Here's the rest of the Chapter 1 in 'A War From Inside'

Then, a cloaked figure stepped inside the prison, shrouded in a thin cloak that swept across the floor, guided by a swift paw. The hood only added an air of mystery. The temperature seemed to drop suddenly, Lilly felt a lot more worried now. After that, the figure raised his lantern, and let his hood fall back. The young rabbit was lost for words at the creature's appearance.

He was a stoat, but larger than the average vermin, and certainly more dangerous looking. His shape was sinewy and what fur was visible was well cared for. Even his cold eyes had a glint of sharp cunning. Though she was young, she knew that this beast meant trouble. As for a weapon, why he carried she didn't recognize. It appeared to be a type of club, hewn from stone. Yet it had the slight shape of a sword, only a little shorter.

The creature himself had a vicious face, patterned with a dark chocolate gradient mask, almost like a ferret, with a rich caramel and cream for his other colors. Lilly didn't quite have the time to note his eye color before he spoke. His voice was smooth, persuasive let grating, warning.

"Ahha... Only a young rabbit I presume. You are one of our— let's say newer prisoners I guess? Most don't stay long... No problem, anyhow. I warn you you'd not need to worry about your dear family... I took care of them personally. They're in good hands, so don't fear." His voice was laced with poisoned sarcasm.

Lilly could feel her face growing warm, eyes dampening from a gathering hot moisture. She could see her sister's dark face in her mind's eye, shining sadly, and echo of memories. Her mother, her father... And her grandfather. How she and her sibling had done everything together... How could that all be gone? The stoat could tell he had hit a nerve, and smiled a little.

"You poor dear thing, I didn't hurt your feelings did I?" He asked, making her only more mentally agonized. It was obvious he was a bully who liked to make other's lives miserable. Lilly, not exactly grasping the danger of the situation, spoke out in a trembling voice.

"What did you do to them?! I—" She stopped herself, shaking a little.

"Nothing absolutely nothing m'dear. You did put the words into my mouth."

You foul creature! She thought, expression laced with venom. She didn't know what to say, where to go, what to do. She was lost, and the dark presence she felt all around her wreathed of desolate darkness. Was someone else there. It was to sinister... And cast a hopeless feeling into her heart. ''Someone please help me... Anyone.''

Lilly didn't say anything more, by the time she had looked up, the stoat s gone, but the evil presence was not. The tri-toned rabbit tried to recall the nursery stories and rhymes her grandfather had told her and her sister, of the to great Lords who ruled the land beyond physics. Her sister had known so much more, even being her tin, and a bit unruly for obedience, she had still always been so... Connected. Okay, she got easily startled, more than Lilly, and had a tendency to be a bit sharp tongued, but always attentive to the mental world. The one Lilly could not yet understand.

She knew of hope, of justice and truth. Honesty was always on her min, integrity; all the skills of a good beast, but she could not understand that darkness. Lilly felt a strong heartache, if only her sister could be in her place. ''I bet you'd know what to do... I wish you were by my side sis. What happened? By didn't I listen when I had the chance... Why?''

The darkness made her feel lonely, solemn, and the forlorn silence restricted her from speaking aloud. She thought she heard a small sound, as if off in the distance, but the young maid wasn't sure. What was there left to do? She needed help, and could only hope this was help, not for the purpose to hurt.

(That's what I added onto the last, but I'm not sure how you prefer me to continue.)
