Lady Of The Night (23)

(Northern Region – Unknown Location)

(New Atlantic City- Forested Outskirts)

Freedom.

Mary glanced upwards at the night sky and took a moment to appreciate the thousands of sparkling stars and the full moon.

She felt a cold breeze brush against her body and shivered as goosebumps began to form along her arms.

After spending so many weeks inside the castle, the outside world appeared both familiar and strange at the same time.

Mary lightly touched the mask that was covering her face and felt its hard surface. 

Even though she was revelling in the taste of freedom… she was not foolish enough to attempt to escape.

Firstly, Camilla was walking in the distance but not far enough away that Mary was confident that she would be able to outrun her vampire mistress.

And secondly… she did not know where she was.
