Chapter 282 Start Small
Kyra crashed into the bed as Benjamin threw her aside effortlessly. She quickly got back to her feet, her anger boiling over. "What do you mean! What do you want from Damon?" she shouted at him, her voice trembling with both anger and desperation. But Benjamin only smiled gently, as if her struggle amused him.
"Don’t try to escape, sweetcheeks," he said, his tone light yet threatening as he made his way out of the room. He locked the door behind him, leaving Kyra alone in the unfamiliar space. She heard the sound of the bolt sliding into place, trapping her within the suffocating room.
Kyra stood there, her chest heaving as the reality of her situation set in. She ran to the door, banging her fists against it in frustration. "Come back here! You can’t keep me locked in here!" But there was no response, just the cold silence that echoed back at her.
She stumbled back, her legs shaking. Desperation clawed at her mind. What did Benjamin want with Damon? It couldn’t just be jealousy—it was something far more sinister. She couldn’t afford to wait around and let him play out his twisted plan.
With a bitter curse, she turned away from the door and scanned the room again.
Her heart raced at the thought of Damon—her Damon. Was he safe? Was Lucas and Vincent okay? Images of the last time she saw them flashed through her mind, their faces pale, their expressions filled with worry. She couldn’t stand the thought of being away from them while they were in danger. She needed to do something—anything—to get back to them.
Her super powers felt distant, muted, as if something was blocking her connection to them. The place felt suffocating, a cage designed to hold her.
Kyra paced around the room, frustration and fear gnawing at her. She glanced at the window again, then shook her head. The foggy land outside, teeming with shadows and horned monsters, was a deathtrap. She wasn’t naïve enough to think she could fight her way out without her powers.
"Damn it!" she muttered under her breath, slamming her fist into the wall. I can’t let him get away with this.
She wasn’t going to give up. Even if her powers were blocked, even if Benjamin had the upper hand for now, she refused to let him win. She would find a way out—no matter how long it took, no matter how difficult. Damon and Lucas needed her. And she would stop at nothing to get back to them.
With determination, she began searching the room, her eyes carefully scanning for anything that could help her. Her mind raced through possibilities, trying to piece together some kind of plan.
