Chapter 6

Kiara

I wake up with a gasp, trying to calm my laboring gasps of air. The nightmares. The night terrors, they haunt me every night. If not, then a dreamless night.

Everything that happened, dawns over me: the death of her mom, Declan deciding to be my guardian.

Thank God I didn't wake anyone else. I don't wanna be more of a burden than I already am.

I glanced up catching the sight of the fake plastic constellation brightening up the room. I look around my childhood room. The lilac walls still remain, no signs of the colour chipping or molding. The window divan still looks fluffy. My soft toys and plushies are in their respective places, the way I used to place them.

I open my mouth to say something. I realize my mouth is dry and hoarse. I need water. I say to myself. Looking around the room for any signs for water, I find none. 3:00am the clock flashes.

I sigh, getting out of bed. When I exit the room. I forgot the house- sorry mansion is humongous. I look around the hallway. But I need water or I'm gonna die of thirst.

I feel like black widow on a mission. I go down the staircase trying to find the kitchen.

Found it. Entering the kitchen, I find the water and chug it.

My stomach grumbles. No no not now. I don't want to search cabinets unannounced. I always feel like I'm intruding. Time to go back to my cave. I carefully sneak back up.

Mission accomplished

I lay back in bed. I decide on checking if Daisy is awake.

We talked a little more until I fell asleep.

THIRD PERSON

Kiara opened her eyes. "When did I fall asleep?" She wondered. Yawning, she sat back on the bed.

She took a shower, and decided to wear a comfy fit. Some leggings and a hoodie. I have to reintroduce myself to my brothers today. She groaned at the thought.

Checking the time, it was currently 8:00am. She went downstairs, sitting on the kitchen counter. Waiting for someone to wake.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, Declan walked towards the kitchen, straightening his tie. He was surprised that Kiara was awake so early.
