Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Pride.

Zevran.

If there is one thing I have grown to understand but still cannot wrap my head around no matter how many times I witness it, then it is Leilani’s hardheadedness.

It is how she can take a moment from a flat zero to a scalding hundred in a matter of a few seconds.

And it was how, despite all this, she still managed to retain her air of innocence. And that was exactly what she did after head butting Keisha so hard, the latter stumbled backward and fell into the filthy floor.

Her loud painful screams echoed through the space as she clutched her nose in her hands, and when she finally pulled those hands away from her face, I wasn’t so surprised at the copious amount of blood I found streaming down her nose like running water. Hell, if anything, I expected it.

Her eyes gleamed with anger as she rushed to her feet and I could only watch in confusion and horror as she staggered towards a table filled it different kinds of torture materials.

She rummaged through the table like the devil was hot on her heels, and only pulled away when she picked up a large syringe filled with a clear liquid. And as soon as I saw that, my heart fell.

In panic, my eyes darted over to Leilani’s who surprisingly was already watching me with a calm that felt unsettling. She cast a glance at me, shrugged and muttered something along the lines of: "don’t worry," before turning away to watch Keisha who approached her slowly.

And goddess, I really wanted to ’not worry’.

I really wanted to be as cool as she was. As unaffected and as she seemed.

But I couldn’t.

Not when I knew how deranged Keisha was. Not when the mere thought of anyone with the intention of hurting her being around her filled me with so much worry and anxiety.

My heart raced wildly in my chest and my body shook violently against the chair.

The noise I made caught Keisha’s attention and when she turned to look at me, she smiled— a bloodied sinister smile— and turned away.

"This would be interesting," she drawled, "he would have to watch while I torture you."

I gulped

It was obvious that she was talking to Leilani but I couldn’t help but feel the caress of her words dancing along the length of my body. It made goosebumps spread across my skin and filled me with so much apprehension, I could literally shit my pants if spooked any more than this.

I tried to speak but no words would form, and when my brain finally cleared enough for me to come up with something— anything— it was already too late because at the time, she had already stuck the syringe’s needle into Leilani’s neck and pushed the clear liquid into her body.

My heart fell when Leilani instantly jerked forward, shaking violently with her eyes rolling to the back of her head as she crashed forward.

I jumped right out of my seat as soon as I saw that scene despite promising leilani otherwise, and with a scream, I rushed forward, struck Keisha clean in the midriff and watched as she fell to the floor like a pack of cards.

Her body hit the ground with a loud thump and she immediately went unconscious.

I sighed.

And goddess, this was the part where I would try to loosen the clasps around my brothers’ wrists, right?

This was the part where I should call for help right or do something sane, right?

RIGHT?

But I did not.

I was panicking too much and shaking with so much terror, the only thought I could process was how to save Leilani.

I vaguely heard the voices of my brothers behind me as they tried to talk me into loosening their metal clasps, but at the moment, all I could think about was how Leilani wasn’t breathing.

How she was pale as fuck.

Goddess, please if this is death... if this is the part where she would take her last breath and leave me all alone to continue to live with the burden of her loss, then please take me and save her.
