Ch 6; why isn't he coming?
Just after he let Viktok leave , Conri could not get his mind straight , his heart was racing so bad on his way back to his house. This whole thing was happening because of him. He made Kyra unsafe , most of all the things she had faced and still facing had started solely because of him, but he had also come there in other to save her, *who was he kidding ?* Even being near her was threatening enough. Would she and her sisters be better without him being there ? He asked himself, as far as he knows , they had been living quite better on their own before he showed up.
He would choose to protect her away from her new pack , but he could not live another day without her beside him , he would do all he can to get her back , and help her and her sisters stay alive . If that would be counted as selfish , he didnt care.
He took the stairs on the front porch in twos , realized he had not even bother locking his front door before he dashed out to look for Viktor the intruder , he walked up the stairs to his room , to where he left his phone and dialed Kiran's phone , he needs him to find out what has been going on with Dante , and why Viktor was there that morning.
He has known Viktor to be very straight forward even though he had chosen the wrong side, and he had never found him to have a reason to lie , so he really could not get his head around why he was there in the first place if it was not because of Kyra. But he had said that , he would be betraying his beliefs if he does not take his words for it. They are men of their words. He looked over at Kyra's house through his window , he didn't see anyone. Although he had promised to come over to the house early that morning , it was not going to be possible now , he needed to stay on the phone with Kiran until he irons things out. He would see her when he knows what the heck was going on.

" Kyra , i thought you didn't want him to come here at all , why are you going on and on about why he isn't coming ? I want to have peace " Lola warned her sister the eleventh time , it was evening now , and the only thing that she had been saying all day was why he has not come.
" He said he would come ! why did he have to lie ? He said his house was near here , didn't he ? so why is he not here? " Kyra said again looking angry and distress at the same time.
" If you are so worried , why don't you go find him ? I am sure he has his reasons for not showing up. Or just call him "
" No i am not calling him , by the way i dont have his cell phone number. If he wants to come let him come, i don't even want to see him " she replied clearly upset, but she was not speaking to them about her feelings.
Lola went closer to her sister , now calm " Tell us , what is wrong with you? I do not like to see you this way , i can feel it inside of me the pain you are going through , tell me ? what happened back home ? what happened that day ? " Her voice even calmer now with no sign of accusation in them , accusation not even visible in her eyes , but Kyra wanted the floor to open up right there and swallow her up , she would rather not say anything , not them knowing what she had to do.
" No , No please dont ask me , don't ask me now , i am not ready yet , everything is going to change completely once i tell you , its okay enough for me that you are my safe haven, please don't let that change"
" We ask only because we love you " her voice gentle.
" No , don't ask . I know you love me , and i am grateful but dont don't ask. When i am ready , i will tell you first" She started to go on her way to her room , then paused " Don't worry about dinner , i will come back down if i need one "
"Okay. . . Kyra , i hope you know we are here for you "
" Yes i know , thank you " Kyra dragged herself up , tears in her eyes , she could not talk about what was locked deep inside her mind already , she shut the door of her mind completely preventing herself from doing something drastic. She would never be free of what has happened , she would never be free of herself , she would never be free of Conri KESSLER.
She opened the door to her room and just rested on it , she stayed there for about a few seconds and made her way to her bed.

It was not until night time that he was able to go see Kyra again, the thoughts of what Viktor had told him that morning were still hitting on his mind as he made his way towards her balcony. *more enemies will come , my friend, and they all won't look like enemies* those words have been ringing in his head , making the blood in his veins boil. He had told him that he would find any one who would dare touch Kyra , he would find them, kill their families and even their close friends. Even though he knew that would only hold them for a while , he knew Dante would not mind loosing a few people , it has happened again and again.
He looked up at the foundation of the house , it stood tall and of course Kyra 's room was at the last floor , it was quiet as usual , but not all the lights were off. He was careful not to call any of the sisters attention , and it took no more than a minute to get to her balcony , he found the railing and stayed there for a few minutes , listening to sounds of anyone who might be hanging around. Or incase Viktor or anyone of those enemies he talked about returned.
He walked in the doors of the balcony , they were not locked , his heart began to beat real fast as he got in the centre of the room , it was as if lightening was passing signal through to his heart. He was not sure if it was because of the danger she was calling to herself by carelessly opening down the door to her balcony to any potential enemy or because he was finally in the same room with her.
Kyra laid on her bed , covered in what seem to be a heap of blankets, her midnight black hair ruffled across the pillow and pooled on the bed. He made absolutely no sound as he made his way across the room unto her large bed, he silently placed himself on her bed. He looked at her face , her eyes were closed and it looked like she had been crying , but when she opened her eyes reacting to his presence, there were not tears anymore , only anger mixed with panic filled her eyes. She launched at him , but he got her first and slammed her back on the bed, growling at her " You don't want to wake up your sisters " Just that moment, the rage flooded in , the anger he didn't realize he had been nurturing, maybe the events of that day added to it , or maybe it was her careless actions to the dangers around her. But more than that it was the fact that she was so hellbent on not giving him a chance, the fact that she was not even giving him any opportunity to talk or any chance for explanations.
Conri slowly calmed himself , and released the hold on her hands , careful not to cause her anymore harm.
Kyra stared up at him , stared up at his face and really focused on it , she loved his face , loved the angles and the way they appear and speak loudly of hardships, but now it was different , the eyes that looked down at her means business. " Oh you mean you don't want me to wake them up , because then what you have come here to do would be turned into a waste of time "
He released the grip on her then " Okay then , Kyra go ahead and scream, scream you lungs out if you may , but i just want you to know i am not in the mood to be generous this night " He leaned down across the bed to remove his shoes " And know this , it will be all on you if anything happens tonight , i am just too tired to care" he rest his head as if prepared to sleep himself.
" What do you think you are doing ? " She brought herself up , her eyes filled with anger.
" I just said it , i am to tired to care about anything , i want to sleep "
" On my bed ?"
" Yes , on your bed , you have no idea what i have had to go through all day , i think a little rest is not so much to ask for "
" You are joking Conri , this must be a complete joke, you don't think you can actually walk your way into my bed as if nothing has happened between us , right ? Get up now before i loose my temper , you have no idea how i am when i loose my temper "
" Oh i know all right , and i absolutely love it , the way your nostrils flare up , and boiling red , yeah i know and i absolutely love it " he was teasing her but she was clearly not having any fun at all. She tried to get her robe on the other side of the bed , but he was faster than her, he took the robe and flung it across the room on the far end. Where she would not be easily be able to get it , unless she gets out of bed , and he was not going to let her.
