Chapter 6

“Please!” I hear the voice again. I turn around in panic mode, the person sounds so fragile. I look around the whole room, but I cannot see a thing. Why can’t I smell her? Is it all in my head? But as I give up, I notice a small bulge on what seems like a bed. I walk slowly towards it, the wooden floor screeches due to my weight. I bend down and take the torn blanket away from the bulge. I gasp at the sight before me, a tiny person, a tiniest lady, lies there. Her breathing so faint, it’s like she will give up on life any moment from now. Her dress is covered in blood, weirdly I can’t smell it.

I kneel so that I can take a good look at her. She looks extremely pale, her eyes are closed. I can see her shivering. My heart feels so hurt all of a sudden. How come she is here all alone, hurt like this? Is this the reason why Caleb’s heart was beating so rapidly? How could they let such a young girl all alone in this godforsaken attic? Thank goddess I came here, she would have died
