"He isn't ever coming back, is he?" I said looking up at the sky, sitting on the window seat, my legs pulled up close to my body with my hand resting on them, and my head leaning against the wall.

"Yeah, probably...most definitely." muttered Mazi.

"I always knew there was something wrong about him... he's probably working for the King, and sent Sephora there as a trap." I grit my teeth in the process of saying it.

"But why would he just up and leave...he could have just killed all of us here...he had so many chances."

I slowly sat up and faced her, "I guess we have to come up with a plan by ourselves then."

"Yeah..."

"Any ideas?"

"Not at all."

"Alright then...let's just sleep on it, have a fresh mind...clear head...and then we will discuss it tomorrow, okay?"

"Sure, I'll just stay here for a while then go to bed."

"Alright then, good night." I kissed her on cheek as a way of comfort before going up the stairs, into my room, and straight to bed.

I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be a very long day.

I was in that empty gray room again, on the floor, but this time my I was sitting on it, and then I heard her voice,

"Hello Elizabeth, how are things going so far?" Her calming voice filled my thoughts.

"What am I doing here?" I tried to remain calm but I was simply agitated because I wanted to get as much sleep as I could before I decide to wake up and deal with my problems again.

For some reason, it felt like I could feel her smile at me like nothing was wrong,

"I just wanted to check up on you, how have you been since last time we talked?" She questioned softly.

My response came out in a sigh as I looked up, my legs crossed while rolling my eyes, "Good I guess...can I go now?"

"I only wanted ask how you were doing." She sounded like she was pouting.

"Yeah well, you know how I'm doing now so... What exactly do you want?"

"Right, I almost forgot," she clears her throat getting ready to speak, "you have to go to your father, and before you object, you have to just trust me on this one. When you get there you'll know why."

I stoop up, contemplating what she just said, and since this was the first time she actually sounded serious, I believed her.

"Okay then, I'll go."

"Oh...that was easier than I thought," she muttered. "Good. Okay you can go back now. Bye."

"Thank you." I said relieved that I could finally get some sleep. "We'll talk...whenever I guess." And before I knew it I was peacefully sleeping again, waiting for the sun the rise up and a new day to come.
