Abby opens her eyes. She is between the arms of the soldier. She makes a small scream and jumps away. He doesn't react. She looks at him hesitant. She scans her surroundings. The five corpses of the soldiers are piling up in the middle of the room. It's a room shaped like a dome. It's all white, bare of any decorations. The walls and ceiling shining like they generate their own light. In the center, there is a broken fountain, made of the same material as the rest of the room. Abby tilts her head. She's seen it before. Lilea.
"Oh Gosh..." she murmurs.
A white hand shuts her mouth from behind. She starts to fight back, swinging her elbows into the ribs behind her, kicking her heels into the shins.
"Shhhh."
She recognises that sound. It calmed her down for her entire life. She turns her face and meets two bright purple eyes. Without realising, she holds her breath. The hand let go of her mouth. Abby turns her entire body to face the Princess. She can't stop staring at her eyes. She slowly brings her hand up and touches Lilea's face.
"You are... You are real." she whispers.
Lilea grabs her hand and smiles. She kisses her palm and strokes her cheek.
"You too..."
Suddenly they hear sounds of steps coming down the stairs. Lilea's eyes open wide, scanning the room. She holds Abby's hand tighter. She sees the stairs where she saw her father for the last time. The steps are getting closer and closer. She looks right into Abby's eyes.
"Run."
