Would you help them?

KARA'S POV

 

The image of Viktor's smile played in my mind. He had never cared about me? He had lied about making me a princess? I couldn't believe it. No, no he wouldn't have done that. I just wanted to be accepted…to finally have a family. To belong somewhere.

 

Then I remembered the smile he had on his face as he watched Aldric kill me. "He was just using you." Aldrid's words rang in my mind.

 

I woke with a start, breathing heavily. It took me a moment to process what was going on. I sat up from where I lay down. My eyes looked down at my body and hands then realized… I was…alive. Why? I asked myself.

 

 

I looked at the bloodied dress I wore and peeked inside to see the stab wound had become a small scar. The blood and the stab wound were all gone. It was the same for the stab wound on my leg. What in the world? How was this possible? I would have preferred if I died to be honest. Remembering everything that happened.
