Evangeline’s hands were cuffed behind her back with a cloth that Clifford had been carrying in the pocket of his cloak. He held onto her shoulder and led her down the stairs, further than Anya had ever shown her. The temperature began dropping lower with every step.

Now shivering but crying less, Evangeline quietly asked, “W-why did you not just kill me?”

Clifford shook his head and tightened his thin cloak around himself. “Princess Anya told me not to and truthfully, I did not want to give you the easy way out. I felt that you were my friend, did you know that? This hurts me as well.”

“We are friends, Clifford!”

“No. If we were, we are definitely not now. You hurt my dearest friend. Princess Anya loved you so much and how can she know if you loved her?”

“Because I did! I do! It does not matter anymore; she wants nothing to do with me.” Evangeline sulked.

Clifford sighed. “I know you love her, alright? I truly am sorry.”

Clifford then took off his cloak and put it under Evangeline’s arm as he opened the large dungeon door. He shoved her to the guard who grabbed her cuffed hands.

“We have a deadly assassin. Keep her away from the others.” He paused, “Oh and put that cloak on her? The draft is nasty down here.”

Clifford walked away leaving Evangeline with the guard.
