CAMILLA’S P.O.V

I groaned at the constant rocking motion. It felt like I was riding a horse but that didn’t make sense considering the fact that I was asleep, right? I tried to sit up but realized that I couldn’t. Something was holding me down and the more I tried to fight against it, the worse it got. I finally managed to open my eyes only to realize that I truly was on a horse. I had been thrown over and tied down so I couldn’t escape. It was as if the more I tried to fight, the worse it got.

“Don’t,” I heard a voice behind me and it took me a second to realize that it was Kevin’s voice. “You cannot get out of those knots on your own. You can keep trying but you are only going to hurt yourself. This will not take long, I swear, Rena just wants to meet with you.”

I scoffed at his words trying to ignore the sting of betrayal deep in my chest. I was so concerned with what was happening outside and with Reina that I didn’t even realize that there could be someone on the inside who was plotting against us. The idea of there being a mole was so foreign to me and Kevin would have been the last person I suspected. I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or be disappointed.

“Why?” I asked but he said nothing. “We gave you everything, we treated you right and you have lacked for nothing. What did she offer you that we could not?”

“Nothing, I did this because I wanted to,” he said finally and my brows furrowed. “Reina is a visionary. She has thoughts and plans for the world that are truly amazing. She believes that the goddess is a cruel dictator and she has proof to back it up. She wants to take back power and control.”

“You sound insane,” I spat. “Can you even her yourself? She wants to go against the very being that holds our life in her hands and you are stupid enough to join her. You will die.”

“Reina is more powerful than you think. It doesn’t matter now, I suppose, we have all played our parts. For what it is worth, I truly wish that it didn’t have to end this way, you could have been a great queen.”

Before I could utter any other words, the horse pulled to a halt. I couldn’t see much in front of me but I could make out some trees and the mouth of a cave. I heard Kevin dismount the horse and walk over to me. I heard him stop abruptly and couldn’t help but wonder why until I saw an unfamiliar pair of boots in my line of vision. It went without saying that the boots belonged to Reina. My thoughts were further

I was hesitant t get up. I couldn’t help but wonder if she had any ulterior motives. People like her didn’t do anything without reason and the fact that she just stood there not saying a word had me worrying even more. I looked around slowly, it was just the both of them, if my powers had returned then I could

possibly break free and run away.

“You cannot use your powers,” her voice was a breathy whisper that carried with the wind. “I know all that you are capable of, Camilla. Do you really think I will give you an avenue to use that?”

I finally looked up at her and despite having a description from Briggs, I was still thrown off guard by her
