“Yeah, thanks,” Santiago said and followed Rylan to the room.

Rylan turned around and faced Santiago.
"What's wrong." She asked softly.

Santiago avoided her gaze and glanced down, running a hand through his hair. “It’s my mother,” he said softly, “She’s grown I’ll woth worry ever since she heard about me rebelling. My father said that Alec visited them and he-“ he paused, trying to remember the word. “Threatened them.”

Rylan's soft amber eyes turned hard and dangerous at the sound of Alec's threat.
"Threatening them." She mumbled. A rush of memories flooded her mind. What had happened to her family could not happen to Santiago's. "I'm so sorry, Santiago."

Santiago shifted the weight on his heels and glanced towards the floor. “I’m sure they’ll be okay,” he murmured softly, just having traces of hope. Alec couldn’t hurt innocents like that, could he?

"I'm going to do something about this. They can't hurt your family too." Rylan ran a hand through her hair nervously, her eyes full of guilt. {You finally did it. . . his family is going to get hurt, all because of you} She thought. It pained her to see Santiago so sad.

Santiago leaned back against a wall, running a hand through his hair. “Is there really anything we can do right now?”

"I can figure something out." Rylan replied, trying to give him some hope. She couldn't say the plan out loud. Santiago would never let her do it if he knew.

Harlow poked her head in. “Hey, are you guys hungry? Cause I made food.”

"Sure . . ." Rylan turned to look at Santiago.

Santiago bit his lower lip and nodded slowly. He was about to reach out and take her hand when Harlow came in and he dropped his hand back to his side. “Maybe in a moment.”

“Great. If you need to finish something up, I’llnbe waiting in the room on the left!”

"We'll be out soon," She motioned to the shelves and smiled. "We still need to get those disguises."

“Alright!” Harlow waved again and left.

Rylan turned back towards Santiago. "I promise, I won't let anything happen to your family."

Santiago now reached out and loosely took her hands in his. He exhaled softly. “There’s nothing we can do from here. We’ll figure something out.”

"Surely there's something Alec wants. . ." Rylan trailed off. "What happened to my family can not happen to yours."

“He just wants us to show ourselves. He knows how important my family is to me. I feel like his threats are shallow, and hopefully I’m right about that,” Santiago said slowly, his grip on her hands tightening.

"It'll be alright." Rylan said, stepping closer to him. She rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb. "We can stop him."

“I really hope so,” Santiago murmured, his eyes sad and full of guilt. He look down at their hands and released a shuddering breath.

"They won't get hurt, I promise." Rylan hesitantly pulled him into a hug. It hurt her to see Santiago like this.

Santiago nodded slowly and quickly embraced her back tightly. The tension in his shoulders loosened slightly. He leaned into her embrace and sighed.
