Celine The door was slammed shut behind me and the sound echoed through the room like drumbeats of doom in my head. The guards dragged me forward, the grip tight and their hands felt like iron clamps on my arms. My legs felt like water under me, every of my streets drained along with the blood Charles had stolen from me. Every step we took toward his room was a struggle and every breath started of bitter defeat. We finally got to his chamber. It was big and cold despite the fire that was burning in the chimney in the corner of his room. The air smelled of smoke and him, that scent that might have been enticing to another, big to me it was choking and pulled with nothing but cruelty. I thrashed weakly shanty them as they pushed me into the big bed, the dark sheets feeling like a trap as my skin came in contact with it. “Let go of me!” I yelled as I gasped and still kept fighting against their grip. But it was useless. Charles had taken too much blood and the loss was making me sl

Celine The first thing I saw when my eyes slowly blinked open was red. A crimson glow seeped into the room through the tall, arched windows of Charles’s kingdom. The light was sickly, unnatural and it bathed everything in its creepy red color. The walls that were once stone cold now seemed to come alive with a faint, bloody sheen. And I pushed myself upright with my heart pounding as my stomach twisted into knots and swallowed the breath that was stuck in l my throat. Up in the sky and above the windows, the blood moon was hanging full and heavy as if it was watching, or better still waiting. Like a red eye over this cursed land. I shivered even though it was not from cold. The room was warm, almost burning and yet that chill, the one that crawled down your spine when you knew death was near, settled over me. And then I realized it. My wrists. My ankles. There were no chains. No cuffs and no restraints. For the first time since Charles had dragged me into this night

Celine The night air was thick with the smell of smoke and something that smelled like it was rotting. The stench of Charles’ kingdom settled over me like a thick blanket. It was not impossible for me to sleep, not after the dream I had and the scene I had witnessed. That poor child. His blood seemed to stain my hands and no matter how many times I had scrubbed them raw in the bathroom that was in the chamber I was now in, it didn’t leave. I started pacing around the room, my heart pounding wildly against my chest, my mind racing with different questions I had no answer to. How much longer could I survive here? How much longer could I let this horror unfold before I was completely broken and ruined? I couldn’t stay in this room. At least not tonight. A strange feeling made me leave the room, my steps quiet and my breathing silent. The halls were empty… too empty. Even the usual people who watched me in silence , the guards and even the servants who were always creeping in the

Celine I had no idea how long it had been since I was in there, and I was brought out of my swaying thoughts when I heard the door open. The mirrored walls had been my only companions, they were silent, shifting and cruel. They showed me endless visions of Kaiden falling, Kaiden forgetting and even Kaiden’s dead body. I towed to remind myself each time they weren’t real and I tried to hold tight to my memories of him. His touch. His voice and even his smell. But the longer I stayed there, the more those memories faded as if the mirror was taking them from me drop by drop, like water from a cracked cup. So when I heard the door open, the sound was a thunderclap in my motor and my heart jumped with hope but froze with dread. Because it was him. It was Charles. He walked inside, the mirrored door closing silently behind him. His reflection multiplied in the endless glass, so that he was everywhere at once. His dark cloak whispered against the floor. His golden eyes gleaming wit

KaidenThere was no training today because Zeke had to acquire something important and had taken Sylver with him on this mysterious search.When he got back, I was asked to come to the ground floor for a meeting and there he gave me a vial of a greenish liquid.“What is this?” I questioned with confusion, the vial still clutched in my palms as I tried to make sense of the situation.“This should be able to heighten your bond for you to better search for Celine,” he explained and I gave the vial a skeptical look.“This?” I question, my voice filled with clear and glaring disbelief..“Yes, it's a strong potion. You would have to drink it to be able to locate her whereabouts or get a meaningful clue,” he explained and I nodded, the idea seemingly more better now that I knew it would help me search for Celine and without any further words being said.“But we need to tread very carefully, we don't know what you might encounter,” Damien said from beside me and Zeke nodded before I did too.
