Leilani.
"For how long do you intend to pretend to have fainted?" I asked coldly, ignoring the way my voice echoed through the quiet space like something out of a horror movie.
My eyes snagged on her pale face and then down to her lips which for some reason had begun to turn into a weird shade of purple, and then I rolled my eyes.
"You’re pretending to be unconscious? You want to pity your way out of this as if you’re not satisfied with everything else that you did?" I sneered.
But still, nothing.
"How did you feel after you killed Jarek? You said that no one else could have him if not you, and you got that. So tell me, how did you feel?" I rushed out, and strangely, the more I talked, the angrier I became; and the fact that she was deciding not to respond made me even angrier.
In annoyance, I marched over to the metal bars separating us, grabbed onto the cold railings and yelled; "open your damn eyes, Keisha!"
She didn’t respond. She didn’t even move.
And goddess, for a weird reason, that made my heart skip a beat.
I froze only for a second before my hands slowly left the bars and I took a step back to take a good look at her.
There was nothing strange. Nothing out of place.
So I cleared my throat and muttered; "This is not funny, Keisha. Open your eyes. Talk to me. I have always wanted to know these things so do not leave me hanging!"
My eyebrows shot into my hairline when my eyes travelled from her face to her chest, and upon realizing that she was no longer breathing— that her chest wasn’t rising and falling no matter how hard I stared or yelled at her— I stumbled backwards and screamed.
The shout tore out from the back of my throat, catching the attention of some of the watch guards parading around the dungeon and before you know it, two had rushed over. My eyes widened when one stepped behind me and held both of my hands behind my back while the other frantically opened the lock to her cell, walked over to Keisha and began to check for her pulse.
There was nothing.
Nothing at all.
Bloody hell!
He turned to me and with cold eyes, seethed; "You killed her."
For a moment, I was so stunned, I couldn’t even make sense of what he had just said to me, but when the realization slowly began to dawn on me, making me realize that this was beyond some child’s play and that this may have been her plan all along, my heart sank into my stomach.
"I didn’t... fuck, I didn’t!" I stuttered, shaking my head. "I didn’t even go close to her beside the one time I had stood too close to her cell!"
"She has been here for about two weeks now, and nothing like this has ever happened until today. How do you explain that?" The guard hissed at me, and frankly, I couldn’t respond.
I mean, how could I?
