Epilogue – I Believe

She tossed and turned..

The room was filled with darkness, only the moonlight from a high window to see by. Drips echoed, bouncing off the walls as she could see her breath as the temperature dropped. The stonewalls giving no warmth as snow flakes pushed their way in from the high window that had bars across it, removing any chance of escape.

The wooden door was the only way in or out of the room as the wind howled as it circled the room. The hole in the door was filled in with bars across it, just with the window. The reinforced door would take a lot to get through it, the only option would be with the key. Her eyes darted around, looking for a way out before the rested on the only occupant in the room.

Her wrists were chained to the wall, by her head. There was an iron collar around her neck that was chained against the stone as well making it impossible for her to lay on the floor. Her clothes were dirty, covered in mud and sweat. She was slumped, unconscious. Her long brown hair covering her face. She looked as thought she had been there for a long time. She was thin, her shirt almost dropping off her shoulders.

The skin around her wrists was rubbed raw, dried blood down her arms, and her neck was red as her body put pressure on the area, stopping her from slumping to the floor. Her legs her buckled underneath her, with her clothes giving her little protection against the elements. Her breathing was shaky, painful for every breath she took. She was alive, but barely.

She took a step closer, eyes focusing in on the girl's face. Her head moved slightly, her face partially revealed. She gasped, eyes wide with shock. Merlyn.

Screaming, she woke..
