Chương 46: Home - Part 1

The sound of the fire crackling woke me up from my deep slumber, pulling me from the darkness of sleep. I fluttered my eyes open, feeling the heaviness of my lids. Blinking my eyes, I took a few moments for them to become accustomed to the overwhelming brightness that took over me.

After a few minutes of regaining consciousness, I finally felt the warmth around me. It was comforting, after so long being in the cold. What was beneath me was no longer the hard prison floor, but a soft, comfortable bed.

I glanced to my side, finding Luke, who was fast asleep in the chair next to my bed. Despite being asleep, his hand was holding mine as if he was scared of losing me. A feeling of relief swept over me the moment I saw him by my side. His presence made me realize that I was now safe from any danger.
