章 26: Chapter Twenty-six

Ella woke up to the rustling sounds outside her door. She rubbed her tired bleary eyes and slowly got up. Staring back where the window was, she could see that it was still nighttime. Ella wondered who it could be outside. She gently opened the door and saw Mikael. Ella was about to speak when Mikael covered her mouth.

“Don’t,” Mikael said. “I have already decided to help you,” he added. Ella couldn’t contain her happiness and hugged Mikael without making a sound. Mikael awkwardly patted her back.

“Go and change. We will leave this place,” Mikael said. “Make haste; they’ll attack Blaze’s pack in hours,” he added. With this, Ella hurriedly went back inside the room and changed her clothes in the bathroom. She was glad that Mikael changed his mind. Ella thought it was hopeless, but her words might have an effect on him.

Mikael made sure no one will see them get away. He already put a sleeping drug on the helper’s earlier. He watched Ella while she was tying her hair.
