Re: Regulus/Andromeda
Bella was her sister, albeit older than Andromeda had remembered. It had been only natural to trust her. Of course, now things were different. Andromeda wasn't the sort to be beat simply because she was a woman. She wasn't the sort to be beat at all. It was that she had hoped to avoid in her past and it crushed her when she realized Bella had expected that for her future.
Andromeda had to laugh at that. "Bella was more wrong than she could ever imagine." If and when her sister ever found out about all of this, surely her life would be in forfeit.
