"No escaping this place, " Falentine whispered in her ear.
"You belong to us now"

A few days had passed since anyone visited her room, besides those who brought her meals. Adelina laid on the bed watching the fan as it spun in never-ending circles. Her thoughts were racing, just as they had every day since she spoke with Asmund.
"People you care about will die"
Those words kept playing in her head, unending, just as the fan spun above her. Her body shook in fear every time somebody would knock on her door.
Please, please, please don't let it be time, she pleaded to herself. But what could she do? She was weak compared to these creatures. How was a weak girlsupposed to stop supernatural creatures and their sacrifices? These thoughtsbrought tears to her eyes and she began to sob in to her pillow, beating at thesoft mattress.
A knock at the door made her jump up and face the source of the sound.
"Come in," she said as she wiped the tears from her eyes and straightened her clothes out.
"Sorry to disturb you, but we have good news." Charles said as he stepped into the room. He was followed by Samuel and Frederick.
"Are you joking? What kind of good news could you possibly share with me?" She laid back down on the bed to watch the fan instead.
"You'll be moving into your permanent room today," Samuel spoke up.
"Permanent," Adelina scoffed.
"Nothing here is every permanent is it? The brothers could easily tire of me. Or how about somebody decides to tell them my blood somehow will resurrect someone or some crap like that.I'm sure there willbe a reason to be rid of me soon enough. And you know what, maybe that won't beso bad. I think I'd rather you all be rid of me instead of keeping me away fromeveryone I care about." Adelina let the bitterness pour out of her.
All three men remained silent and stunned. Finally Samuel cleared his throat.
"Well let's get going to your new room. I think you'll enjoy it. You'll have more entertainment and won't have to sit around staring at a fan spin."
She picked herself up, lazily, off the bed. She lumbered towards the three men and followed them out the door. They walked through the corridor's twisting and turning before they finally stopped down a small hallway with multiple doors. Adelina watched as a guard sidestepped away from a door as they walked up on it.
"This is Edward, but he is only a temporary guard. Frederick, Samuel, and I will be your main guards. Asmund, Falentine, and Taavi's rooms are all down the hall at the end too. Obviously, if there is anything you ever need you will be able to ask. You'll be safe as well." Charles said giving Adelina a reassuring smile.
"Safe? More like watched or guarded. No other way to describe this prison."
Without another word, Charles turned the knob and they entered into a large room. The room had been painted a beautiful light green color. She took in the large bed that had a polka-dot bed spread and matching pillows. Her heart skipped as she noticed a large French door.
