Faeirex woke with a start. Where was she? What was going on? The memories came back to her in a flash. She was in the palace.
Looking around her, Faeirex felt a sudden stab of irrational fear. The walls were all around her. She was closed in- trapped! Stone surounded her. Cold, solid, looming closer and closer...
She couldn't breathe. Terrified, she rose from the bed. The exhaustion was gone now, her body had grown strong again as she rested. Feverishly, she opened the door, desparately trying to escale from the cloying, choking fear that threatened to overcome her. She stepped into a corridor, and still the stone was there. They meant to imprison her- lock her up. She would never see trees again! She began to move from door to door. Each was locked. Faeirex began to move faster and faster, flitting through the corridors, a pale ghost in white. Onwards she ran, losing herself in the maze of passageways. Up stairs, down stairs, left, right, north, south. Direction had no meaning to her. All there was was the desparate need to be free of the stone cage, and this unnatural terror. She was alone.
At last, in her tangled mind there registered a faint recognition. She had been here before, hadn't she? This was where- Aragorn. From her trembling lips there arose a whimper. Suddenly, she heard movement inside. She backed away from the door as if the room inside housed all the terrors of Mordor. Like a wilted flower, she continued on, stumbling often. That mind-numbing fear robbed her of all sensation, only the desparate desire to be out of the palace, to be free.
There- ahead. Someone was standing there. Shaking, Faeirex started forwards. Hearing her heavy footsteps and the dry sobs at the back of her throat, the figure turned. Through her fear, Faeirex saw a red-headed girl. The face was unfamiliar to her, but even in her state of near collapse, a warning note was struck inside her. She stopped, struggled to get a hold of herself, to face this apparent new danger.
The girl was looking at her, and the expression on her face suggested that they were not the strangers she had supposed.
At that moment, a door opened. Wordlessly, the redhead melted back into the shadows, leaving Faeirex standing there alone and terrified out of her mind.
