Tasting Darkness

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 

My mind flicked to Kalen in this vulnerable state. I could take his power and escape, but I couldn’t do it for some reason. It would be so easy, but I felt like I would condemn him if I did. The floor creaked as I heard three sets of feet step into the room. I could smell the buzz of electricity as a portal opened u p. I glanced over my shoulder to see Darius, Tobias, and Lycus step into the room.

“You were supposed to stay in your room,” Darius told me, and I nodded.

“How did you find him?” he demanded like I was the one that brought him here.

“I don’t know; I just found myself here. I don’t even know where I am, only that I was in some abandoned part of the castle,”

“What, you just stumbled across him?” Darius snapped and Lycus walked around Kalen and kneeled on the other side of him. He grips his shoulder.

“Kalen, can you hear me,” Lycus whispers.

“I won’t let you take her from me again. Why is it bad? I just want to see her,” Kalen mumbled, and Lycus’s eyes went to m e. I could feel them all looking at me.

“I am right here, Kalen,” I tell him.

“But not for long, they always take you away, always take you away,” my brows furrowed in confusion. Lycus pried his hand from mine.

“She is right there, Kalen,” Lycus whispers, kissing his cheek. Kalen just stared through me like he wasn’t really seeing me when Lycus placed Kalen’s hand on the side of my face.

“See, can’t you feel her?”

“She is right in front of you,” Lycus tells him.
