Claire's POV

I sat at my dressing table, starring into my mirror with hallow eyes. The tears had stopped a long time ago, long before the sobs had, even longer before the pain faded, leaving nothing in its wake.

He was gone, Kris was dead. I had nothing to care for anymore, the whole reason i existed was gone. 

I felt so cold.

The door opened, i didnt have to look up to know who it was. I just knew. Soon he was right behind me, i just kept starring at my own blank expression in the mirror.

His fingers combed through my hair, gentley moving it out of my face and tucking it behind my ears.

"Have you decided?" He asked, his voice holding no malice in it this time

"Yes" I said, even more voice sounded dead "I have decided"

His fingers froze in my hair. I could feel him watching me in the mirror

"And?" He asked

I stood up, turning around so that i could face Rog head on. He was just slightly taller then i was so i looked up into his cold brutal eyes.

"I will take you" I said 

Rog grinned, right before he burst into joyfull laughter.

"Perfect!" He exclaimed "Absolutly perfect"

I just stood there, unlinking, unfeeling. I felt like a robot, like i was living someone elses life right now. Nothing mattered anymore. Only a deep and burning hatred, one that i couldnt direct at anyone, because i didnt care about anyone anymore. 

I just wanted people to suffer

I wanted the world to suffer

Kris's POV

"We need to move faster" Thomas said from behind me "She is begining to go dark, i can feel it. Its like she's dead inside"

This set a bone chilling fear into me. We were practically on the castle now, now we just had to figure out how to get in.

"She's agreed to take Rog to your world" Thomas added "He's gone to prepare, shes alone in her room"

"Do you know where her room is?" I asked, looking up at the steep walls. Thomas scowled as he searched Clair's mind. It was becoming more difficult for him now that she was so dead inside. I didnt have much time before i couldnt save her.

"There!" He pointed at a balcony far above us "Thats where she is, but we need to get in, and get passed the kings guards"

I starred at the balcony for a few moments, if Claire was up there i could get to her right away if the halls werent to crazy. I only hoped that i wouldnt be to late.

"Well" I said "I guess the only way to do this is to do it one way"

Thomas raised an eyebrow at me

"And what would that be?" He asked

I pressed my hand against the door and smiled at him

"Just walk right in" I said before pushing on the door. It heaved open much to my pleasure and surprise.

"See" I said "Easy"

Someone shouted and Thomas ducked just before an arrow shot over my shoulder and narrowly missed him. I turned around to see at least a dozen guards comming my way.

"Easy you say?" Thomas asked as he leaped past me "You clearly are out of your mind"
