When Kiara entered her chamber, she quickly unzipped her dress and let it fall softly to the ground, not caring what Mikayla saw. Kiara wanted to leave and as soon as possible.

As Mikayla pulled out some clothes from the closet, she made sure they were a comfortable pair, something her queen could run in. As she turned around to her queen, Mikayla could sense all sort of emotions coming from Kiara, but three stuck out more than the other as the were placed on Kiara's face. Fear, worry, and determination are what Kiara felt.

"Are you sure you still want to do this?" Mikayla asked starting to be worried herself if she got caught or if Kiara got caught what the outcome would be. She signed as she continued to pull out more clothes and supplies for Kiara's journey.

"I want to be rid of this place. It's sickening to know at one point Leo lived here, to know blood was spilt here, to know I would have to mate that man!" Kiara shouted as she pointed to the door.

Immediately Mikayla ran up to Kiara and closed Kiara's mouth.

"What the hell are you thinking?!" Mikyala practically shouted herself.

Kiara, suddenly realizing apologized and quickly hurried into her clothes for her escape.

As she returned to Mikayla, she was wearing dark blue jeans and a dark greenish button up shirt. Mikyala couldn't help but laugh at Kiara since she looked like she was going on a hike in the safari.

"What? It's not that funny." Kiara said clearly annoyed as she caught on to what Mikayla was laughing about.

As Mikayla tried to breath she laughed even more at Kiara's glare, "Sorry --- hooo ... hooo ... ok, ok. I'm done." Mikayla giggled as she was packing Kiara's supplies in a backpack.

When they were done with Kiara's things, they made their way quietly through the grand hallways, not wanting to be caught.

In a way it felt to good to be true, to easy for Kiara. She felt like someone knew what they were up too and was probably watching them or telling King Thorn by now. She just felt awkward and scared.

As they hurried their pace to the secret passage they were in before, someone stopped them before they could leave.

"You guys suck at sneaking around. Like I'm not joking. You guys suck."

The voice was familiar but then the chuckle gave it away. Cecil.

"You scared us to death!" Kiara hissed at him while he continued to laugh as he took the lead through the passage.

"Jerk..." Kiara heard Mikayla grumble. Kiara couldn't help but smile with a little giggle.

As the group hurried down the narrow passage way again, Kiara swore she felt someone was watching her, she could feel the hairs on her neck stand up and shivers crawl down her back. When she quickly turned and looked over her shoulder, all she could see was Cecil as he started to close the door quietly. With a few sharp breaths of uncertainty, Kiara knew she had to continue this mission or she would be permanently stuck in this castle that belonged to her true mate and king and she would never be free.

When they finally reached the main room, Cecil quickly retold their plan to make sure everyone understood.

"Kiara, you gotta trust us that we are here to help not to hurt or kill you. Ok?" he breathed. Kiara could tell he knew she never really truly trusted him but she knew he wouldn't let her die.
