"Are you okay now?" He asked after a while. I lifted my head, met his eyes, and nodded. "Good." He continued, "Now just let me tell you a little secret I found about. You can break your word for those you consider true. And I quote, "The one and only exception to the law is when talking to those you consider you're true friends." end quote."
"I know that if I had one true friend in my life, you'd be it. But how do you know?"
"You said earlier that you can't force yourself to, in this case, tell what you promised not to. Well, you can't. But telling a true friend everything is natural."
I thought about it for a moment before saying anything. "I...I...I can't!" The tears started again, "I'm sorry, you are a true friend and I don't deserve it! My inability to say anything has nothing to do with my promise anymore. It's just...he...I..."
Kyle's arm tensed, causing me to stop. He spoke softly. "did Caleb do something? Harm you in any way?" He met my eyes when I looked up again, they were protective again. I was still leaning against him, his arm still tense
I opened my mouth to reply, but before I could, another portal opened. Caleb stepped and, after a tiny fraction of a second that I saw the harmful intent in Kyle's eyes, was pinned to the wall, Kyle's hand at his throat.
Kyle was really angry, it eminated from him and surprised me into shock. "What did you do to her?" Kyle growled at him.
"You're Kyle, right?" Caleb replied calmly, "The kid who became a warrior today?" Kyle grimaced and Caleb smirked as he continued. "Well then, the laws apply to you now. And you must obey me as your prince. And I order you to release me!"
