Crystal sighed as she stopped outside the castle wall. She was surprised that no one had tried to stop her so far. With a strong swing she let go of the strong rope with the claw on the end, listening for it to hook on the upper wall. With that done, she tugged on the rope then began to silently climb the wall. It was now way past dark and she shivered in her dress as a cold breeze hit her.  Once at the top, the young princess balanced herself on the wall and walked along it till she reached an open window of the tower in which her friend was being held.<br/><br/>Inside, Crystal leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. Why had she done this again? Her fear of heights had almost stopped her from climbing that wall but she needed to reach her friend and badly. There was no telling what that cruel man had done to her. After several minutes of silence and hard breathing, the Princess started forward again. She slowly climbed the circular stairs, her back to the wall so that she could look both forward and back at the same time.<br/><br/>The top of the stairs was dark but Crystal could see the moonlight shining on Danielle, her wrists above her head as she dangled from the ceiling. She fell beside the locked door, her eyes upon the girl. "Oh Danielle, what has he done to you?" She asked in a whisper. Crystal was so very tired and struggled to stand as she looked around for the keys to unlock the door. Once she got them she found the lever and struggled with that as well.
