'Is this where it ends?' I wondered, my heart sinking deeper into fear. 'Am I being held here to be killed? Or is Ma'am Elena trying to help me?'
Confusion tightened its grip on me. If she was trying to help, why was I locked away like a prisoner? And why hadn't she come to see me herself?
I wiped away the tears that had started to fall, feeling utterly helpless. "Maybe this is my fate," I whispered to myself. "Maybe I'm just meant to end up here… forgotten."
Tears kept streaming down my face as I thought about everything I had promised my friends. 'I vowed to keep them safe, to fight for them. But why am I always the one trapped, in danger? And are they even worth dying for?'
I closed my eyes, trying to calm my racing thoughts. But instead of peace, a memory flooded my mind.
