Chapter 188 It‘s a rescue mission
Doris led Enzo through the house as silently as she could. They looked over every corner and tried totake paths that wouldn‘t lead them straight to one of Martin‘s guards. This wasn‘t the palace, she couldn’tpretend to be a maid and blend in with the crowd. They all knew exactly who she was, and where shewasn’t supposed to be.
“Do you think they‘ll work it out?” Doris whispered to Enzo as they crouched in a corner. Two guardslingered down the hallway they needed to pass through and were taking their sweet time to move on.
“Some people are never meant to be in each others lives, even if they‘re related.” Enzo said quietly withhis eyes on the guards. “I think if they want to work it out, they will. But it might take years before they getto a place where they‘re okay. I was almost afraid to leave them alone together, but William wanted youout of there.”
“I know that deep down William wants that sort of connection. I can see it on his face.” Doris said sadly.The guards down the hall started to finally move towards the exit. “Perhaps one day they can replace thatwith each other. Or at least some sort of peace. I know he cares so much for Daniel.” .
“Their issues are so deep into the surface, I fear they would drown with one misstep. I‘m not sure if eitherof them are capable of healing each other. But Daniel is a different story. I‘m sure there‘s plenty of hopethere once he forgives William for all of this.”
Enzo gripped her hand and led her across the hallway silently. Once they were through the doors, Dorisstopped him. “I have no idea how to get to the lower cells, what if we‘re going the wrong way?”
“We won‘t know the right way until we try.” Enzo pulled a knife from his belt and pressed it into her palm.“Use it if any of them try to grab you. Do not hesitate because they wouldn‘t hesitate for you.”
“Thank you. My wolf is still sleeping, I don‘t know when she‘ll wake.” Doris sighed and rubbed her chest.
Enzo looked at her strangely until it seemed to hit him. “They have the drugs that the rogues used onyou? I wasn‘t told that the kingdom had any sort of supply here.” +
“Martin said that his mother got them from the rogues, I‘m not sure how much they have or if they usedmost of it on me.” Doris whispered. They walked briskly down the empty hall and paused at the end.
“Just be careful, we don‘t want them to inject you any more. The drug hasn‘t been tested enough. I don‘tknow how bad of an outcome it will have on your wolf if you get too much in your system at once. Shemight never wake up if they overdose you.”
Doris widened her eyes, but he gestured for her to stay quiet. They hurried down the next hallway andstopped at a door near the end. Cautiously, Doris opened it and saw a set of stairs that led down. “Itmight be down here. I didn‘t even know there were cellars until he said he put Beth in one. He showedme everything else about this house but conveniently left that out.” Doris muttered.
Enzo gripped her hand and led her down into the darkness, careful not to let her fall. “Did your maid doanything that caused him to do this? Martin didn‘t seem the type to throw random maids into cells.”
“No! She‘s the kindest person I know. He only did it because he knows how much she means to me.”Doris paused when she heard someone’s steps approach them. Enzo pulled her into a shadowy holeand held her still until they passed.
Enzo gestured for her to follow. They stayed low to the ground as they hurried along the walls. Shewanted to take her boots off and throw them because they sounded so loud, but it wouldn‘t be wise. Sheneeded sturdy boots in case they had to run. Still, it made her cringe every time she took a small step.
Enzo gripped Doris to stop when they hit another corner. At the end were three tall guards that stood infront of a metal door. Doris could only guess that was where the cells were located. Even from theoutside it looked dark and unfriendly. It all only made her want to reach her friend sooner and free herfrom the scary darkness.
“What do we do? It doesn‘t look like they‘re going to leave.” Doris whispered to Enzo.
He looked in thought at the guards as if he was trying to solve a puzzle in his mind. He suddenly grippedher shoulder and pushed himself up. “Stay here, they‘ll recognize you immediately if you come with me.I‘ll try to talk to them.”
“Enzo, they will know who you are and will know that you‘re not meant to be there.” Doris hissed, but hewas already stepping out into their line of view
Instantly, the guards were on alert when they saw Enzo. “Sir, what are you doing down here? This areais forbidden.”
“I seemed to have gotten turned around from my group. Do you know where the main ballroom is?” Enzoasked as he kept getting closer to them. It set Doris‘s heart into a race.
Her heart banged in her ears, but not loud enough to prevent her from hearing something behind her. Alarge hand reached out to grab her, but she was faster. She moved out of his grasp and turned to seeone of the guards from the ballroom glaring at her.
“You‘re not supposed to be down here!” His booming voice alerted the guards that Enzo was supposedto be distracting. Enzo immediately dodged their blows and stuck his knife in one of them before theycould do the same to him.
The large man tried to grab her, she ducked under his arm and grabbed the knife at his belt.
“You sneaky little bitch!” He growled. He grabbed Doris by her hair and she stabbed him in the arm withhis own knife. His screams could have torn down buildings. He shoved her away from him and pulled theknife out to send blood gushing from his wound.
“Get her!” He screeched. Two of the guards tried to break off away from Enzo, but he tackled one ofthem to the ground before they could reach her.
“Hasn‘t anyone ever told you to pick on someone your own size?” Enzo said as the guard shoved himoff.
Doris took the knife Enzo gave her and pulled it out right when the other guard cornered her. He lungedto grab her arms before she could stab him, but he was too late. She plunged the knife into his stomachand he went down with a heavy thud.
The large man brought her to the ground when her back was turned. He slammed her head against thefloor and made her see stars for a moment. She heard the sound of Enzo‘s grunts and knew he was toodistracted to help with her.
She had to save herself.
The man wrapped his hands around her throat, but she knew he wouldn‘t kill her. Martin wanted heralive, she had that advantage:
The knife from the kitchen was still inside her belt. He tried to rid her of consciousness, but Doriswouldn‘t make it easy for him. She thrashed her body and kicked at his most sensitive area. He calledher
every name in the book, but nothing sounded better than his silence when she stabbed him in the neck.
His eyes went wide, and she had a feeling she would see them in her nightmares with all the rest. Blooddripped down the wound, she shoved him off her and he fell like he weighed a thousand pounds.
Doris still heard the sound of Enzo‘s struggling. It was the only thing that cleared her mind from goingsomewhere dark where she couldn‘t return from.
Doris gripped the knife and pulled it out of his neck before she got up and hurried towards Enzo. Hestruggled with a guard who held a knife inches from his throat, the other guard was already down with hiseyes staring up lifelessly at the ceiling.
Doris snuck up behind the guard and stabbed him in the back without another thought. His grip on Enzoslacked instantly, Enzo finished the job by shoving the knife deep into his chest and pushing him off him.
Enzo’s wild eyes were wide as he looked at Doris. Slowly, he pushed himself up off the ground.
“You just saved me.” He whispered. “I always knew you were a badass.”
