On The Verge Of Death

Ave returned to her chamber after the announcement, just like everyone else who had gathered in the hall. She was starving and tired, but she knew that after she'd slept in with Lucian, breakfast had long passed them both.

On her way to her chamber, she tried to look around to see if she'd see Lucian, but she didn't see any sign of him or Zane, who she knew if she were to find, he'd tell her where his friend was. It seemed like those two had disappeared from the main palace, or perhaps she wasn't looking in the right places, because she knew she had no reason to seek him out now that he wasn't seeking her out.
