Cris saw Annabelle's fading form as the guards dragged her away. She blinked away he tears and any remorse that she should have had. It was Annabelle's fault she wasn't ready to go out and steal supplies. Cris had told her to stay behind. She tried hard to believe her thoughts but she knew it was far from the truth.
Just like her first love, Annabelle was ripped away from her by a stupid class difference. The only difference this time is that Cris wasn't locked in her room as Celeste was being murdered. This time Cris was hiding in a cupboard as Annabelle was being dragged to the castle awaiting an unfair trial. Cris swore she would never return there, after what happened last time she was there.
I mean at least this time she had a bit of magic on her side.
