Then she was gone like she hadn't even been there in the first place.
"Urg.." Kiara signed as she realized Mikayla was gone. As she stumped stubbornly back to the dance floor, her eyes wander the crowd till something caught her eye.
When she took a second glance, a gasp escaped her lips.
Leo. Her mind hummed in joy.
His figured smiled back as she smiled and started to walk towards him, but then he vanished. Literally.
"No, no, no! this can't be happening!" she screamed out in frustration -- she was lucky the music was loud enough to cover her anger.
She was close to crying, that when he reappeared in a different spot her heart burst. This time he was farther away, like he wanted her to follow. Where was helping to take her? Kiara frowned, but followed him anyway, wanting to be with him, hear his voice, see his golden eyes. She missed him.
He guided her through the crowd of all Thorns guest, until she was taken out of the crowd and I to a hallway. When she turned a corner, Leo's figure had it's back to her.
"Leo!" Kiara said happily, and started to run towards him.
"No," he said which caused Kiara to stop running.
"What?" she asked, almost feeling her heart break into two pieces. How could this be happening? Why now?
"I'm Leo yes, but I'm not him." He said, shattering her heart more because he wasn't the real Leo.
"But .... How can I see you?" she asked trying to hold back tears.
"Because we can see as one. The closer I came to you, the closer we became."
"What are you talking about?" Kiara's voice shook.
"The markings. The two lion eyes? I asked one of my elders, they said the bond between a King and his Queen could never be broken when they became close. That's why the second eye grew -- it happened to me too. Don't you get it? that second eye was allowing us to look through yours eyes. That's how come I could talk to you in your mind and you could answer." Leo said cupping Kiara's face.
"But how come I can see you." Kiara asked, she knew she was going crazy, but she needed to make sure.
"Because you believe in me." Leo said before he started to disappear.
"No! Don't leave me!" She screamed reaching out for him, as his hands left her face. She never wanted him to go, she wanted to feel the warmth he brought to her, happiness and love.
"I need your help!" she whispered as his figure just left her, stranded in the empty hallway. She could feel her knees weaken as she gave up in standing. Kiara collapsed to the ground, she thought this was her night. The night she would be able to be happy, proud, peaceful, instead she ended up furious, frustrated, and worried.
She stayed on the hallway floor until a familiar voice came from a room two doors down.
"Why would you tell her?" Cecil asked someone in a nicer tone than what Kiara had heard.
"I," the person started then signed and took a deep breath, "I told her because she saw my eyes. Plus she was already upset ... I just felt like I had to."
Mikayla.
Kiara stood up and walked a few feet towards them, when a mirror stopped her. She glanced at her self, on how she was so happy and now she look like the dead it's self.
Get a hold of yourself, quit letting everybody do things and risk their lives for you, do something.
She told her self as she straightened her back fix some of her makeup and then she let out a calm breath. She felt like she had before. Confident.
As she got closer to the door, she could still hear them talking.
"... Look, Mikayla, all I need you to do is inform my brother. He'll know what do to and he'll help." Cecil said reassuring to Mikayla, before Kiara could hear him gulp and mumble "I hope." but Mikayla never heard that.
Cecil had started to say something until Kiara bumped her hip on the wall, due to her high heels -- which were starting to hurt.
"Crap." Kiara whispered as she heard them go silent.
Just before she could open the door, Cecil stepped out all casual, before he pinned Kiara to the wall.
"How much did --" Cecil stopped as he realized who he was holding.
With Kiara rubbing her neck where Cecil had held her, glanced up at Cecil with a deathly stare.
"What the hell?" she asked him, still with staring at him.
"I didn't know it was you, it would have been nice if you, hmm..." Cecil said pretending to be deep in thought, "said your damn name!"
"Fine. Mikayla wanted me to find you and I have. What are you doing making an escape plan for me?" Kiara asked him, getting straight to the point.
"Me and her plan on getting you out of here." Cecil kept it simple. He knew what Kiara was like.
"How so?" she pushed.
"I'm not telling you out here." Cecil said as he guided her back into the room he was in before.
When they passed into the room, Cecil was sure to lock the door right after them. As Kiara looked around in the room, she was able to make out a passage where Mikayla awaited them with a torch in her hand.
"You coming?" she asked with a little smirk growing.
Kiara just stood where she was before Cecil placed a hand on her back.
"After you," he said with a matching smirk as Mikaylas.
Each one of them stepped into the passage before Cecil pulled a lever which shut the place up, letting them discuss their plan.
