Nyssa is running down the castle corridors, frightened and alone. She becomes lost in all the turning and twisting. On the brink of tears, she collapses and almost give up hope when she sees Queen Elspeth at the end of the hallway smiling brightly with her arms out stretched toward her. A wave of relief and happiness washes over her troubled little heart. Nyssa runs to her and embraces her tightly. She feels at home and happy to have found someone she loves. "Shhh my love...Everything is alright, no need for tears, it was only a dream!" Elspeth strokes her hair whispering sweet comforting words, trailing small kisses across her forehead, lulling her into a sense of security. Holding the fragile child in her arms, her intended result was achieved. Nyssa feels safe, protected, and loved. Most of all she wanted her love. Nyssa would stay in her arms forever if she could. Admiring her, idolizing her, worshiping her. Anything to find favor in her eyes. Without any thought about it, she feels Elspeth's arms pull away from her and suddenly slam her into the wall. Stunned and confused Nyssa tries to get away but is jerked back and detained by the neck. Elspeth grips tight around her neck with no intention of letting her precious puppet free. Breathing is no longer an option for Nyssa, but she doesn't struggle anymore. She comes to find she can't or rather won't. She is enchanted and distracted by the beautiful creature tracing her fingers up and down her jaw. Playing with her hair and kissing her cheeks as if she didn't have her sharp nails digging into the young girls' flesh. " My darling child, you make me so very happy." Sweetly choking under her majesty hands, she loses all feeling in her body. She is numb and yet wouldn't have it any other way. "Sweetie, you are mine, you belong to me. I care about you. I love you, child. I love you" Staring into her ice blue soulless eyes for the last time, her vision faded to black….. Nyssa wakes up screaming.
