Kieran and Vera stuck to the shadows between containers…their steps soundless though Kieran's breathing was too loud.
Luckily nobody noticed which meant Mango's masking spell was working just fine.
The deeper they went, the louder the screams grew.
But Kieran didn't see the girl anymore.All he saw was Autum.He saw her in a cage.Saw her chained.
"She is pregnant, for fuck's sake…She is pregnant…"
Carrying his children.
And she was fragile with her powers locked up. Mango had warned him that the pregnancy wasn't going to be easy. He needed to find her...and fast because...she wouldn't even be able to scream if these... These monster ( had her? No! No! He didn't want to think...But he did...)
And the babies
"No. No, no, no..."
He squeezed his eyes shut.His body locked.His body kept acting on its own.
Vera grabbed his wrist before he could lunge again. "Wait."
He nearly tore her arm off. "Let. Go."
"It is not her!" Vera hissed. "Listen carefully!"
