Chapter 33. His Forbidden Secret

Eir’s POV

“Be quiet…”

Someone whispered behind me, but I couldn’t determine who it was. My ears were ringing; my whole head was throbbing and aching. I tried opening my eyes, but they were too swollen. The memories flashed back into my mind, and I started to wiggle and struggle.

“Shush! Don’t make a sound; I’m getting you out of here!”

I felt like I should remember the voice, but I didn’t manage to place a face or name on it. All I wanted was to sleep, sleep, or cry. It didn’t matter; I’d had enough, and right now, right now, everything hurt.

“It’s Astor. I’ve placed a glamor shield in front of you; it will buy us some time! But don’t make a noise!”

He whispered in my ear as he struggled to loosen my hands.

“The sound waves will disturb the shield, possibly break it. There! Follow me!”

He took my hand, and I held it so tight my finger hurt. Don’t leave me here! It was a silent plea. My feet were shaking, and I still didn’t see a thing!
