"Take the little human and confine her to her quarters."
"What?" Islinda’s head jerked up, unable to believe him.
"Don’t worry, little human. I’m only keeping you under my sight and ensuring you don’t have any other tricks up your sleeve considering you’re a big suspect." He claimed.
"No, no, no, please don’t...." Islinda protested.
She intended to investigate Elena and couldn’t do that while being locked up. Not to mention, who knows what Elena would do this time in her absence. What if he gets Aldric to really kill her?
At once, Islinda grabbed his arm, "I want to be with you. Don’t send me away, Aldric." She cried out.
Islinda didn’t care if she would be seen as desperate. No, she was desperate to snap Aldric out of whatever charm he’s under. Things were really critical right now and she was in danger with Elena’s growing influence over Aldric
Aldric was not moved by her request and commanded, "Kalam." He instructed him on what to do with just a mere tilt of his head in Islinda’s direction.
Kalamazoo understood the gesture and started heading towards Islinda who sensed what was about to happen and dread fell over her.
"No, don’t!" Islinda’s warning rang out, her voice laced with urgency as she watched Kalamazoo approach them. Approaching to take her.
"I’m not going anywhere with you!" Islinda declared, her resolve unwavering as she wrapped her legs around Aldric and her arms around his neck, clinging to him like an octopus.
Their position on the floor seemed to work in Islinda’s favor, allowing her to press herself tightly against Aldric, her thighs gripping him firmly.
As Kalamazoo reached them, he hesitated, unsure of how to proceed. Islinda’s body was tightly pressed against Aldric’s, leaving little room for Kalamazoo to intervene without risking an inappropriate touch.
He hovered uncertainly, his hand poised awkwardly in the air as he struggled to find a suitable approach to pull Islinda away without offending Aldric or making the situation worse. Even though Aldric’s behavior has been confusing these past few days, Kalam knew how much Islinda meant to the dark Fae prince.
Islinda’s firm grip on Aldric made it clear that she had no intention of being separated from him. It was either Aldric forget about sending her away or Kalam would have to fight and knock her out before she would let go of Aldric. Kalam was finally able to spot an opening and grabbed Islinda.
But Islinda had been prepared and gritted her teeth hard, hanging onto Aldric. More like suffocating him. When it became clear to Aldric that Islinda would kill him before Kalamazoo took her, he had no choice but to signal Kalamazoo to stop.
"Just let her go please. At this rate, I might die before my time." Aldric coughed.
