Another scream tore through the silence.
“Guinevere, it’s me. Come on, look at me. I’m going to get you out of here.”
“No, you’re not real.”
Laughter echoed-cruel, cruel laughter, mocking and full of scorn.
Gwen. It’s okay. I’m here.”
Whispers overlapped one another.
She trembled as sobs wracked her.
“So pathetic.”
“L-leave me a-alone!”
Another shrill scream was heard throughout the room full of mandrake roots.
Her own screams accompanied it, creating a terrified dissonance.
“It’s all right, Gwen. I’m here for you. I’m the only one you can trust now.”
In that moment, the kind-hearted and just Queen fell to the Witch shrouded in darkness.
