ZINA (Five Hours Ago; Before the Second Round Of Torture)
Zina froze as a familiar feeling came over her, accompanied by an unnatural chill that could only originate from the North.
But the unnatural chill was not from the unending taunts from Rowan on the fact that her husband was taking a new wife, nor was it from the condescending cackle of Rose who was still seemingly before her in the physical world.
Her chill was from entirely different reason. A different feeling….
The same feeling she got months ago when she had projected and met her mother.
But while the physical world remained the same, Zina found herself in a dilapidated building that she was sure once stood tall as a castle.
And her mother was in front of it, waiting for her. A dark expression was etched on her face, and in just five minutes, mother and daughter had the most important conversation of their lives.
