"Millie it be will okay, everything will be alright now, I promise!" whispered Cassandra as she rocked back and forth holding Millie's head in her arms.
Her voice was soft and soothing, but Millie still trashed in her sleep, Cassandra was forced to stifle her cries by blocking her mouth.
The last thing she wanted was to awaken Lambert, he had already woken up once during the night and he wasn't in the best of moods, she knew that they had a deal in which he would protect Millie, but she didn't trust him to not look for any little excuse to break his end of the deal.
These soldiers were all people without any morals, so how could she truly place her trust in anyone of them.
Mille continued to thrash for a while before her eyes snapped open, and immediately the thin girl went even more frantic as she felt the pair of hands wrapped around her head and covering her mouth.
