The room fell silent as everyone around Orla gasped. Mr. Atticus was clearly furious this time.

Only those who committed grave errors, ones that jeopardized the medical organization, were sent to the dungeon-a place so dreadful that anyone who went in would lose their sanity within five days. Mr. Atticus didn't even want Selene to have fresh meals. Was he really going to make her eat spoiled food?

As they moved to take Selene, she stepped back, her eyes cold.

"Don't touch me. I can walk myself."
