• ELOISE •
There was a knock on the door, three knocks to be precise.
Osha!
I hurried and unlocked the door, but my smile quickly faded when I saw Dia.
"D-Dia?"
My heart pounded at the thought of her being here. I looked at Osha, who had an apologetic expression on her face.
She brought her here?
"I heard you confined yourself. It seems true."
"It's nice to see you, Dia, but—"
She invited herself into my chambers, and I panicked, but it was already too late.
"Dia!"
Dia stopped, eyes wide as she took in the room, mouth agape. She stepped closer to the candelabra covered in ice and poked it, flinching when it made a soft crack sound.
"It's like icy crystals."
"Osha, what did you do?" I demanded angrily.
Osha shut the door and hung her head down. I never thought I would ever be furious at her until now. I felt like I wanted to kick her out and never see her again.
"This is incredible..."
I froze at Dia's words, stunned by the look of amazement she gave me.
