LYRA'S POV
I feel Kymon's palm on the small of my back, which makes shivers run through me. I don't know if he meant he wants to lock me up here or something else, but the way his almond eyes, reflecting with flames, are staring into the abyss of torture, a smirk gracing his lips—I have a bad feeling about this.
There are two things that make Kymon smirk: watching someone in pain and causing someone pain.
"What does this have to do with Bryn?" I ask, looking away from the darkness and at him.
"I thought I did spare her accomplices' lives for a while," he looks at me and his smirk widens. "I'm sure you'll recognize them very well. I mean, one of them was the reason Henry got to you in the first place."
Cassie.
I don't have time to say anything when he pushes me forward with his hand still on my back. I walk into the dimly lit abyss, and the moment Kymon and I are in, the sound of metal scrapes through the ground and the gate is closed.
