Chapter Ninety.

Aurora’s POV:

I stepped out of the room with my mother following closely behind me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I had almost forgotten how weak she was. When it occurred to me that she might be lagging, I stopped, turned around, and smiled when I noticed that Klaus had his arm wrapped around her protectively while he pulled her alongside him.

“Thank you,” I mouthed to him and he nodded.

“You’re welcome.” He mouthed back.

Upon seeing that she was doing just fine, I turned away and continued to walk through the airy corridors. We went down a few more flights of stairs and before you knew it, we arrived at the dungeons.

The first thing I noticed when I stepped into the place today was how bad-smelling the entire place was. It was damp and dark and had this eerie feeling to it that I couldn’t quite decipher. Another thing I noticed was how the soldiers had changed the positions of the locked-up criminals, and now, Josie’s and Emily’s cells were just opposite of each other.
