Chapter 16

Lyla and Lilly sat on Lyla’s bed and continued to practice their newfound power. Thomas was impressed. No one that he knew, or in the history of Armoria for that matter, had the ability to do that. Not even Arthur, and he had acquired several skills over the years himself.

Thomas suggested that Lyla and Lilly go to Arthur the next morning. He would be able to tell them more information better than anyone could.

The night was getting late, so Lilly went back to her room to get some rest for the next day. Thomas stayed for just a few more minutes, making sure Lyla didn’t need anything before he went to bed. He kissed her once more and went to his room.

It took a while longer for Lyla to fall asleep than she had anticipated. She thought about her powers and what more she might have. Arthur had said before that they were a special case. No one could possibly know how different they were or what they might have the ability to do.

She thought of Damien and the power he possessed over her. How he made her fall to the ground in pain just by a single touch. She had not mentioned her dream to anyone. It was only a dream, so it couldn’t have been real. Damien couldn’t have power like that. Could he? If he did, they were all in danger. She could only hope she would be able to stand up against him when the time came.

The next morning couldn’t have come soon enough. Lyla had been in bed for several days and felt overrested. She got up before the sun even started to show in the distance, and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

The lights were on. She peered around the corner and saw William, who was already awake and sitting at the table drinking coffee. She wondered if he had done that every morning before making them all breakfast.

His hair was disheveled and he looked tired. She concluded he must have had a rough night.

“Good morning,” he said. His tone was flat, and his grim expression remained the same.

“Are you all right? It looks like you didn’t get much sleep.”

“I’m fine. How are you?” he said, changing the subject. “It is your first day out of bed, you must feel fully rested.”

“Too much rest, actually. If it were not for Arthur, I would have been up yesterday.”

“He knows what he is talking about.”

“I know! That is why Lilly and I are going to see him today.”

William raised his brows at her. “Oh, really? And why are you going to his house? I fear we have bothered him enough these past few days.”

“I think he enjoys the company. Besides, Lilly figured out that we can read each other’s minds. Isn’t that great?”

William didn’t answer right away. Lyla’s smiled faded as he walked to the fridge. He leaned over, pulled out a basket of eggs, and sat them on the counter before turning back to Lyla.

“I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to have power, but it can also be dangerous.
