I saw her again. She was hiding from me around the corner and so I ran as fast as I could to reach her. But when I turned the corner, she was gone from sight. I was in the same hallway in the castle from earlier and I noticed that it was nothing but darkness except for only a candle lit up. I looked around in confusion as I tried to find her, but I failed. I looked down and realized I was still wearing the black gown. I felt someone behind me so I turned around and my whole body went numb. I still remember the last time I saw her and how she ripped out my heart with her cold hands.

"Well well well, nice to see you again, Elora." she said. 

"Segovia." I mumbled finally. She glanced at me for a moment and smirked. She had her arms around her back and she was still wearing the white gown that went past her ankles. It was frightening how much she looked like me but Segovia was nothing like me. 

"Really, Elora, getting yourself poisoned? How stupid can you be?." Segovia claimed as she took a step closer to me. My eyes were widened by the fear of the girl standing before me. 

"Why are you in my dreams?" I demanded to try to ignore her insult. 

"Oh, darling, don't you want me here?" she asked sarcastically. I glared at her and took a step back from her. 

"No, not at all. You fucking ripped out my heart!" I yelled. She tilted her head back and laughed. 

"That's because I'm your worst nightmare." Segovia said heartlessly with a smile on her face. In a second she had her hands wrapped around my throat. The smile on her face gave me chills to the bone. 

"The great thing about this is that every time you go to sleep, I get to kill you." she said excitedly. I tried to resist her grasp but she was stronger than me. I groaned at the pain as she squeezed her hand tighter to my throat. I was leaning with my back against the wall and a crimson colored tear rolled off my cheek. "Oh, great!" she paused. "What I hate most about you is how much you cry over nothing! " she continued. "Boo-hoo you're parents died! Guess what Elora, in this world everybody dies!" she yelled in my face and I flinched at her voice. I had no idea why she knew about that but I figured it's because of she is in my head. 

"Tell Sebastian hi for me!" she said with a smile on her face.

The first thing I felt when I woke up was a sharp pain in my wrists. I slowly opened my eyes so they would focus on my surroundings. It felt like my whole body was drained of everything inside me. The back of my neck throbbed as I realized that I was seated up on my bed. As I looked down, I saw two glass bowls on either side of me with a mixture of red and dark blue blood. I narrowed my eyes at the sight before me because the last thing I remember was getting stabbed in the stomach. My wrists were placed in the bowls and I saw that they were sliced open. 

I tilted my head up and saw Sebastian with his eyes closed. He was seated next to the bed with his strong arms crossed over his chest. I noticed that his shirt was filled with blood stains just like the last time I saw him. He looked so calm and peaceful while he was sleeping that I formed a small smile on my lips. I suddenly dropped my smile by how I couldn't move my arms because of how sore and weak they were. I felt a sharp of pain in my stomach so I put my hand on it. "Gahh!" I said as the hunger grew every second. In a moment, Sebastian opened his eyes and quickly leaned over me with his warm hand on my thigh. He has his eyebrows clenched together in worry and I didn't realize he was so worried about me.
