Everything Changed

Ana had crawled for a long time. When she tried to stand up, her eyes went blurry. She blinked a few times but everything was blurry and moving. She held her head but she knew she was at the verge of her strength. 

She pinched herself to get a hold but it only worsened her condition and she vomited there and fell. Her eyes closed.

"Garrison!" was all she whispered before she lost consciousness.

In the marquis palace, 

Dread filled George when he saw the letter with the royal seal on it. Last day was a torment. As if all the happiness of their family was sucked by a vortex and only death and dread remained.

When his aide tore the seal and passed the letter to him, George held it for a long time before finally opening it. His eyes roamed on the words quickly making his eyes widen.
