In just a matter of minutes, Anastasia's plan to spend the rest of the day by herself suddenly went crashing.
As she was about to go outside and into the castle's field, a startling blare reverberates from the opposite end of that hallway. It's so loud and sudden that she feels like her non-existent heart is racing for a mile an hour.
