Chapter 87: Return *

"Congratulations Vanessa, you are now a Royal Guardian! You must dedicate your life to protecting the King and his Kingdom."

"Vanessa, the future of the Herrings is now on your shoulders. You must serve the Royals well."

"You have been assigned to protect her highness princess Evelyn. You must…"

"You must…"

"You must…"

"You..."

Vanessa abruptly opened her eyes and gasped for breath. All she could see was complete darkness. She tried to get up, but something was pressing down on her chest, holding her from sitting up from the comfy surface she was lying upon.

These strange and eerie conditions in her half-asleep state activated her amygdala, urging her to escape. She used all of her strength to sit up, pushing the obstacle that was pushing her down. Seeing no way out, she subconsciously began to shriek.

"Aaaaaaaah!" Her scream resounded through the darkness.
