Over and Done

Minutes later, Belle sat in the hallway outside the cell where Matias laid out cold on the floor with his eyes open. The mask that she wore earlier is now on the floor beside her already broken after receiving a blow from Matias's fist. 

She leaned her back on the wall and raised her head to stare at the ceiling. Then she heard hurried footsteps coming in her direction. She didn't have to look to know that those footsteps belong to her brother and possibly Arthur. 

And she was right. It didn't take long before she saw her brother in front of her. 

"Hey," She heard him say, then she lowered her head to meet his gaze. 

"Hey," She said weakly then saw the worry in her brother's eyes before they traveled to her battered body. She still wore that short-sleeved white lace dress but it is already stained with blood either from her or from Matias. One of the sleeves is already missing and there were some torn parts in the skirt.
