Elyssa Raine
I blinked my heavy eyes open, my view hazy at first. But I didn't miss the figure on the other side of the room, bent awkwardly beside the bed. My heard hammered as I stood up, trying to figure out who it was. The room being dark didn't help as the only light available was that of the small lamp on the desk.
"Mara?". I approached the figure gently and the person raised their head. Relief flushed through me when I realized it was indeed Mara and not some creepy person that had sneak into our room. " You scared me. Why are you—". I paused when I heard sniffles from her.
Is she crying?
I crouched to her level in panic " Hey what's wrong?".
Her eyes brimmed with fresh tears and her lips trembled "I-I-I am in trouble, Lyssa ".
My heart beat wildly against my chest " What do you mean you're in trouble?".
