Chapter 360: Aftermath (II)

Killian brought Inez to a room. The tension in his shoulders was yet to ease. "Are you alright?" He asked her, his feet heading straight to the couch placed at the corner of the room, like he was a man on a mission.

Inez slowly nodded. The panic that had been running high in her body slowly started to subdue. Her mind, which had been working tirelessly, anxiously to help her escape from the dangers in front of her, turned quiet. She was finally safe; she didn’t need to worry about being caught or her identity as the siren being known to others. She wouldn’t be caught, trapped and used as a breeding sow or blood bank.

She was safe.

"Where are your shoes?" Killian helped her down on the couch and asked calmly. Trying to ease the tension that was still stuck right between her shoulders and body. He glanced at her clothes, which were torn. He knew that it was done by the guard, but where were her shoes?

Inez’s lips parted. She looked down at her feet and replied softly, "I lost them when I was trying to run away from the guards... I don’t know where I dropped them."

Killian noticed that the woman’s voice had turned hoarse. He walked over to the mini fridge and took out a bottle of water from inside it. Taking it out, he placed it in front of Inez.

"Drink."

Inez took the bottle from him and heard him say, "Be gentle. I don’t want you to hurt yourself anymore."

Inez nodded as she unscrewed the bottle and started taking slow and small sips. But as the chilled water made its way down her throat, she couldn’t help but suck in a breath. Her throat started to burn, and her eyes started to tear up as well. The stress that she had been controlling till now could no longer be controlled. She finally broke down into tears.

The emotions that had been tangled within her finally found the release they had been waiting for. She reached out and hugged Killian, quite forgetting that she needed to stay away from him. With her face buried in his neck, she softly sobbed in his arms. Even though she was trying to hold on, Inez just couldn’t stop herself.

"Shh... It’s all over," said Killian. With his arms wrapped around her, he comforted her softly.

His hand rubbed her on the back as he gently spoke to her. Inwardly, however, he was furious. He wished to kill those who had hurt her all over again. Killian had never seen Inez show such a vulnerable attitude before. Even the first time the two of them met, Inez had looked him in the eyes. Something not many could have done. However, after what happened in the orison, it seemed like she was thoroughly shaken.

"No one is going to hurt you now," Killian spoke to her kindly. His words were gentle and soft, like a warm, fluffy blanket being draped on her shoulders. "You were really brave. You not only survived the ordeal, but you also kept your sister alive and safe. That’s all that matters, bubbles." She was the only one who would think of escaping from the prison cell of the council, he thought to himself.
