-The Letter-

-----

"Seems like the Druids didn't change their training methods"

After two weeks of endless and merciless torture [Y/N] had given in and told almost everything she knew about the underground. Almost.

"Are we finally going to dispose of the girl now?"

Darko's smile fell.

"No. I recently recieved a message from the leader of the Rebellion herself."

"A message?"

Alex was walking down the streets, a hood covering her head. She was nervous. What if somebody would recognize her?

After a while Alex began to feel followed. She took a turn to walk through the street market to find out who was following her or if she was being paranoid.

Alex stopped at a few shops and inconspicuously observed her surroundings. There was one person who caught her eye, because they always stopped at shops near her.

Alex' heart froze when she realized who was following her.

Elise.

The door to [Y/N]'s cell opened. Jessica stepped inside and walked over to her, her steps haunting in [Y/N]'s mind.

With effort [Y/N] lifted her head, wondering what they wanted to hear today. Have they found out she didn't tell them everything?

She prepared herself for the worst. What she did not expect was Jessica to free her from her chains.

"Get up."

Jessica grabbed [Y/N]'s arm and pulled her up. [Y/N]'s feet were a little too weak to hold her full body weight, so Jessica had to support her standing.

With slow steps they walked towards the exit.

[Y/N] was confused. What was happening? Where is she bringing her?

The hallways they walked down were dark and empty.

"You're really quiet. Cat got your tongue?"

"I'd rather safe my oxygen for important matters"

Jessica smirked. "Still don't have enough hm?"

She pushed a door open and revealed the bedroom laying behind it.

As soon as the door opened [Y/N]'s eyes got struck by light. She shielded them with her free arm until she could adjust to the brightness.

Jessica pushed [Y/N] into the room, sending her tumbling over. Before her feet could give out entirely she grabbed onto a dresser beside her, aiding herself.

"I'll send someone in to treat your injuries." Jessica spoke sternly, her glare burning into [Y/N]'s back. "If you dare to leave this room, I'll throw you back into those cells. Understood?"

The door slammed shut.

[Y/N]'s confusion was at it's highest. Why were they helping her?

Her legs gave in and [Y/N] fell to her knees. It's been a while since she stood on her own or even saw sunlight.

She closed her eyes and focused on her breathing and the sunrays on her blood-stained and bruised skin.

Exhaustion took control of [Y/N]'s limbs and she slowly let her guard down.

Breath in..
