The Beginning of The End
Chapter 52

I leave Suer above ground and make my way down into the cells, the chatter from the guards following me as i tread carefully on the steps, the snow was getting worse above ground, and even with the heaters the underground dungeon was freezing, it made the stone steps icy. Which obviously is not easy to walk down.

I wish i still had my hiking boots, but they took all my snow gear away from me the the day i was brought here. Bastards. It wasn't like i was going to run away, not whilst they had Miya locked up.

Although they couldn't have known that I guess. They didn't know how close Miya and i was until i begged for her freedom.

Maybe i should talk to Ryker? I may be able to convince him to give some of my stuff back, even if it is just my coat. I'd love my coat back.

I'm freezing to death down here.

"Miya!" I call when i reach the bottom step, turning towards where she was locked in a dark cell. "Miya its me, Elora."

I spot her huddled in the corner, shivering in what little clothes she had covering her body.

Fuck. She was going to catch her death if they didn't help her soon.

Not that it mattered, i was getting her out of here, i had the key held tightly in my hand.

She lifts her head slowly, "Elora, I'm so cold."

I tense at the weakness in her voice, my chest tightening with fear.

"I've come to get you out, look i brought the key." I wapk forward, unlocking the door

and swinging it open as it groans.

She doesn't move, she just stares.

Didn't she hear me?

I take a hesitant step forward, "Come on, the chef made chocolate cake, I know it is your favourite."

Again she doesn't move, just stares at me through teary eyes.

Silecurdesin''s pearl ́enitlen."

My anxiety increases. What is wrong with her? Is she in shock?

I need to get her out of here as fast as i can and take her to Ryker, he will know what to do.

"Suer!" I shout, cautiously moving further into the cell.

Miya's eyes widen, "You're going to make them hurt me." Her voice is weak, and yet so full on venom that it makes me stop midstep.

Does she really believe i will hurt her?

"No one is going to hurt you, i just want to help." I whisper, holding my hands up in surrender as i kneel in front of her.

I just need to touch her skin, she might be hyperthermic, and that would be deadly, especially when i didn't know if there was anyone who would be able to treat it. She could have pneumonia. She could die.

Tears spring to my eyes as i reach out and touch her skin, the iciness of her flesh making me shiver.

Fuck. She was gravely ill, that is why she doesn't understand what is happening.

That is why she thinks i will hurt her. She doesn't recognise me.

"Suer!" I shout again, as loud as i can.

He will hear me. He is a hellhound, their hearing is incredible.

I slowly reach forward and pull Miya towards me, using all the strength in my body to lift us both onto our feet. When I stumble from the extra weight i cal upon my magic, using it to hold up her body, it was difficult to concentrate when i hadn't used my powers in so long. But i had no choice.

I had to save her, I couldn't lose her now, not after everything we have been through.

"What is going on?" Suer frowns, stopping a few feet away from me.

"We have to help her!" I rush out of the cell, holding tightly to Miya, "Is there a doctor i can take her to?"

"There is." Suer nods, reaching out towards Miya and pulling her into his arms. "It will be quicker if i carry her." He says.

More tears slide down my cheeks, "Thank you."

"We better hurry, she is ice cold." He turns away from me and jogs up the concrete steps, the ice no issue for him.

Yet, I slip and slide as i try and chase after him, Slipping several times. It doesn't stop me though.

Nothing will keep me from helping Miya.

Suer and i run all the way to the house, Suer shouting at one of the oassing guards to get a doctor. He hesitates at first but eventually does as he is told and runs in the opposite direction. I wouls have killed him if he refused. Now was not a time to mess with me.

"Max." Suer says to a guard with blue eyes. "Get either of the kings and take them to their chamber, tell them that the queens friend is gravely ill and she needs them."

I glance up at Suer, wondering why he is going so much to help. He doesn't have to protect me as much as he does. I'm a fae, a dirty creature that they all hate, so why? Why is he going beyond duty for me?

Not that i am complaining cause Fuck, i definitely need his help right now. "Right away sir!" The guard, Max responds, rushing off towards the studies.

"Let's get her to your room." He looks down at me, as if only just noticing my tears. "She will be ok, We will do all we can."

"She is my only friend, i need her." I whisper, angrily wiping away the tears. Why was i so weak?

I needed to be strong for her because right now she couldn't be strong for herself. "She needs YOU, my queen." He says with a frown as he glances down at the limp human in his arms. "She needs a miracle."

My whole body tenses, my muscles threatening to snap under the pressure. He is saying she has a small chance of survival.

He is saying that i could do everything possible and still lose her.

But that won't happen!

I will fucking make sure she survives. She deserves it. She deserves a chance for something better.

"Let's get her to the room." I say, my voice sharp.

I will not lose anyone else, i will destroy every creature in this fucking house if it means

she could live.

They mean nothing to me, but Miya? She means the world, maybe more.

We take her to my chamber and Suer gently places her down on the bed, standing back so that i can sit with her.

I move the wet strands of hair away from her face, "You'll be ok." I whisper into the skin

of her chest as i hold her close. "I know you will be ok."

I just hope that i am telling the truth, her breaths and raspy and croaky, her skin is as

pale as ash, and the black lines around her eyes indicate she was struggling for a while.

i wish i could have gotten to her sooner. But regardless i am with her now, and i will never leave her again.
