Damien literally carried me to bed when we arrived at the castle, even when I said I I only wanted to show Pearl the scan and then I'd go nap.

Insisting that I sleep first before anything else, he went as far as quoting Martin. Even promised to stay with me until I woke up.

We cuddled up on the bed and it only took a few minutes for my eyes to feel heavy, his heartbeat like a lullaby.

I felt myself drift, a sudden heaviness drawing me deep into the arms of darkness.

“Hey!” Came a sharp whisper, making me jump awake only to be met with darkness and the feeling of multiple eyes on me.

My heartbeat was the loudest thing I'd ever heard and I couldn't calm down enough to hear anything else.

“Sapphira!” I called out her, even though I knew she couldn't come to me. I just didn't want to be alone, and vulnerable, in this dark place.

“Prinnnnceesesssss” that horrible voice sang, causing a wave of nausea
