The others stared at Celeste like they clearly thought the blood loss had started getting to her. Celeste ignored them, instead, she chose to start walking.
All the Castle passageways were permanently ingrained in her brain. She could navigate through these halls with her eyes closed. Every corner she turned, every sharp turn she took, she felt like a ghost. A ghost that was haunting the place it died. Because she really had died here. Celeste, the girl who was free, the girl who had a clear conscience, the girl who was pure and innocent, the girl that had a family. That girl had died the night she fled the castle. Her life as she knew it, had ended at that very moment.
