489 Where It All Began

Anastasia was lying on the bed like a lifeless doll who was stripped of all emotions after getting a taste of how it feels like to be a human.

She was once again locked up in the same guest room from where Ruby had helped her escape. Ruby, on the other hand, was locked back in the cold cell of the dungeon even when Anastasia had begged that Ruby be kept together in her room until she regained consciousness.

“Only a fool would let you two be together after the stunt that you two pulled today.” That was what Regulus said as he carried Ruby away on his shoulder.

After everything that happened tonight, Anastasia’s mind drifted so far away that she didn’t notice the muffled screams and light thudding noises coming from outside her room. She only noticed that something was off when she heard a light click of her door lock.
