~ Her heart seared from the distant memory, of passion and misery, once lost and found. ~
Maru found herself inside a cave. The half-man- half serpent creature placed her inside a prison cell that restricted her movements.
She felt stupid, having dropped her phone while she was being dragged into her confinement.
"Why did you abduct me? I never did anything wrong to you!" Maru shouted at the top of her voice.
The creature hissed and looked at her, "Yes, you did nothing wrong. But unfortunately for you. I needed a bait."
"Bait for who?", Maru asked, scared to hear the name she knew the creature was referring to.
"For the Son of Arryn." The snake man hissed as Maru was pulled by a mysterious force into a deep sleep.
