160 Queen Cara

Everyone drops to their knees except for Kian and I. If anything, our mouths drop to the floor. She walks straight to me, ignoring everyone else and pulls me into a large hug while saying "You have no idea how long I've waited for this! I've missed you so much." 

Everyone looks at us in complete shock and confusion but no one says a word. When she pulls back, her smile falters. Her eyes narrow on my stomach as she asks "What happened? Who hurt you?" Everyone in the room tenses as she turns around to look at them.

I strain to bring my brain back online as I struggle to say "I killed them... these are friends. Well, some of them are." As soon as she looks away from them, they silently release their breaths. She looks me over as she says "What did I miss? I tried to calculate the right timing but it seems I was a bit off."
