Kellin

“Clean her up. She’s a mess, and if the King sees her like this, it will be your head on the altar,” I say as I point at one of the newest girls. She went insane in the cell. She clawed at the walls until her nails were broken and her fingertips bled. Not that I blame her at all, anyone in their right mind would fight. I walk out of the cell exhausted from the night I’ve had. I was out of the compound all week and made it a point to take in as much as I could of the outside world. It was interesting watching people just go on about their days not seeming to care one way or another. It intrigued me to say the least. What also intrigued me was Rose. The way I kept thinking about her, imagining a life outside of this with her.

“What the hell took you so long?” Rory roars as he jogs down the steps.

“Did you miss me that much?” I ask, raising an eyebrow. I watch as he runs his hand through his hair. Somethings wrong. “What is it?”

“Your father has lost his mind that’s what it is. Do you know he has Ebony chained up in his room?”

“Did you expect any less after what she did?” She got herself into that mess. She knew the consequences of every one of her actions and for me to go against my father right now wouldn’t prove smart on my behalf.

“Are you kidding me? So we leave her to that?”

“It isn’t death, Rory. We don’t really have a choice at the moment. She needs to keep her mouth shut and her ass in his bed, not mine.” I brush past him and climb the stairs two at a time until I reach the top. I know he’s still behind me.

“He’s going to make an example of her at the ceremony tonight,” he adds. I figured as much. Although I hate to watch her go through that, she did this to herself.

“And we will stand there like always. What is your problem Rory? This can’t be all about Ebony. This has been going on for a long time now. She made that decision.” When I cross my arms over my chest and turn to look at him, I see it. The look in his eyes. There’s more he isn’t telling me.

“I saw 6106 leaving his wing. She had…”

“What? She had what?” I growl, my jaw clenching so tight that pain shoots through my face.

“She had blood dripping onto the floor from under her robe.” I storm past him, shoving him out of my way as I go. I don’t get far when he grabs my arm and spins me around, shoving me roughly against the wall.

“Whatever it is you’re planning to do, think about it. He has eyes on her, Kellin.” His words burn deeper than any flame inside of me. I swallow hard and nod my head once. Rory takes a step back from me as I run my hand through my hair.
