Chapter 185 - The Other Side Of The Castle
“Mummy!”
That voice.
Delice would give anything to never hear that voice ever again.
The keys jingled as one turned in the keyhole and Laura stepped in, the sound of her boots muffled against the red rug. Delice could see how the light from the candles hung on the wall, reflected on the surface of Laura's black polished boots.
“How have you been? Have you missed me, Mummy?” Laura asked with a smile.
Missed her?
She had been held as a prisoner in this room, her hands chained to either side of the walls for some time now that she had lost count. These chains were not what kept her here though. It was the threat that hung over her daughter’s head that kept her here.
Mental imprisonment.
“Laura.” Her lips trembled lightly. Pale as they were, their colour was gone.
“Mummy?” Laura crouched next to her, while she opened a sachet of blood and placed it against her lips.
“My daug–”
“Drink first.” The words carried a silent warning - Don't annoy me.
