Checking my wristwatch, I realized we were going to be late for the King's Ball so Sadie and I went back into Chelsea's room and we began the search.
We spent about twenty minutes searching her room with no luck. Then I sent a quick text to Miro who would be watching us via cameras. As soon as he saw Sadie, he blew a fuse but his cousin was able to calm him down and make him focus on the task at hand. "Check her closet." He suggested, and we began our search there, being careful not to let Chelsea's candle burn our clothes.
We went through all the drawers, still with no luck, then an idea came to mind. I grabbed my phone again. This time, my text was directed to someone else.
"Do chemicals for potions have a smell?" I asked Mr. Cresswell.
Shortly after, his reply came in. "Yes. Search for something acrid or awful."
"Got it."
I channeled my wolf, sharpening my senses, then I lifted my nose to the air and soon enough, I perceived the stench of rotten eggs. Letting my nose guide me, I went lower and lower until I was on my knees and my attention was brought to a pair knee high pair of black boots.
Opening one leg, I dipped my hand in and brought out a full bag of pink powder. I turned to look at Sadie before checking the other leg. There, I found another big bag and got that too.
My phone suddenly buzzed with a text and I checked it to see it was from Miro.
"Put them back."
Is he mad?
"Without her stash, she won't be able to poison him anymore."
"Without her stash, she will know we are unto her and might do something even more drastic that we did not foresee. Get the container you brought from Mr. Cresswell, pour in a sample and return the rest." Shit. He was right.
Reluctantly, I obeyed and we both pulled out our nose masks before taking the sample. Once we were done, we secured the air tight container in Sadie's bag.
Suddenly, my phone began to ring and then I saw it was Miro.
What is it this time?
I put
the phone to my ear, picking his call. I barely said the word 'Hello' before I heard his voice.
"Get out of there now. The guards are on their way."
I froze, sharing a glance with Sadie before hurrying out of the closet. "How many of them?"
"All of them, Ryn," His voice carried concern, "All five of them. Don't go for the door."
I froze again and Sadie did the same.

"Go out the window instead. I'm going to try and call to delay them."
Since Sadie could use her enhanced hearing, I didn't need to explain anything to her. Together, we headed for the window and may the Goddess bless Sadie because she came prepared with a standard bundle of rope. Quickly making a double knot, we tied the rope to the foot of the bed and threw the rest downstairs.
I turned to Sadie. "Do you know how to climb down?"
"I was a Girl Scout once."
That was enough for me. Quickly, I helped her over the window ledge so she could start to climb down. Immediately I did that, the door burst open and in came five hefty men each with their eyes shimmering pink.
"I think I'm going to have to call you back." I said to Miro and ended the call. The moment the men saw what was happening, they growled and advanced.
Pulling out one knife from my belt and another from my ankles. I channeled my wolf and snarled in defense. Two of the men upon seeing what was happening behind me, left the room and I instantly knew they were going for Sadie. "Sadie, run!" I yelled, without taking my eyes off the remaining three. "They are coming for you!"
Unfortunately, Sadie had carried the bag that had most of our self defense tools so I had to rely on the ones on my body. Not sure how I was going to knock out three big guys, I gripped my knives tight and searched for weak spots. Watching as they formed a semi-circle, slowly approaching, my eyes landed on each of their guns tucked in their sides. Unfortunately, the nearest person followed my gaze and immediately went for his gun. Moving as fast as I could, I stabbed him in the eye and when he growled out, raising his gun, I held on to the weapon and struggled with him.
A random shot fired into the celing and as the other two guys came closer, one was able to claw up my side. I screamed in pain, putting all my strength into diverting the gun to his face. He was just about to do another damage to me before random bullet number two went through his head. For a moment, it was as if time stopped as his head jerked backward and a whole splatter of blood sprayed the room. I trembled, realizing that I just had my second kill, and I think I got distracted, because the next thing I heard was a heavy blow to my face. Staggering to the window, the third and biggest of them all came for me, his yellow glowing eyes reflecting rage and murder. He grabbed my throat, pushing me all the way back in the air as I bent over the window ledge. Somewhere, I think I heard Sadie scream and I hoped to the Goddess that she was not hurt or worse... killed.
Hardly able to breath, I fought and scratched his face but he was a man with a bicep bigger than my head. Frantically, searching for a weapon on my body, I suddenly remembered the stun gun in my pocket and brought it out with joy. Turning it to the highest frequency, I placed the stunner right at his neck
He jerked and stiffened, spittle coming out through his teeth as the electric voltage sizzled through him. His hands slacked off my neck and I was able to use him to rise back up and push him into the room. We both collapsed to the floor, with me, lying on top of him and that's when I saw man number one with the stab wound in the eye, come for me.
Quickly I reached for number three's gun and shot both his knees. He cried out, falling to the floor and when I rose to my feet, I hit him with the butt of the gun, knocking him out cold.
Seeing all three incapacitated, I bent over, resting my hands on my knees to catch my breath. Then I remembered Sadie screamed.

Rushing out of the room, I took the elevator downstairs, barely registering the huge tear in my side that revealed healed s from where I was clawed. My face and neck were mightily bruised but that would fade in minutes or so, all I care about is finding Sadie alive. As soon as the elevators opened, I rushed out, suddenly remembering we met security downstairs and had no idea if they were poisoned too. I ran into the parking lot and was just in time to see Sadie shoot a taser gun at one of the men. To my surprise, she didn't flinch until he was down on his knees and eventually out cold on the floor.
In that moment, I knew she'd make a badass Elite Warrior.
Just then, I heard sounds of struggle, and when I looked to my far left, I saw two of the security men fighting. Immediately he pulled out a gun and shot the other several times.
Unsure what was happening, I ran into the open space, straight for Sadie and when she saw me, she opened her arms for ai embrace. She hugged me tight but my eyes were focused on the man approaching us now.
I unwrapped myself from Sadie's hold, pulled her behind me and snarled at him.
"No!" Sadie rushed before me. "He's cool."
Hooked at her and then at the security watching me warily. "He's not poisoned. He's one of the good ones." Sadie continued "Saved my life."
"What happened?" He asked and I did my best to narrate.

"No wonder. When I saw Prince Theon with that girl. I just knew something was off." He said, planting his hands on his waist and shaking his head. "I guess that's why Prince Miro asked me and my buddies to be on duty today."
My eyes then fell on the other two men, sitting in a corner, in the pool of their own blood leaning their backs against a car They seemed to be in serious pain but still breathing.
"What happened?" I asked.
"As soon as I got down, I ran to the security." Sadie explained, "but the two bad ones attacked them badly. I was able to tase one while he," She motioned to the guard, "took care of the other."
"Are they going to be okay?" I asked, nodding my head towards those guys.
"Yeah. They'll be fine." The guy said. "They just need to heal."
"What about the guys up there?" Sadie asked, "It's not safe if they come downstairs."
Before he could reply, the low purr of an engine reached us, and moments later, Miro strode in, dressed in a suit that fit him like a second skin, his bow tie slightly loosened as if he'd rebelled against perfection.
My heart gave a traitorous flutter.
Miro rarely wore suits, and seeing him now, with that careless elegance and a smoldering gaze, he seemed like a prince stepping out of a dream. For an instant, he looked so much like Theon-but there was an edge to Miro, a touch of wildness that made it hard to look away.
His green eyes took in the scenery and when they landed on me he made a beeline towards me.

"Are you okay?" He asked concerned, his green eyes assessing my body. "Gods! You look really hurt."
"I'm fine." I replied, never knowing he could be this caring.
"I'm okay too." Sadie said, waving awkwardly to the side. "Glad to be alive."

Miro sighed, before pulling her in for a hug. She melted into his embrace, looking so small and cute in his arms and that once again reminded me of Theon. He used to do that to me.
After debriefing Miro, he told us to go on to the party, that he would take care of the mess.
I suddenly felt bad. "I'm sorry I made a mess." I said to him, as the wind blew my hair around. His eyes cut to me, a twinkle of something shining in his eyes.
He reached out, his fingers warm as they brushed a stray strand of hair from my face. "Considering the circumstances, you did really well. Proud of you."
I blinked, caught off guard. Those last three words sent a strange thrill through me, something I couldn't quite name but felt like a spark low in my stomach. Did I just get a compliment from the Miro Windermere?
He must have sensed my reaction, because he stepped back, folding his arms behind him, a faint hint of a smile tugging at his lips.
Afterward, Sadie and I headed home, but the whole ride back, his words echoed in my mind, each repetition tugging at that same mysterious place inside me. Why did it matter so much that he was proud of me? And why did I suddenly crave to hear him say it again?
AUTHOR'S NOTE; Sorry. Sometimes I'd just have to upload two chaps at once. I am tired of this system keeping chapters under review for hours.
