Lila’s POV
My heart was racing in my chest because of the amount of adrenaline rushing through my veins. I had
never done anything like this before but here I was, breaking somebody out of the hospital.
“I can’t leave without knowing if Ryan is going to make it or not,” Rachel said, sliding out of bed. I could
hear the hurt in her voice, and it made me feel sad for her.
“I’ll keep you updated,” I promised her. “But for right now, I need to get you out of here. I’m going to
call my dad when we are on the road. I won’t let them take you away to that awful place. You almost
died the last time you were there. They should be investigated and shut down.”
I still couldn’t believe a facility in a place that I love could be so cruel to other species. I had no idea
those with dark hearts could linger in Elysium. It was always such a loving place. Or maybe I have just
been too blind to see what was in front of my face the whole time.
I zipped her back and threw it over my shoulder as I made my way to her.
“Do you think you can climb out the window?” I asked.
She rolled her eyes.
“Of course, I can…” she muttered. “I’ve been doing it since grade school.”
I stifled a loud laugh as I opened her window. We were on the second floor, so it was a bit of way down.
But there were ledges on each window that seemed fairly reachable. However, making sure nobody saw
us was going to be hard.
“Use your power to attract the moonlight!” Val exclaimed. “It can blind their view of anything happening
outside.”
That was a great idea!
“Come on,” I said, as I slid out the window and glanced up at the large moon that sat overhead. The
rays of the moon intensified to a point where even I was having trouble seeing. I pulled the rays in the
direction of each window, ensuring that nobody could see outside.

I could almost hear the gasps when they saw the bright light appearing out their windows. Rachel didn’t
seem to notice the brightness though. She seemed to be in a small daze. This was the first time she’d

been walking around in days, and I knew it was going to take a lot to get her out.
I slid back into her room just as she finished getting dressed.
“Are you ready?” I asked, eyeing her carefully.
She nodded but she looked uncertain.
“I feel bad leaving him here…” Rachel said in a sigh as she climbed out the window behind me. She held
onto the ledge easily and followed my lead as we shimmed our way down to the next window.
“They were planning on sedating you and taking you to that awful facility in the morning,” I told her. “I
wasn’t going to let that happen.”
“Woah…” Rachel breathed. “I’m glad you were here then.”
“Yeah… me too…” I said, shaking my head at the very thought.
“The moon is so bright tonight,” Rachel said, squinting up at the move as we continued down the side
of the building to each ledge.
I had to fight to keep the smirk off my face.
Once my feet landed on the ground, I waited for Rachel to jump down as well, then I sent the moon
rays away, thanking them for their help.
My car was only in the parking lot which wasn’t far from where we were. It was dark enough that we
could hide in the shadows until we reach the lot. Now that we were outside, I wasn’t worried about
getting caught.
Rachel trailed closely behind me, and once we were in the light of the lot, we began running toward my
parked car.
Then, I heard my name, and I completely froze.
“Lila?”
I paused and looked in the direction of my name and saw Enzo walking toward me. He looked confused
for a moment but then his face morphed, and he looked furious.
“When were you going to tell me that you were going to Monro?!” He snarled.
I sucked in a sharp breath.
How did he find out about that?
I opened my mouth to say something, and he spoke again.
“I spoke to your father earlier and—”
“Professor Enzo?” Rachel asked, raising her brows. I almost forgot she was standing behind me. “Is
everything okay?”
“Why are you out of bed?” Enzo asked, narrowing his eyes at her. “I thought you weren’t supposed to
leave your room after your incident.”
“It’s a long story,” I said before Rachel had a chance to speak. “I can explain it later, but for right now,
we have to go.”
“Go where?” Enzo asked, his brows furrowing together in confusion. “Are you breaking her out of here?”
There was no way I was going to be able to lie to him. He could see through me easily. So, I nodded.
“I’ll explain later,” I said again, turning away and rushing toward my car.
“Get in!” Enzo ordered before I could get further away.
I froze and turned toward him, he had the backseat of his car open, and he was leaning against it with
his arms folded across his chest.
“What?” I asked.
“Wherever you are going, you aren’t in the right state of mind. So, I’ll drive. Get in,” he said again.
I was at a loss for words. I glanced over at Rachel who looked back at me and shrugged.
Without another word, Rachel ran toward Enzo’s car and slid into the backseat where he shut the door
immediately after.
I frowned at him.
“You can sit in the front seat,” he said as he turned away and got into the driver’s seat.
