Chapter Ten

Light emits through the doorway at the top of the stairs. I'm instantly drawn to the comforting warmth it gives off. We emerge onto a field of purple-stemmed flowers, the ones that have always been present in my dreams and visions with Jax. I look up and see the three moons staring back at me. The mere thought of Jax sends a stabbing pain through my chest. There's no way he'll forgive me. This is the second time I've left without telling him. I fight back the urge to cry and instead focus on Miri.

"This way, Alexa. We need to hurry and leave Pumalia before we're seen. Remember you're still wanted here; they don't know which side you're on and this is not the time to explain your case." He reaches for my hand in an effort to hurry me. A shiver slices through me when our hands meet. A similar chill from when we first met returns.

"Sorry, Princess. I'm a lot cooler than most." His grip tightens as he pulls me along. I imagine myself warmer and, to my surprise, I'm no longer feeling an arctic blast. Ry swings his gaze towards me and smiles. I think that means he can feel my warmth now, but I'm not sure. He's a tricky being to understand.

We're moving fast through the field as the lavender scent swirls around in my head and tickles my nose. Every now and then Ry takes a longer stride than normal, which makes me have to do the same. I feel myself quickly tiring.

"What are we searching for?" I ask Ry as we begin to slow.

"Over there!" He releases my hand and draws a finger up to his lips, indicating that we must be quiet.

Ayu flies by and scopes out the scene. As quickly as he takes off, he returns. "We can make it to the craft before the Pumalian guards arrive. Apparently, they are still after the princess."

"Let's do it then," Ry says sharply. "Now."

I draw in a deep breath and run behind them. Panic skirts around my already unsettled feelings, but I do my best to push it away.

Ry scowls as he turns and looks directly past me. Wanting to know what has changed the mood I swerve my head slightly to see what could be behind me. Instantly, I trip over a rock and go flying into the air. I brace myself for impact by bringing my hands up to my face. But I never hit the ground. Ry catches me and continues running toward the spacecraft. Over his shoulder I see the Pumalians from the compound sprinting after us.

Why does Maddox still want me? I'll prove to him I'm not the monster he fears I am. They'll see that I'm not the bad guy eventually. Maddox's insecurities over my powers have driven a wedge between Jax and the militia already. What's next?

"Princess," Ry grunts as he runs with me. "This may be a good time to practice your power."

Quickly, I close my eyes and imagine a barrier, an impenetrable glass wall.
