"Standing your ground already, eh?"
I turn around to see William's father, who is smiling.
"Wait I wasn-"
"I assume you are ready, correct?" He cuts me off, holding his arm out.
Unwillingly, I loop my arm around his, forcing a smile.
"Yes. I'm ready."
.

.After walking a bunch of stairs and hallways, we stop at a large gate guarded by two soldiers. As if out of thin air, Myra appears, standing in front of me. I watch as she sneers, disgusted by my dress.
Oh how I wish I could-
"You may do it now, Myra." William's father says, stepping away from me.
Wait, what?
"Don't worry, I'm just going to use some of my special powers to make sure at least a part of you cooperates with us." Myra says, bringing her hands up.
She murmurs a few strange words and then points towards me. I make an effort to block, but whatever she just did still gets to me. That's when I notice that there is someone by my side... myself?
"You must not be very well acquainted with Myra's powers, Jennifer. The power to duplicate, a handy one indeed."
I step back, and the clone does the same, copying my movements.
"What the hell is happening..."
The second I turn around, the two guards grab me, not letting me escape. But I am confused by their strengths. They don't grab me as hard, but still don't loosen my grip as I struggle.
If only I wasn't wearing this stupid dress.
"I'm sorry to say this my dear, but not everything may go as planned for you. That's unfortunately the was life is. You plan things out, think it'll go well but still end up failing. Think of that as you enjoy your time, in the dungeon."
The dungeon? What?
"N-no! Stop! You can't-"
It's inevitable. I can't stop anything from happening... he can stop me, for now at least.
What is minutes seems like hours as the two guards drag me down the stairs and into the dungeon. The air underground is musty, coughing heard from the different cells. One distinct noise catches my ear as the guards lead me to a cell farthest to the door. A loud, rumbling sort of breathing, like an old machine vibrating through the walls.
As soon as we reach 'my cell' the two guards stop, pushing me in. I hit the ground with a thud, scraping my hands against the ground. I look down at my bloodied and dirty hands, noticing water coming down onto them like a faucet after you close it, water still dripping. I know they are tears but I don't dare to wipe them or stop them in any way for that matter. Then I hear a noise.
"Who are you?" A gruff voice asks. "Servants aren't allowed in the dungeon."
"Well, jokes on you because I'm definitely not a servant." The voice almost makes me jump, but I stay rooted to the spot.
I hear a loud roar followed by a howl and metal clashing against the floor. In just seconds, the cell bars beside me are torn open and I see who has come to see me.
Niko.
I'm still frozen to the spot, looking up at the blue and green eyes that stare down on me.
"Wow, you look so...beautiful. Are you okay?" He changes suddenly turning into a human once again.
I look down at my hands to instead reveal that I am unscathed, my dress as well.
