Fragile Loyalty

Yohana couldn't keep her promise to herself. She descended the stairs, and it was dimly lit. She couldn't see anything from behind the wall. Her curiosity got the best of her, and she approached the only cell holding a captive.

The man was chained to each side of the wall and couldn't sit properly. He just dangled in the air. Yohana remembered her state of being when Princess Eleanor captured her. 

Once she stopped studying the man's situation, she realized that she knew that face. This man would not only know her murderer; this man was the murderer!

Yohana collapsed to the floor. She crawled backward. Her breath was uneven, and she could feel her loud heart drumming like crazy from within. She struggled to prevent herself from fainting. 

"You…" she muttered.
