Feeling wanted.

Ever since Paulina woke up, Alicia had not said a word to her. Although she was glad that they had survived that one, Alicia still did not say a word to her. She couldn't get over the fact that she had stupidly tried to take the blame for everything and got herself killed. 

Right now, they were back in the dark, smelly dungeon. Some guards had taken them back here, but compared to earlier, they felt better. 

No, they were not okay. They were hurting all over from the whips and burns, but Williams had helped treat them, and the most important thing was that they were no longer dehydrated and they had eaten and taken some medicine, which made them feel less like dying. 

"H-how... do you feel, Milady?" Paulina risked asking Alicia, who was seated quietly at the other end of the cell away from her.
