Henrietta I gently lowered myself to the floor after they left. It felt like with every step Richard took outside my room, my heart went with him. I felt empty, like I had lost a greater part of me, it was as if my heart left with him. I know I said I severed all ties with him but those were mere words of the mouth, a clear contrast to what my heart yearned to say, my heart yearned to profess its undying love for him and that was undeniable. I love him and no matter how hard I tried to get myself to believe otherwise, to believe that all we had were mere fragments of the mind, infatuations which we mistook to be something real, the more I hurt myself, the more my heart gets torn into shreds and sink over and over again. The more sad I became. “Why!!!” I shouted in anguish, asking no one but nature as though they could answer. “Why do every little ray of hope get taken away from me!” I screamed at the top of my lungs while placing my hands on the floor as I remained on my knees.

Henrietta I was freezing. I never knew these rooms were as cold and unfavorable as this. No wonder everyone dreaded even getting within these walls. The bugs, the ant bites and torturous breeze, but all the while I have spent two days here. Two terrible days of my life, what a way to mark a birthday! I have neither seen Gwendolyn or anyone since the day I was locked here. She is probably being taught the dos and don’ts of the counsel. Father hasn’t been here either, I guess he has forgotten about me already. This is ridiculous!!! Is he really going to keep me here after the entire celebration or what? I held tight onto the iron doors of the dungeon and shook it repeatedly with all my strength, “Get me out of here!!!” I shouted at the top of my lungs but my voice only echoed around me and that was all. “Somebody, anybody!” I yelled and I carried the bench which I was supposed to be sitting on to the door. After making sure it was perfectly placed to carry my weight, I stood on it

Richard "Nana!" Chloe shouted in excitement as she rushed towards the door of the small house. "Nana!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs as she got to the door and was thrown open by an average robust woman who wore a blue button up dress that flowed loosely around her stomach down to her ankle. "Chloe?" The woman asked, pushing her glasses so they were properly close to her eyes, "Niña, is it really you?" The woman asked in a sad voice but she was rather too excited to be sad even though she was sniffing, "Yes, Nana, it's me." Chloe said in an excited voice as she wrapped her arms around the woman in a warm embrace. "I thought I'd never see you again." The woman cried as she began to pepper kisses all over Chloes' face. I've never seen her blush ever or be as excited as she was right now. It was a beautiful sight, watching the reunion but soon, the woman's eyes traveled to me and she gently tapped Chloe who seemed to have forgotten about me, on the shoulder and made her turn.

RichardLeaving Chloes’ Granny's home, is a decision I was so close to regretting because I haven't been able to find my way yet and the sky doesn't look friendly at all. Rumbling sounds of thunder filled my ears and I knew it was just a couple minutes until it started raining and there was no sign of shelter anywhere around here. I was in the middle of nowhere, trying to find my way even though I had no idea what route leads to where. I had to keep walking straight, that way if I lost my way, I'd just turn around and walk back to Chloe.There was a sudden loud noise which sounded like people whispering and footsteps but when I looked around, I couldn't find anything as I was surrounded by nothing but trees, tall trees on every side I turned but I could still hear them. Instantly, I began to walk towards where the sound came strongly, walking carefully so as not to make a noise just in case they were harmful.“A bunch of dried woods and herbs for the physician,” I heard a soft femin

Henrietta“It's been a whole day and no one has noticed you're out of the dungeon.” Chloe stated, “Is that how deserted down there has become or it only got deserted after you were imprisoned?” She asked all the while I remained in the library with her. “I don't know. I need to go to Richard, especially after someone deserted him on her supposed mission to keep him safe.” I sassed before rolling my eyes at her, “How long do we have until we leave this room, I'm hungry, tired and need to be wit…”“With Richard as soon as I can, I know, I know.” Chloe said, finishing my statement before I could. “We need to wait until nightfall before we leave and we would have to use the front gate, It'd be a lot easier.” She explained and I let out a sigh before holding my jaw in my palm.“We leave tonight.” I said to her and she nodded but there was a sudden whispering outside the door, “I thought you said sounds don't leave the room or come in?” I asked chloe as the voices became a lot more audibl
