Then nothing but darkness as sleep enveloped her until she walked into a dark room without any windows. She wrinkled her nose at the stale smell of blood and oh... it was horrible.

Matthias sensed the anxiety brewing within Emma as he asked, "Emma, how are you? Are you starting to accept me? Our new world?"

Her knees buckled and she fell to the ground.Matthias rushed to her and whispered, "Is it truly that bad? Am I such a monster that you hate me?"With trembling lips, she looked into his eyes.

Emma stuttered from fear and anxiety.He barked at her, "You should be scared and let's just hope Katana has already arrived."Watching Matthias frantically pacing this dungeon room, she gasped as she realized where she was and asked, "Matthias, now? Do I use the spell now?""Is this the room that you were in with Katana?"Emma was so confused as she looked at her normally calm mate. His anxious behavior rattled her.
