Some of us Have Secrets

Chapter 2: The Girl with the Dark Hair

After training Alrea headed into the castle and down the spiral staircases to the dungeon.
"Good morning Maria," she said as she stopped in front of the most well protected cell.
"Please Alrea," Maria replied her face paler than ever. "You can't keep me here,Randolph killed him. Randolph killed my husband. Please Alrea, please..."
"Sorry Maria I can't let you out. Here's your breakfast." Alrea slipped some bread and butter through the bars and left Maria weeping alone in her cell.
Back outside Alrea trained alone hitting a tree with her sword.
"Excuse me" said a weak voice.
  Alrea turned around to see a girl with dark hair looking at her hopefully.
  "Who are you, what do you want."
  "My name is Lydia" the girl replied. "I'm looking for a place to stay. Who are you?"
  "Alrea, my name is Alrea" she told Lydia. "I know a place where you can stay."
  And so Alrea took Lydia into the palace and showed her a room.
  "Thank you"
  "My pleasure" said Alrea and left.
