Chapter 14

Nyx

Manhandled by several guards, both men and women, Nyx was dragged from the room. She looked back, desperate to see Nero once last time, and caught sight of him being forced through the opposite door.

‘I’ll find you. I’ll come for you, and I’ll find you,’ he called after her.

‘Nero,’ she shouted before the door was shut behind her and she was dragged along the corridor beyond. Thrown forward by the group, she staggered but managed to keep her feet and looked back at the three shotguns that were levelled at her. ‘I’d raise my hands, but…’ she said, indicating her cuffed wrists.

‘Walk, that way. Slowly,’ said one of the men.

Nyx nodded and walked up the hallway. There were doors to her left and another at the far end of the corridor. She soon reached it and one of the guards stepped forward to open it, letting her through. They were in a large room that extended off to her right, which she guessed would be behind the throne room they had met the queen in. Several large and small doors were spaced around the room, and there were a few others in here, passing through, going about their business.

The guards guided her to her right and then to a door on the opposite wall to the one she had entered the room through. She passed through another smaller room. There were more doors in here, another large one on the opposite wall to the one they had entered through, and two smaller doors on either side of that one. The guards guided her to the one on her left and pushed her inside.

‘Stand there,’ the lead guard said, pointing to the middle of the room while the guards took up positions around her, their weapons ready.

She wondered how Nero was getting on. What were they doing to him? Were they hurting him, torturing him, or just throwing him in a cell? She guessed they might just kill him, but if they wanted her to comply, to do as they wished, they might need him as leverage. Which left her wondering what they were going to do to her. That guard, Jaks, he’d said something about the queen wanting her. She had no idea what that meant, but it didn’t sound good.

Close by, the guard turned to her after checking the placement of the armed guards. ‘Strip,’ he said.

Nyx looked over at him and raised her eyebrows in surprise and confusion. ‘Sorry? What?’ she asked.

‘You heard me, strip. Take your clothes off,’ he said, slightly more forcefully and enunciating each word clearly, as if he were talking to an idiot.

Nyx scowled at him, hating his patronising attitude. ‘Yeah, I got it,’ she said with an exasperated sigh. She hesitated for a moment, feeling suddenly self-conscious and acutely aware of the three guys and one woman staring at her.

‘Now!’ the lead guard bellowed.

‘Fine,’ Nyx said and went about removing her coat, bodysuit and other garments until she finally stood there, utterly naked, with her arms crossed before her, feeling very exposed.
