"Kiva!" Skye is calling for me but I know I have to talk to him now. So I keep running. Running toward the elevator.
I turn a corner hurriedly and in the process bump into someone. "Lady Kiva!" I hear her call my name. It's Isis. "Lady Kiva, are you alright?" she asks as she holds me up and stops me from falling.
"I heard you had returned to your chambers so I was on my way to see you." She's already heard? But I just woke up. I guess news flies fast.
"Lady Isis, I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry I need to—"
"Go to the king? I was just with him and he has some business outside the palace. He just left." She says.
My lashes flutter and my breathing is slowly aligning. I stare at her speechless. He was with her this morning. Was he with her through the night? I can only wonder.
I yank my hand out of hers with more force than I intended. But I'm not sorry for doing so. I'm not even in the mood to be sorry.
"Lady Kiva I—"
