I froze as the shadows cleared and I saw the person that had come to the dungeons.
It was Eros.
His eyes widened and he stared at my thorny, waving roots. He cringed slightly.
What the hell was he doing here?
“Is that…” he pointed at Helen.
“What do you want?” I snapped.
Eros cleared his throat, “We need to go. They are coming.”
“Who?”
Before I could react, Eros dodged past the flailing roots. He scooped Helen into his arms.
“Let her go, or I will end you!” I snapped, spinning around and aiming my roots at Eros.
“Really, Mila? Do you want to waste time and fight the entire elite royal guard, or do you want to get out of here?”
I stared at him. He was right. As furious as I was, there was no way I could fight off an entire army and get us out of here easily on my own.
“Follow me, quickly!”
He ran toward the dungeon door and I followed him. There weren't any other better choices at this point.
