Abandoning Herself 1

[First Person POV: Eden ]

"Sigh..."

"What are you doing?"

Letting out a sigh, I opened my eyes and looked at Grace.

Her extended hand, which was gently poking my face, was suddenly stopped in mid-air as she gave me a dumbfounded look.

"You think I will fall asleep and leave you unprotected?" I asked, gently patting her head with a small smile.

"Ahh..."

"Stay still," I told her sternly, applying pressure to her head as she tried to get up.

Gently patting her head, I closed my eyes I thought about last night.

The first thing I came to realize was that she wasn't a real entity.

The thing I saw wasn't a real boy but an illusion or a spirit body, something like that.

And second That damn snake was applying pressure on both Aeloria and Grace, ensuring that neither of them woke up while she was talking with me.

'Was she trying to use them as hostages?'
