Free Descending Darkness (The Prophesized #3) by Kaitlyn Hoyt Page B

amusement.
    “Sorry,” I mumble and look down at the ground, suddenly becoming interested in pulling random blades of grass. I can feel a blush rising on my cheeks. Kyril and Larkin laugh at my reaction. Awkward .
    “Ryanne, this is Kyril. Kyril, this is Ryanne. Kyril’s been giving me little pieces of information about what Dravin is doing. He’s the reason that we were able to get into the compound to rescue you, Colton, and Liam.”
    “Really? He was the one who gave me the note?” I ask Larkin. When he nods, I turn toward Kyril. “Thank you.” If they had gotten to the compound any later, it may have been too late for me to heal Colton. I don’t know all the rules about healing someone after they die, but I’m sure you don’t have much time.
    “You’re welcome. I don’t agree with what Dravin’s doing any more than you do, but I don’t have an easy way out at the moment. Dravin hasn’t tried to kill me yet,” he looks over at Larkin, “so I’m just doing little things that may be of help.”
    “We really appreciate it. Just don’t do anything that will get you in trouble. Saving one Gadramick is enough for me.” I glare over at Larkin who gives me his arrogant smile.
    “I’ll do what I can,” Kyril laughs at our interaction. Larkin and I bicker like siblings. He is annoying, arrogant, and possibly more stubborn than I am, but I trust him completely. He won’t do anything that will hurt me intentionally. “But the reason I wanted to talk to you is to warn you.”
    “I already know that Dravin is looking for me,” I tell him.
    “There’s more. Dravin’s incredibly pissed at what happened last time you were here. He’s no longer going to try and get information out of you. He’s going to try and take your magic. If he can’t, he’ll just kill you.  Obviously, he would rather get your magic because it will make him much stronger. However, he just wants you out of the picture because you’re his only real threat.”
    Stay away from Dravin. Got it.
    “One more thing. He knows that you rescued Natalie and Conner. He needs Natalie because like you, she can push her magic out which means that it can be separated from her body and she’ll still survive. He wants more magic, and he’ll get it from anyone he can. Make sure to keep her safe.”
    Natalie can push her magic out too? So, that’s why Natasha attacked them. I knew she wouldn’t do it just because; she had to have a reason. I’ll talk to Liam and Bragden. Maybe Bragden can protect her.
    “So, Dravin will try to get Natalie too? He’s not just trying to get my magic?”
    “Dravin wants magic. He’ll get it from anyone and everyone. Though, he wants yours the most. You have more magic than any of us. If this shield wasn’t around us, they’d know you were here. Those of us who are trained to sense magic can sense yours. It’s very strong. Just be safe, okay? Dravin needs to be stopped.” It is so weird hearing a Gadramick telling me to stop Dravin. He looks toward the door. “I have to go. I’ll get in contact if I find out anything important. Just stay low for a little while. They don’t know where you are, and it needs to stay that way for now.
    “Drop the shield you have around Kyril, Ryanne, but keep one around us,” Larkin tells me. I pull some magic back in, visualizing the shield disappearing around Kyril. I inhale when my magic reenters my body and then nod at Kyril, silently telling him that he can leave. He stands up and casually walks to the door, entering the compound without a problem. Larkin reaches over and grabs my arm. “Drop the shield,” he tells me.
    The second the shield is gone, we transport back to the house into the middle of the living room. Everyone looks shocked at our sudden appearance except for Colton and Liam. Liam has his arms crossed across his chest, annoyed and Colton…At the angered look on Colton face, I smile up at Larkin. “Told you.” He curses and moves me in front of him,
