Baski nodded, and started walking away from them. She was doing her best to detach herself from it all, "She doesn't want to eat because she's scared of what will follow. No matter how much I try to get her to understand that she's finally safe, it doesn't believe it. I've tried to get her to eat...it doesn't matter, she won't."

She finished the last work with a loud bang of the door as she entered another room in the small house. It's Danika and Sally alone in the sitting room.

Sally started sobbing. "This is so terrible...! This is so horrible...! Oh, my princess, I can't imagine what Remeta is going through. She's trapped in her head! She's trapped!"

She raised her eyes and swiped at her eyes, but more tears kept falling as she continued, "I can't imagine what it'll feel like being so trapped in the past....! I do my best not remember that day at the courtroom, and that's because I have you to distract me...I have you to be there for me and that's why I don't think about it so much....! She has no one...! She's trapped! Trapped!"

Danika wrapped her eyes around Sally as she cried so hard, her body shook with the force of her sobs. Danika's tears run freely down her cheeks as she consoled Sally.

Finally, she pulled Sally away from her body. "Stop crying...you'll fall sick again." She chided softly.

Then, Danika left Sally standing there. She walked back to the Remetas's bedroom and entered inside it.

The girl wasn't within sight, but Danika knows that she's behind the wardrobe.

"Remeta?" She called softly, wiping the tears from her eyes.

Slowly, the girl pushed her head out from behind the wardrobe and peaked at her from behind her massive dirty blond hair.

"Who's there?" The girl's tiny voice trembled.

"My name is Danika."

The girl flinched. "Sounds like the name of a queen."

Danika let out a startled gasp, not knowing what to say about that.

"I'm not a queen. I'm your friend." She whispered at last.

"Remeta has no friends. She is mad in the head." The girl replied in that tiny voice that squeezes Danika's heart.

"You're not mad in the head." Danika tried to reassure her.

"That's what they all say..."

"People will always say bad things about good people all the time. It's because they are jealous."

The girl let out that empty laughter again. "Whoever is jealous of Remeta is mad in the head. Remeta has nothing to be jealous about."

"Oh, I think that's a lie. Remeta is a very beautiful young girl when she bathes and eats so well. I bet it'll make people jealous." Danika supplied, even though she has never seen the girl's face before.

But then again, Remeta was once a King's Slave. That must say something for the fifteen-year-old girl.

Remeta shook her hair vigorously, causing it to wave all around her. "No bath, no bed. No food, no bed."

Danika teared up again. How can such little words have the power to tear through a person?

"No, Remeta. There will be no bed again, ever." She tried to reassure her.

"Mama says that all the time. Mama lies. They still come and take me tomorrow." She whispered.

The girl is really trapped in her own head. "Please, look at me, Remeta. You will see that I eat really well and I bathe so good, but there is no bed. I'm a....female like you. There is no bed."

Silence. Danika heard sniffles, but she didn't turn, knowing fully well that Sally is standing by the door. Sally, and Baski.
