Chapter 3

2 weeks later.

I look at myself in the mirror and nod in approval, I am in a dark blue knee high dress with little specks of gold all over it, it is beautiful. I turn around and smile at Neena she did a wonderful job it looked just like my drawing.

"Thank you so much Neena, I love it"

"I'm glad, but you better go now you don't want to be late"

"Right"

I walk over to the door and take a deep breath then open it. I walk down the hall I am about to turn the corner when I walk into someone. I fell to the ground "ow" I hit my butt pretty hard, I look to see who I run into, Kile, of course, I run into Kile ( literally ) he looked at me and smile and I smile back, seeing him always puts a smile on my face.

"Thanks," I say taking his hand as he helps me up.

"No problem" He was still smiling

"Are you headed for your room," I ask, curiously

"Yeah I was getting so more sketching paper I ran out back in my new room"

"What are you drawing"

"You know buildings and different things"

"Can I see," I asked, He looks me up and down.

"You look like you have somewhere to be" I sigh remembering where I am off to.

"Yeah that reminders me I have to go I'm late"

"For what" I knew that he wasn't going to like it.

"I'm meeting Hale for dinner and-" My words are cut off by a sound I have never heard before except in drills, the siren that can only mean one thing, rebels. Kile grabs my hand and we run together to the royal safe room secret passageway, but before we could make it there, a guard came running around to corner, he sees us and starts yelling for us to get into the nearest safe room because the rebels were coming.

I pulled Kile with me to my room where I know there was an entrance to the safe room. I pulled a book on the bookshelf and it swings open. Kile and I ran inside before it closes and rushed down the stairs, when we get to the safe room door the guard let out a sigh.

"There you are your Highness the King and Queen are worry sick" I know why it had taken longer than it was supposed to, to get down here and this was the first rebel attack that I could remember going, though, I had been through a few as a kid, but I was only one or two then and didn't remember that. I rushed in to see dad pacing and mom close to tears, all the selected boy were down here by, and I noticed that I was still gripping Kile's hand.

"Eadlyn" mom and dad cried to gather, and if someone didn't notice me and Kile's entrance before they sure did now, and some of the boys were staring daggers at Kile because I was still holding his hand.

"I'm fine" I say trying to calm my parents who are looking me over with a frantic look in their eyes they are asking too many questions too fast and they are overlapping one another so fast that it gives me a headache and I put a hand to my head and groaned, big mistake, mom, and dad thought that I was hurt, and keep asking me what was wrong.

"My head, you guys are giving me a headache," I say feeling tired

"Honey are you sure your ok" Mom asks still looking me over.

"Yes I'm fine, but is everyone here, is anyone hurt," I ask, scanning the crowd

"Yes everyone is here you and Kile were the only one missing" Dad was eyeing Kile I wondered why.

"Speaking oh which, were where you two" That's why dad must think I was in Kiles's room.

"I was on my way downstairs when I ran into Kile we were talking when the alarm went off and we came down here to gather" Before they could answer I walk off with Kile (Still holding his hand) to the beds and I sat on one and he sat next to me.

"I better go talk to my parents I'll be back soon, ok"

"Yeah that's fine go, I'll be here" And with a kiss on the cheek he was gone I was tired so I laid down to get some sleep and was drifting off into sleep before I know what was happening.


Maxon's POV

"I was on my way downstairs when I ran into Kile we were talking when the alarm went off and we came down here to gather" And with that Eadlyn and Kile walked off hand in hand. It hurt to see, she wasn't my little girl anymore, she was a woman. I missed the little girl running around with her brother trailing her every step, but she wasn't a little girl she was a woman and a strong one at that, just like her mother.

I looked at America, who looked so happy at the sight of Eadlyn and Kile. I looked back at them just in time to see Kile kiss her on the cheek then leave to see his parents, Eadlyn watched her for a minute then laid down on the cot and was asleep in seconds.

"Well, what are we going to do while were down here," I ask as I look at America.

"Sleep," She said, she did look tired so I lead her over to a cot a she fell asleep as fast as Eadlyn did. I looked at my to girls and smiled to myself they were perfect, and how I loved them. I walked over to where Kaden and Osten were sitting, and I talked to them till we were allowed to return to our rooms, I said goodnight to my boys and walked over to get America.

I watched as Kile picked up a sleeping Eadlyn and carried her out the room I did the same for America, and she smiled as I lifted her up. I walked to our room and put her on the bed, she looked so peacefully I just wanted to cherish this moment it had been almost a month since her heart attack and she was doing well, but I couldn't shake the feeling that if I let she out of my sight that I wouldn't see her again, but, for now, she was safe and that is all I can ask for.


Eadlyn's POV

I wake up to the humming of Neena and the sun pouring through the window, I get out of bed stretch and walk to the bathroom. I take a shower and the head to the closet.

"Neena have you seen my gray dress, you know the wavy one" She laughs and comes over.

"I'm glad I reorganized your closet or I wouldn't be able to find anything in here"

"Well it has gotten messier over the past month"

"Here we are," she says bring me the dress.

I pull it on and do my hair I look at myself in mirror and smile, I love this dress, it is light gray and fitted to the hip's where it flares out in waves and my hair is done up in a beautiful bun.

"Thanks, Neena I'll see you later ok"

"Ok bye" And I left the room heading to dad's office, dad is in his seat hunched over some papers. He is so absorbed in his work he doesn't hear me come in. I look at him he looks so tired and stressed.

"Hi dad" He looks up and gives me a wake smile.

"Hello Eady"

"What are you working on"

"The attack"

"Does that mean we know who attacked yesterday"

"Well, it looks like the group that is attacking is an old group that was attacking during my selection they have rounded up rebels for all over the country and are now attacking the place, I'm afraid that the attack yesterday will not be the only one, there will be other attacks."

"Dad I was thinking that we need to have a drill for the selected, they will need to know how to get the safety."

"Yes I was thinking the same, we will do a drill, can you go find officer Leger"

"Yeah I'll be back"

I head out the door and down the stairs to find officer Leger, were I was going find him I had no idea. I walked around for a bit until I saw him and mom I the hall they were talking and laughing. I wondered what they were doing, I had never seen them talk like this. Whenever they did talk it was usually about the guards rounds or different things. I stepped closer to hear what they were saying.

"Aspen do you remember when you and Kota were up in the treehouse and you wouldn't let me up, so you keep me away by throwing mud, you guys got in so much trouble that you were forced to play with me for a week"

"Yeah your brother was steamed he hated playing with you, but the fact the we played with dolls didn't help" They were both laughing and I decided that now would be a go time to cut in

"Hi mom" They both looked up and smiled.

"Hey sweetie what are you doing down here I thought you were working with dad"

"I am, but dad needs officer Leger and he sent me to get him"

"Sounds like I'm needed, we will talk again soon good bye America, Eadlyn" And with that he was gone

"Well what does your father need from him," Mom asked

"We have found out that the attack last night won't be the only one there will be more, and we have decided that to keep everyone safe we should have a drill so the boys will know what to do, and were the entrants to the safe room are."

"That's a smart idea, it been a while since the last drill and it would do good to have one" Mom and I walk and talk some more until we got to dad's office he is alone, so we walked in and mom heads for her study and I went to my desk.

"So when is the drill"

"We will have it in a minute they are just getting everyone together" A knock sounded at the door and dad motioned for me to follow. He opened the door to see a guard with all the boys behind him. We are down to the elite now there are only four boys left, I smile at them and they all smiled back, but I turned my attention to dad and the guard.

"Yes Majesty they are all here"

"Where are my boys" Just then Kaden and Osten came out of the crowd and stood next to me I smile at them they knew what was happening.

"Right here you majesty," The guard says like we can't see them.

"Alright, Has the staff been informed"

"Yes sir the whole place knows and they are awaiting the alarm"

"Good, send all the selected back to their rooms and they are to wait of the alarm"

"Yes sir"

What happens in a drill is that the staff is told that it's a drill so no one panics and the guards aren't alerted and run out to save us for nothing. The boys all walk away to their rooms and I watch them go they all have a small piece of my heart and I would never forgive myself if one of them got hurt. There was no Henri, after the talk me and Erik had, I went the next day and told Henri that we couldn't work out. He was heart broken and I was too because I did like him, but there was no way we could work out. He had left the same day I said goodbye to him and had watched the car drive away. I hated seeing him go and almost ran out to stop him, but I didn't and I missed him so much, but now wasn't the time to get emotional it was done and he was back with his family in his bakery and I was here, end of story.

"Dad when are you going to sound the alarm"

"In ten minutes it will give them time to get to their rooms"

"Ok" I sit and talk with Kaden for a little, then the alarm goes off.

"Dad you didn't give the word"

"No I didn't this must be a really attack, GET DOWN TO THE SAFE ROOM NOW" Dad was yelling above the siren. I grabbed my brothers and ran to the chair pushed the button on the side it scanned my finger (To see if I was a rebel or not) and opened. I ran inside and turn to see dad running with mom someone was banging on the locked door, the safe room door was closing and I tried to stop it. My brothers and I were pushing on it to keep it open. Just before it closed mom and dad ran through and just in time too we hear the door crash open, just as the door locked, we were safe for now.

"Get downstairs we have to get to the safe room," Dad said all this breathlessly

"Dad everyone thinks it's a drill all the guards aren't going to know"

"No, they know that's why they sounded the alarm they will get the word around"

"But dad the maids and everyone don't know that"

"We will just have to trust the guards to get they to safety" By now we were in the safe room and I looked around, no one was here.

"DAD" He turned to see what was wrong, then there was banging on the door we all jump.

"HELP HELP" Someone yelled for the outside, I know that voice.

"KILE" I ran to the door and unbolted it. And Kile ran in and shut it behind him then unbolted it.

"Kile what happened," I asked looking him over trying to see if he was hurt.

"Well I can tell you this is not drill," He says and I smiled

"Yes I think I can tell, but what happened where is everyone"

"Well the alarm went off and I thought it was the drill so I walked over to the bookshelf to open the passageway when I heard screaming and gunshots that's when I figured out it wasn't a drill and-" whatever Kile was about to say was cut off by people running in through the other passageways.

"KILE" Kile's parents came running over and hugged their son. I smiled and walked away leaving them to fret over him. I see Kile's sister, and I sigh as I see the boys running in through the other passages. They all look fine, except for Fox he looks sick I run over to him Hale was carrying him in.

"Fox, what wrong" He groans and I see blood from his arm

"He got shot just before the door closed" Hale put fox down on the bench

"He needs help," Hale says stating the obvious

"MEDICS" I yelled at the doctor and nurses in the corner, they came running, and they look Fox over, they take his shirt off to inspected the wound, the bullet just grazed him, but it needed sticks. The doctor is barking orders at the nurse and I am sitting next to fox. I can see that he is in a lot a pain.

"Is there anything I can do," I said Fox looks at me and gives a wake smile.

"The fact that you're here and safe is enough for me" I smile and take his hand in mine (His unhurt hand) and hold on gently.

"Thank you," He says and then hiss at the pain.

"Are you going to be ok," I ask softly he can only nod.

"Eadlyn what happened," Dad said running up.

"Fox got shot just before the doors closed" Dad look's at Fox who was close to tears now. Dad then started talking to the doctor and I didn't pay much attention. Then the doctor said something to the nurse and she ran to the food area and came back with some brandy I looked at her then dad, he only nodded and the nurse pops off the top and tells fox to drink. He looked at me I shrugged and let go of his hand so he could take the bottle, he did and then took a sip.

"You need to drink most of it," The nurse tells fox, he sighs and takes a gulp then another and another.

"Is that good," He asks the nurse.

"One more time" So he takes another gulp and hands the bottle back to her, then he leaned his head ageist the wall and closes his eyes. I take his hand again, slowly stocking the back and hums, waiting as the doctor gets everything together when the water was finished boiling the doctor dipped a cloth in and held it up to the wound

"You really" Fox nodded and held onto my hand a little titer. Then the doctor started cleaning the wound, Fox stayed still and only hissed once, when the doctor started stitching the wound, I think the brandy kicked in and Fox started looking tired.

"All done," The doctor said as he finished bandaging the wound.

"You ok," I asked Fox and he looked at me but didn't answer.

"I think he needs to sleep," I said looking at dad, he nodded and one of the guards help Fox up and lead him to one of the cots. I walked over to the boys in the corner.

"Is everyone ok here no one else got hurt" I looked at all of them, trying to see if there was any blood.

"No were fine" Hale answered for everyone.

"What happened," Ean asked looking steady as always.

"Well as you must have guessed that this was not a drill, They just suddenly attacked, but it doesn't make sense because they just attacked" I was talking more to myself then the boys now. It just didn't line up how had they attack two days in a row.

"Maybe they hide out in the place" Kile suggested.

"That's it I have to talk to my dad I'll be back" I ran over to dad who was talking to one of the guards.

"Dad," I said running up, he turned and looked surprised to see me running, it was not the lady thing to do, but I didn't care Kile's comment had reminded me of something.

"Dad we are not safe here we have to get out NOW" He looked confused.

"What, why, Eadlyn calm down and tell me what happened"

"It makes sense dad the rebels were hiding in the palace that's how they attacked so fast and that's how they got to your study so fast too they are in the place, we have to get out before they come down here" Dad ran a hand through his hair thinking.

"That does make sense, but Eadlyn were would we go there is no were to escape the rebels are in the palace we go out there were goners"

"There is a passage down here that leads out of the palace walls right"

"Yes, the passage, why didn't I think of it" He turned to guard and barked orders and I ran back to the boys.

"Eady what's happening," Kile asked looking confused.

"There coming, we have to get out, you were right Kile they were in the palace I don't know were, but that explains a lot and I know that they are coming down here we have to head for the passage that leads out of the palace walls and into the woods, miles away from the palace, come on we have to go NOW"

"Where is it," Hale asks

"My dad knows where it is" Then together we ran over to dad who is still talking to the guard.

"Dad what the hold up"

"The guards are getting the supply's so we will have some food and water we don't know how long we will be out there, and we need medicine for Fox," He said looking over to Fox who was singing, I chuckle and so does dad.

"Ok, sir we are packed and ready to go," A guard said.

"Ok lets head out" I was surround by the boys and I felt so safe when I was actually the opposite, but surround by all these boy who were trying to protect me and I felt my heart swells at the sight of them, then I heard singing and turned to see a guard helping Fox along with us, I smiled he was sing twinkle little star. We are at the end of the room and dad pushed on a rock so small I don't know how he knew which one to push, a keypad popped out and dad punched in about ten numbers and the ground started to shack and dad stepped back as the floor pull's into the wall revealing a tunnel about 12 feet down and a ladder leading to it. Dad ushered us down the ladder a guard went down first then mom and my brothers then they lowered Fox down who was humming a new tune I didn't recognize, I was next and as I was going down the ladder I stepped on my dress which made me fall.

"Eadlyn," More than half of the people around me said. It was a pretty far drop and I had landed wrong and my ankle hurt "Ow" I exclaimed and before I know it Kile was by my side who was followed by all the others.

"I'm fine," I said even though my ankle was throbbing. The door closed above us and it went dark, then one of the guards (The guard was Kile's dad) took out a flashlight and was at my side. I tried to get up, but the minute I put presser on my foot I yelled and my foot gave way and I feel into Kile who held on to me and helped me stand.

"What's wrong," Dad asked coming to my side.

"My foot, it hurts" Was all I could say because it was hurting so bad. Mr. Carter shined the light down to my foot, which to everyone's surprise was swelling up. The doctor came over and one look and my foot knew what was wrong.

"Your foot is just sprain your Highnesses" I groaned I couldn't have a sprained foot not know.

"I can rap it, but walking on it would not be good we will have to find a way to get you out of here, in a few days it will be alright" The doctor raped my foot and it didn't feel any better than before, it felt worse.

"I'll carry you," Kile said and before I could protest he scooped me up and began walking

"Kile put me down I don't want to be carried like a baby"

"Too bad I'm not putting you down and if you have a better idea of how you are going to get out of here I would love to hear it" I opened my mouth to say something snippy, but Kile beat me to it.

"Eadlyn just stop talking and relax ok for once in your life" He gave me a look and I huffed and let it go.

We had been walking for an hour or Kile had been walking I was just riding along, Kile was getting tried and it looked like he could use a break.

"Dad can we take a break Kile is about to pass out" Kile looked at me and I just smiled.

"Yeah I think we all need a break" Dad called back and Kile stopped and put me down gently.

"Thanks" I whispered and I stable myself.

"Anytime," Kile said, trying to catch his breath.

"How are you doing," Dad asked coming up to me.

"Fine, it doesn't hurt like it did, at first, be it is still sore." Dad nodded then looked at Kile who was still catching his breath.

"Is there anyone who could take over for Kile for a bit"

"ME" Fox yelled in the back, he hadn't stopped singing and it had started to drive me nuts.

"Thanks, Fox, but think I'll let someone else take this one, but maybe next time ok" Fox nodded and started singing again I groaned I wasn't going to make it.

"I take over for a while," Ean said walking up, And before I know it I was in Ean's arms and we were all walking again.

"So I haven't talked to you in awhile," I said looking up at Ean he look at me and we were so close if I just leaned in a little.

"Yeah you have been pretty busy" I had gone on a date with all the boys last week and it was nice.

"Don't remind me," I said with a moan I had been working so much, trying to catch up on the work I missed, he chuckled and keep walking.

"Were here" Dad called about an hour later, I looked up to see that the tunnel widen out and we were in a small room there was a ladder leading up into the woods. Dad walked over to the ladder climbed it and opened the hatch. He turned and smiled then disappears above, the guards followed and mom, then my brothers, then Kile went up and held out his hands for me, Ean lifted me up and Kile pulled me up into the world above and into his arms. We were in a cabin it was cute but very dirty, it was small but not to small there were a fireplace and a small kitchen and four doors I expected to lead to bedrooms.

"Dad you didn't tell me there was a cabin here I thought this lead to the woods and we would be sleeping in the woods"

"No, No we will be sleeping here it should be big enough, though when we built this place we didn't think we would have so many people here"

"Wow, this place is so cool," Kaden said looking so happy.

"Yeah where's my room" Osten and Kaden went running off to the doors to find the place where we would be sleeping. I laughed at their excitement and was happy to see that everyone joined me.

"Ok we need to get this place cleaned up before it gets dark," Dad said getting down to business.

"I will get some wood sir," said one of the guards, dad nodded and he left.

"Kill can you take me to one of the rooms I need to lay down" He nodded and walked to the door with my name carved into it. When he opened it we were met by pink and blue walls and ponies and all the stuff I liked to play with when I was little, this place must have been built a long time ago, thank goodness the bed wasn't small, it was a queen sized one.

"I see you stocked up on your ponies," Kile said with a chuckle and I punched him in the arm, gentle.

"I didn't put them here this place must have been built when I was little"

"It was, you were five at the time" Kile and I jumped as mom came in.

"Really, why have we never come down here," I ask It looked like it was a vacation house or something.

"We never needed to, until now" Kill walked over to the bed and put me down gently, I kissed him once, as a thank you and he left, closing the door behind him.

"You like him don't you," Mom said came over and sat on the side of the bed.

"Yeah I do, before the selection he was nothing to me, but now I see this whole new side to him, he's sweet and gentle and yes he is still a bookworm, but a very interesting one" Mom smiled and I smiled too.

"You get some sleep now you look very tired." She kissed my forehead and walked out and I feel asleep thinking of my family and Kile.


I wake up to laughter, its dark in the room and it must be late, I can hear the crackle of a fire. I get up and hobble to the door and open it slowly what I see warms my warmth. All the boys are sitting around the fire with my dad, Osten, Kaden and Kile's family, mom must be sleeping dad would have sent her to bed. I walk out and dad sees me and smiles, the others turn to see what he was smiling and Kile chuckled.

"What," I ask

"You're a little bit of a mess," Kile says smiling and stand to come help me over to the fire.

"With your cast and hair you just look different," he says.

"My hair," I ask feeling my head I feel my frizzy hair and blush. Kile sweeps some hair away from my eyes and runs his fingers through the rest to smooth it out. "There that looks better" He smiles "Thanks," I say as I walk over to the others, Kile helps me sit and then sits down next to me. I lean on him and listen to the talk around me. Josie is talking and laughing with Hale and dad is talking to Mr. Cater and Kile just strokes my hair and hums a song. After about an hour, we all head off the bed. Mom and dad are sharing a room then there is two rooms for the boys and me and my brothers are sharing, and the guards are sleeping in the living room. I fall asleep to the sound of my brothers sleeping next to me and I dream of beautiful things.


I open my eyes and see Osten starring at me."She's awake" Osten yells and mom comes in and smiles. "He has been waiting for you to wake up for awhile." I sit up and rub my eyes "What time is it" I ask. "It's around seven" all I want to do is fall back asleep, but I have to get up."Ok, I'm up, but mom what am I going to wear." She smiles and points to the closet. I open it and gasp there are so many beautiful dresses and they are all my size, I turn to mom. "But how, I mean where" I was at a loss for words I didn't know how these got here "Your father has his ways" Is all mom says before she and Osten leave I walk into the bathroom and take a shower and get dressed it was a little hard with the cast, but I managed I did my hair in a simple ponytail and walked into the living room and is hit with the smell of food, I was starving.

All of a sudden I was lifted up into the air by Kile who had sneaked up behind me.

"Kile don't do that you scared me" But I was smiling

"I didn't think you could be scared," Kile said with that crooked smile of his.

"You know what I mean" I sighed I wasn't going to win this battle and I was too happy to argue know anyway. Kile walked over to a seat and put me down mom brought me my breakfast of pancakes.

"Mom did you make these" I asked in disbelief I mean I knew she was a good cook, but these are great.

"Your mother is a great cook anything she makes is wonderful," Dad said and he eats his food we were all eating and chatting, and I was so happy this was wonderful just having some time away. I got up and put my dish in the sink and walked to the door no one saw me leave and I was glad I wanted to walk in peace for a while. Outside was beautiful and peace rushes over me, I loved the outdoors, the birds sing as I walk around then I hear footsteps behind me, I turn to see Fox smiling behind me and I smile back.

"How are you feeling," I ask

"Fine I have a headache and I don't know how I got here, but other then that I'm good" I can't help the laugh that comes out, remembering his singing.

"What," He asks

"I didn't know you know so many songs," I said making he looked confused.

"I don't get it"

"When we were walking here you were singing the whole way you didn't stop" I giggled again

"Oh," He blushed.

"Its ok your not a bad singer," I say trying to cheer him up.

"Man how embarrassing," He says running a hand through his hair just like dad does. I step closer there is something I have wanted to do for a long time I take his hand he looks into my eyes and asks if this is really ok and I nodded and he leans in a kisses me, lightly and gently and I wrapped and arms around his neck and he rapes his around my waist. When he finally pulls back he's smiling.

"You're a much better kisser than a singer" Say giggling and take his hand in mine and walk back to the cabin. I can't wait to tell Neena about this then I realize that Neena and all the palace staff was still at the palace. Where they alright, when I get inside I walked over to dad.

"Dad I just thought of something, what happened to the guards and maids back at the palace" Dad didn't look concerned at all.

"I'm not sure hopefully the guards got them to safety" I don't know why, but that remark sent me over the edge

"Don't you care what happens to them," I asked a little too loud because everyone stopped talking a starred, but I didn't care I was furies that dad didn't care what happened to the people who cared for us

"Of course, I do," He said, but I didn't believe him.

"No, you don't as long as you and your family are safe that's all you care about, you don't care if the guards, maids, and cooks and all the palace staff was killed as long as your safe, how shallow can you get" I was almost yelling.

"Watch your tone Eadlyn," Dad said matching my volume.

"No dad I don't need to watch my tone I'm not a little girl and I'm so tired of you bossing me around" And with that I turned to walk away.

"Don't you walk away from me" dad yelled and I turn and glared

"I don't care what you say, because you don't care about anyone, but yourself and I'm sick of it dad and I'm not going to let you control my life anymore and you can just do what you want, but leave me out of it" I yelled and spun around and walked past all the people and out the door slamming it behind me I walk over to the river and sat on a rock. I thought about Neena and all the people I loved who were still at the palace. I hear footsteps, I didn't want to talk to anyone right now.

"Whoever you go away I want to be alone" But they didn't stop, I looked up to see a three men walking my way and all I could think of was rebels I scream and one of them grabs on me, but not before everyone in the cabin hears and I see Kile, Ean, and Fox run out they see me and come running, one man has his hands around my throat and I can't breathe then I feel something stick into my neck. The last thing I remember is the sound of a gun going off before I slip into darkness.


I wake up to see pink and blue walls and wooden ponies, I sigh at the sight then Osten's head pops into view.

"She's awake" I hear footsteps and everyone is in my room I sit up, and get a pounding headache I close my eyes, but it doesn't help.

"You ok" Mom asks, I still have me eyes closed so I can't see her face. I open mouth to answer, but then I get a searing pain in my throat and wimpier.

"Sweaty" I hear Dad and open my eyes, I get up and run it his arms. He hugs me and I just hold onto him, When I back up I looking into his eyes and give a wake smile. My headache worsens and I close my eyes and wimpier.

"Eadlyn are you alright" I shack my head a little, trying to tell him that I feel like I'm dying. I sink to the floor as a new wave of pain comes over me and I start whimpering that's all I can do.

"Eadlyn what's wrong" I try to speak again, but the searing pain in my throat makes me curl up into a ball rocking back and forth whimpering, an arm wrapped around my back and I hear Kile.

"Eadlyn can you talk" I wimpier again and he hugs me closer, then I remember what happened and I stand up suddenly and run out the doors I see the three man tied up one is bleeding and the others look pretty beat up, I wimpier again, and jump when I feel a hand on my shoulder, Kill is looking worried.

"Eadlyn what's wrong why won't talk"

"Because she can't" I turn to see one of the men with a sly smile on, I walk a step closer and look him in the eyes.

"Why can't she" Kile asks

"Because I injected her with a serum that inflames her throat and will send a searing pain through her whole body when she tries to talk" I open my mouth then the pain is back and I crumple to the ground whimpering.

"Oh, Eadlyn," Kile says coming to my side.

"How can we fix this" Kile growled at the man.

"You can't there is no way to fix it" By now everyone was out in the living room and Kile and the other boys were fighting with the man, dad comes to my side to help me up, he leads me to my bed helps me get in, And I curl up into a ball and try to find sleep, but I only do when Kile comes in lye's down next to me and rape an arm around my waist and I fall asleep in peace.
