Aspen sighed deeply. "I'm sorry, Kate. That's why... I'm telling you, it's stupid to go back to the castle when you already know that your sister Ivy died for you! Please, don't let her sacrifice fall in vain..." he said in a gentle voice, trying hard not to make things worst for her.
Kate shut off her eyes for a few seconds, recalling everything that happened on the night they made their escape. She was blindfolded during that time and she heard the splashing of something like liquid on the barrier and it smells something odd...now that she remembered it...that must be her sister's blood!
Fresh tears sprang in her eyes as a strong wave of sadness and feeling of loss enveloped her consciousness. She just loses two members of her beloved family! Dammit, how was she supposed to live now? Knowing that her youngest sister was inside the castle and needs her help! It was making her panic! Worst, she can't do anything to help her youngest sister!
