Oriana:
It was the most awkward fifteen minutes of my life. When Yorick arrived and started to throw a huge fit, he was taken away from us.
I looked at the way the others were watching me. I wondered what they were thinking. They were probably feeling bad for me, and I hated it. I did not want to be that pitiful girl anymore. I wanted to be the woman who would be Luna.
I kept my hands tied in front of my body, looking timid in the presence of everyone, while Yorick's mother went into the basement to have a word with him.
When I heard footsteps coming upstairs, my heart started to thump harder in my chest. I wondered what he had decided. What if he accepted the death penalty? That would be terrible.
However, the minute they arrived and his mother gave a nod to the headmaster, I let out a deep breath in secrecy. He was ready. I wanted to smile, but that would catch attention.
