46. Something Pure CHARLENE. 

That night we talked hours into the night, filling each other in on everything that had happened. Listening to the things Thea had been subjected to at the hands of her father shocked me, and I realised how lucky I was to grow up with a father who sheltered me. Even if I never saw eye–to–eye with my mother, it was still nothing compared to what she had been through. We all had slowly drifted off, but my sleep was plagued with nightmares of burning bodies, Hunter dying... Yileyna dying, and the world being conquered by evil. The following day, no one came, and we simply sat there; starving, thirsty, and tired. 

I felt too exhausted to talk much, and the day passed painstakingly slow. I was unsure when sleep kept pulling me into its folds, and I had come down with a high temperature. I know they were talking to me but nothing made much sense anymore... I awoke with a jolt and sat up my heart pounding, as I scanned the area trying to figure out why I had awoken, when I saw the entrance scrape open. I wasn‘t the only one to get up, not knowing what was to come. My heart was in my throat as I looked at the tall, hooded figure that stood there. His glowing eyes were something I had never seen before. They were a variety of golds and oranges, so similar to Yileyna yet so different.... It was only for a second, and I wondered if I had imagined it. 1 

Who is that? 

Everyone was tense, wondering what was to come, but when he spoke, he took us all by surprise. 

“I never thought I‘d say this, but it‘s good to see you all alive.” The deep voice came. 

 

My heart skipped a beat. 

“Theon!” I exclaimed weakly. 

He removed his hood and came over to Gamma Henry, braking his silver collar and cuffs off. 

“We need to move fast.” He said quietly as he began breaking the chains on everyone with ease, completely barehanded. His aura felt different too, it was stronger... 

My heart thumped as he approached me. Why wasn‘t Hunter here? 

“Are they alright?” I asked softly. His eyes met mine as he broke my collar, his eyes were multi–coloured, just as I had thought I had seen from afar. 

“They are.” He said, breaking my hands free, and I felt as if a weight had been lifted from me. The pain that the silver was causing vanishing. “Theon, what‘s going on?” Raiden asked as Thea kissed her brother, hugging him tightly. 

“We don‘t have time, I‘ll explain on the way. I arrived here yesterday, but it took me a while to find you. Tomorrow is the Alpha Gathering. I still don‘t know exactly what he‘s planning, but I have my theories, and if I am correct, then we need to fucking stop him. I will take you all to safety. Grayson and Zarian are not far outside of Westerfell. I‘ll take you there. I don‘t think anyone will come for you today...” He scanned the cave. 

“Sounds good to me, why the fuck have your eyes changed?” Ryan asked as everyone was finally free. 1 “He‘s marked.” Thea said smugly “Don‘t you think the eyes look familiar? Almost like Yil...” She trailed off, her heart thudding as she looked at Raiden. 

I didn‘t miss the look of sadness in his eyes, but he said nothing, holding his hand out to her. 

“Congratulations.” He said after a moment, giving Thea a small smile, before he turned to Theon. 

Their eyes met, and tension filled the room. 

“Do not hurt my sister.” Theon said dangerously to him. “I won‘t.” Raiden replied, his blue eyes sharp. “Don‘t hurt our Queen.” “I don‘t need to be told. I won‘t hurt her.” 1 

A silence followed before Ryan cleared his throat. 

“Wow, the ten–” 

“Ryan! Do you need to always comment!” I exclaimed, taking everyone by surprise, and, for once, I rendered him speechless... 2
