[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
“The key… the crown… believe me…”
I couldn’t take my eyes away from Dominic, who was still unconscious on the floor, his head shaking gently as he murmured the words in repeat. I wanted to check on him, to feel his sweaty face with my hand but Devon and Diana were around me, wrapping their arms around me as they trembled in fear.
“How are we going to get out of here, Mom? What happened? Where’s the cabin?” Devon asked as soon as he recovered from what happened to him. I pulled his face closer to mine to check on him more thoroughly, and I noticed that he was still pale with slightly purplish lips, which made my heart sink into my stomach.
“We’ll look for a way how to get out of this cage, sweetheart. I just need you to stay with your twin, and both of you, watch over your Dad, okay? I’ll go help your uncle Killian.”
Diana held me tight as she buried her face on my thigh. ”No, Mom. PLease just stay here with us. I am scared!”
