Luana
Trapped in this tower.

Come with me.
Those three little words terrified me more than I ever could have imagined. I'd been here, in this tower, for most of my life. Never dreaming that I could leave it, never dreaming that I should. I couldn't leave. What if mother found out?
I turned to my window. How many days and nights had I sat there, staring out into the world beyond my tower, watching other people as they moved freely about? Had I never once longed to be among them?
I turned back to Teddy. I was trembling all over. I felt cold and clammy and yet I felt as if I were burning up inside. I placed my hand in his.
Take me with you, I whispered.
