Chapter 73 - The Hidden Chamber

Eleanor's P.O.V

How... How can this be?

How can it even been possible?

My eyes have to be deceiving me! It's impossible.

The sight before my eyes is impossible!

My brain told me to run. Run from this place. Pretend I was never here. But, somehow my feet dragged me to the portrait.

The portrait which should have never existed.

How can there be a picture of Daniel and me with a child barely two in my arms!?

My hand reached out for the frame as it traced over the carvings on the frame of the portrait.

{ ELEANOR ELINA CASSIAN DEVIN }

{ CASSIAN DANIEL DEVIN }

{ DANIELLE ERIS DEVIN }

Reading the names all the sirens started ringing in my head as if alarming me. Telling me to run.

Run far away and not to delve further into this chamber which has been hidden away for god knows how long.

But my feet refused to move. I just couldn't take my eyes off the portrait. As if... as if it had enchanted me. Frozen me to the ground. Left me astounded and blank.

Why?
