Chapter Thirteen

Diamante woke up feeling well-rested. She immediately got up and walked into her closet. She then painstakingly picked through the assortments. Diamante decided that today she'd hunt down Marcus and destroy him.

The thundering storm outside gives her a sense of tranquillity and peace.

Diamante hears a soft knock on her door. Diamante allows the person to enter. She is happy to see that it's Aheli.

Aheli stands behind Diamante patiently as she takes off her robes. Aheli then ties on Diamante's corset and bloomers. She then gets Diamante to stand on a platform and extend her arms while dressing Diamante with her chosen dress.

The ticking of the clock and the invasive thunder fill the room. Diamante closes her eyes as she remembers looking out at the wild through a wet window as a child.
