Celestiel hurried through the halls, trying to make her way to her room before anyone noticed her.

She held her breath, rushing to hide round the corner. She took a small peek at the two men and almost had a heart attack when she saw her father's companion staring right back at her.

He would lock her up in the cellar again and she wouldn't be able to meet her mother and-
"What is it?", she heard her father ask his companion. She held her breath, waiting for the man's response.
