Lyn
Elias carries me all the way back to the castle, but even there he won't let me down, only when we are safely in his room does he set me down. I immediately flee into my cage, which is still against the wall. I haven't used it for a while, but I feel safest there right now. I know it's cowardly, but I'm afraid of his anger. He generously granted me a wish and I broke his trust at the first opportunity and fled, putting us both in great danger. So why should he not claim my head. His countenance at the moment shows the purest murderousness and I am afraid of what he will do to me. He could whip me like he did Levis, or lock me in the dungeon, but he could also tie me up and rape me or drink my blood until I am nothing but an empty shell. I tremble with fear and make myself very small.
