I stumbled past Kyra into the room and my eyes fell on utter devastation. Drawers pulled out, the couch shredded, pictures thrown from the walls. At the heart of it all stood a boy with sandy hair and wide eyes, a short dagger in his grip.

Recognition pounded through me. This was the kid Marik had been about to whip before I'd interrupted him.

He lifted the blade, a wild glint in his eyes. “W-where is it?” he stuttered.

“Woah calm down, kid, what's going on?” I kicked the door shut behind me and Kyra looked from me to Laris, a warning in her eyes I didn't understand.

“Where i-is it?!” he demanded, shaking from head to toe. His right eye twitched and his body was jittery as he stepped forward.

Was he really going to try and take me on? He was smaller than Kyra.

“I-I need it or s-she's going to k-kill me.” Laris pointed the blade at me and I raised my hands.

“Take a breath,” I growled. “You're not thinking straight. You're outnumbered here.”

He swung the blade to point at Kyra and her mouth parted. “I'm much stronger than you,” she said gently.

Laris shook his head. “J-just tell me where i-it is!” he yelled and I lunged forward, grabbing his wrist and disarming him in seconds.

He struggled wildly as I pinned him to my chest, tossing the blade to Kyra. She caught it out of the air with a grin as she eyed the hilt.

I locked my arm around the boy's neck and he wheezed as I applied pressure. I just needed to calm him down – like right now idiot, or you're gonna pass out!

He clawed at my skin, but finally fell still and I eased my grip.

I pushed him toward the wrecked couch and the wine in my veins meant I used a little too much force so he went flying over it.

“Sorry kid,” I grunted, staggering a little as the alcohol made my thoughts fuzzy.

He jumped up behind it, starting to shake again.

“G-get back,” he begged, raising his hands. “J-just give me the lamp and I'll g-go.”

My stomach knotted. He wanted the lamp. Which meant Gothel must have sent him.

Shit, what were we gonna do?

“Cassian,” Kyra said in a loud whisper as if Laris couldn't hear her. I turned to her and she pointed to her head then wiggled her fingers like a spider.

“What?” I hissed and she cupped her hand with her mouth.

“In his brain,” she said loudly.

I looked to Laris with a dawning comprehension and my heart stalled in my chest. “Hey kid...” I approached slowly. “Did Gothel do something to you? Did you see a beetle maybe..?”

Laris blinked several times, shaking his head then nodding fervently. “It h-hurt,” he whimpered.

“Come here,” I beckoned. “Let me help you.” I wasn't sure exactly what I was planning to do. I couldn't exactly do brain surgery on the boy.

“N-no one can h-help me.” A tear slid from his eye.

The door opened and I turned sharply as Aladdin entered the room, a swagger to his walk until he spotted the mess before him.
