Elena heard everything. She was simply preparing the bath of Allani until she suddenly heard yelling from the dining room. It was that loud. Her mind was already in another state especially after hearing what happened to wall Maria. She was worried for her family that lived there, her children. Were they alive? Are they together in Wall Rose? Or were they not able to make it? She didn't know and it didn't calm her nerves knowing that she won't be able to find out anytime soon.

Briskly walking to the source of the yell, she leaned by the door to hear what the commotion was all about but also didn't want to interrupt. "...Elena was more of a family to me than you two ever were." She heard and that brought tears to her eyes now that she knew how Allani viewed her. After all, she took in Allani as if she were her own. She loved her like how a mother would to her child. She heard the footsteps of Allani's father getting louder so she quickly hid herself but made sure they were still within her view. "Don't bring Elena into this father!" She heard Allani beg.

Walking closer and hiding by the walls, once she recognized this path, her heart dropped to her stomach. It was the room where Allani gets tortured and she hated every moment of it. She hated herself for not being able to do anything in this situation but to cower in fear. She stayed near the entrance of the dark room and endured every agonizing cry that escaped Allani's lips.

It felt like hours had passed since the start of Allani's cry of pain and her father finally left the room with disheveled clothes. Once Allani's father was out of her sight, she slowly opened the door so as not to catch anyone's attention and immediately ran to Allani's rescue. "Allani, m'lady." She whispered, hoping to catch the poor girl's attention. This was the worst state she has ever seen Allani in. Not a single part of her skin is clean from blood.

The white haired girl tilted her head as much as she could to find the source of the voice. A small smile on her bloodied face after seeing the familiar figure of Elena. "Elena." Her whisper was a cry for help and of joy once she saw the only person she truly loved as a family.

She attempted to hold onto Elena to ground herself from the void her mind was settling in. However, the chains held her back. "How do I get this off of you?"

"You can't Elena, please just run. My father is going to get you because of what I said. I'm so sorry Elena. I shouldn't have said that." Allani bawled her eyes out in guilt, tilting her head back down because she couldn't bring herself to look at the person she brought in this situation by accident, especially since this person was the one who was there from the beginning. "That I was the only one you found family? Oh m'lady, I am forever proud that the Allani Snow, found me–a mere maid–her family. I will protect you until the end of this world. Now tell me, how do I bring you down?"
