Chapter 14 MIRO

"When was the last time you heard from her?" Theon asked as we exited the school building into the front yard.

"Almost a day? Sadie said with worry written all over her face. "I gave her my number so hopefully she'll call"

Theon placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll find her, okay?" Sadie nodded in response and entered into his embrace while I stood at a distance watching them

Ryn. There was something about her that I just couldn't put my finger on. Somehow, she had managed to affect the two most important people in my life, saving one and somehow fixing the other gradually.

Or is there more to this than meets the eye? Cause it's too much of a coincidence that she's friends with my cousin and now my brother who I know to be the coldest, and most dangerous person on the planet is now acting weird because of her? Something isn't adding up.

Still, I couldn't deny what Ryn had done to save Sadie. That took some real guts and despite not wanting to, I was starting to admire that about her.

After we said our goodbyes to Sadie, my brother and I walked the rest of the way to where our car was waiting.

"What if we can't find her?" I asked, suddenly breaking the silence between us.

"That's not an option, Brother." Theon replied but there was an edge to his voice. One that insinuated that if Ryn wasn't found, bad things might happen. I looked at my brother but his face was unreadable as usual and when I checked the bond between us. I felt nothing ei Just as we

A slip of character but it happened and I decided not to acknowledge it. I want more of such mistakes to happen.

"What is it?" I asked and when my brother looked at me, his blue eyes suddenly had more vibrance and life to it. "I put out an APB on Ryn and the assistant coach just said he saw her at the center."

"Wow." I replied, watching my brother for more cues but his face betrayed no emotions. Just his eyes. "Well, let's go see her

The last time I saw Ryn, she had been attempting a dangerous wall climbing feat unsupervised and unharnessed. Now, she was sitting on a field, staring into space, looking more emaciated and tired than before. I was in a moving car, so she couldn't see me but one look at her made me know that something was seriously up with her.
