Bab 174: Burning and Freezing

[Flashback continued...]

"Are you feeling better now?" asked Shane as he joined Emily on the bed and placed a cup of hot chocolate in her freezing hands.

The girl immediately shook her head in denial before indulging herself in the hot chocolate that she was holding in her hands. She needed something to distract herself and it would be an understatement to say that she was tired beyond words.

The current state of her body was like that of a dead body. It was refusing to function at all just like her mind which was completely burnt out at the moment.

It was half-past five in the morning and her body still refused to give her a break. Five minutes before her birthday, she was listening to Shadow talk about her not being a human unlike the rest of her family members. And then two minutes past midnight, she was whimpering as an agonizing pain took over her body.
