Chapter 49: Chapter 49

Serene's POV

I opened my eyes and found myself in the infirmary. Ayrden and Ralph were standing near me with worried looks on their faces. As soon as they saw me opening my eyes, they chuckled with joy.

"Welcome to the land of the living sleeping beauty. You gave us quite a scare." Ralph tried to tease me.

"How are you feeling, now? What happened?" Ayrden took my hand in hers and squeezed gently, her face squirming with worry.

"Ahh, I am a bit clumsy you know. Always bumping into people. This time, I slipped and bumped my head on the floor. Then I lost consciousness." I blatantly lied to my friends.

"That's why I said I would come with you. I had a bad feeling about this." Ralph narrowed his eyes. "Frela found you unconscious, lying in your pool of blood. The poor girl almost had a heart attack. We were all so worried. Artins Sensei was very furious, he thought someone had hurt you." Ayrden filled me in.
