The West Village
Monday - After Ana escaped.
Away from the castle, in the West Village of the kingdom, a tall brunette stands outside of a dilapidated house, staring at it from a distance. A thin, pink parasol sheltering her from the sun, her face holds a grim smile, and she twirls the parasol in her hand slowly, enjoying her view.

* * *PeterThe other day, when I was looking over Driz's map of the outbreak while she was bathing, I added the Ivie's household as two more casualties, but there was no need to add any traces of where the couple may have gone, they were practically hermits.The map was mostly marked around the north village, just shy of my parent's home, I hope that they stayed healthy and safe. At that time, there was only a handful of casualties from the plague, but today, we learned of fourteen new deaths in a different village and one more in the castle.Driz and I were looking over the map once again, baffled. Mr. Thomas, the mailman, whose notes we had been using to map the possible spread, had not visited the West Village at any time that he could have been carrying the plague before he fell sick. We had no idea what else it could be that was spreading it.

Cinderella, Queen of Rats Charles and Ella
* * *EllaAfter Maddie’s wake, we were all very quiet, but I couldn’t get over the likeness of the charcoal portrait that Charlie drew of her, and I wanted to know more about his hidden talent.“Charlie, where are we going?” I asked with an amused smile as he pulled me. I didn’t know where we were going, but we were heading towards his private quarters, and I became slightly nervous.“I want to show you something,” he said from in front of me. There was no way that he would be taking me to his bedroom, no, that was absolutely absurd.We stopped outside a regular-looking wooden door and I concluded that this was not his private bedroom, and I let my shoulders relax.“Close your eyes,” his voice was calm and playful, and I didn’t detect anything sinister going on, so I did as he asked and closed my eyes, covering t

The room had a certain echo when it was not filled with numerous guests, and Archibald wanted to put Lucinda on blast.“Your majesty, I swear, I came to warn you!” Lucinda pleaded as she fell to her knees in front of the King as he sat on his throne and glared down at her, just as he had glared at her daughter a month ago for similar reckless behavior.
