"Snap out of it, Danika! Sally would never want you this way at all! You have to be strong for her!" Baski said as the walked out of the passage that divided the palace from the Royal Court.

As she talked, they saw Chad. Baski left Danika and ran towards him, she relayed the King's message.

Chad's eyes darkened and his hand fisted tightly at his side as Baski quickly run him through everything that happened.

He walked past them and started towards the route of the Royal Court. That was the only thing that snapped Danika out of her trance.

She turned and started running after him, determined to go with him. She has to see Sally, she just has to!

Baski didn't waste time trying to stop her. Instead, they all followed Chad.

There's another way that leads to the inner room without having to go through the hall of the court.

Chad led them through that way, withdrawing a huge bunch of key from the key chain at his side, he sorted through the keys and singled out one small key, he used it to open the door.

They rushed inside, and there Sally laid on the table.

She was naked and laid spread out at the table, in the pool of her own blood. They were cuts and bruises on some parts of her body, her face was wet, her eyes closed.

Danika stuck her hand into her mouth and let out a muffled scream at the horrible sight of Sally.

Chad walked closer and gently lifted her into his arms. He turned towards the door and stopped short when her weak arms suddenly tightened around his neck.

Sally's eyes opened ever so slightly and found her princess. And then, it closed again.

"She opened her eyes!" Danika gasped, a rare hint of hope rearing it's head in her hurting heart.

She turned teary eyes at Baski who's wide eyes indicated that she saw it too. Baski rushed towards Chad and gently took Sally's hand into her, she pressed her finger on her wrist.

"She's alive...barely, but she's alive!" She gasped.

Chad started carrying her away in hurried steps but he was careful not to jarr her, Baski grabbed Danika's hand and they followed him.

Danika swiped the tears from her eyes with her free hand, even as more fell. She willed herself to be strong. She has to be strong for Sally! She has to!

Why would Sally do something like this? Why did she have to do this!? It hurts her immensely.

Chad held Sally with so much care even at a point when he was almost running. Her blood coated his body and she's floating on that little bridge that separated life and death.

"Take her to the underground room, I'll get three trusted maids to run some errands to start some treatments on her. I'll rush to Danika's room, there must be a little piece of Orchiz Seed there. We need to stop those bleeding first and hope to the heavens that she hasn't lost so much." Baski said, already walking away.

Danika followed Chad to the underground room, one of the secret places of the palace only a few people know about, and fewer are allowed to go.

Danika took the keys from him and sorted through them following his instructions, she singled out a key and opened the door.
