Shake the Council

"Help me" Anastasia woke up from that plea again. She doesn't know where it is coming from but she can hear it anywhere from time to time. "How can I even help you if I myself also seek help from others". She looks down lifting her arms and saw the chains are still there. She is trapped in her own consciousness by that vampire who has the power to control her mind. He uses her regrets, fear, and inner demons to weaken her will. The strongest enemies are those who can destroy you within and that vampire? Currently, he holds the title. The moment she collects herself and plans to get free, the sceneries and events she doesn't want to remember will suddenly flood her until she can no longer stand on her ground and let the rushing water drive and drown her. "How do you manage now, Loren?"

[Loren's POV]

"W-what did you say, Imperial Highness?"
