A Knight On Shining Crutches || Lyra & Jo
Lyra glanced down at her phone again as she turned down the street Jo supposedly lived on. Kaia had dropped her off at home to pick up her own car to go find Cecelia, offering to come along, but Lyra knew her friend was exhausted after the encounter with Davenport, not to mention quelling the bleeding from the cut on her arm and placing multiple protection charms and enchantments on her. Plus, he had gotten what he wanted, so it was unlikely they’d see him again- at least not that same night,
Screeching to a halt in front of the house, she hobbled up to the front door as quickly as she could, her own body protesting from overuse, but she couldn’t stop until she found her. She wouldn’t. All she could think of were the cuts and bruises littering Cecelia’s skin, marring her precious body, and the though alone powered her through the pain, giving her a strength and courage she’d never had before.
“Jo! Are you in there?” She yelled, banging on the door, her heart racing. “Jo? JO!!” What if he’d been lying? What if he was keeping her hostage? Or what if Jo was working with him? It was hard to imagine, but why else would Cecelia be in her custody. As she banged on the door, not caring about how late it was, she decided that it didn’t matter, as long as she was in that house.
