Rogues

"I'm scared..." Paulina said to Alicia fearfully. It was one thing to walk down a dark, eerie hallway. It was another thing to be in a hidden room with a coffin that housed the dead body of someone they didn't know.

The entire time, Paulina's eyes kept going to the stone door, fearing it would shut and leave them stranded here. That would be a nightmare. 

Alicia tried to understand what the king was thinking. Why would he hide Wilder's body here? 

She walked around the sarcophagus, too scared to even touch it, much less open it to look inside to confirm whether there was indeed a body there. 

A year ago, if someone had told her she would willingly be in a place like this, she would have frightfully laughed it off. But after everything she had experienced since she arrived here, this was probably the least scary thing. 

She paused and brought the fire torch forward when she saw something that looked like a small pouch.
