My head hurts, so so so so bad.I can't help but whine as I roll over in bed.
In bed?
I peek one eye open, then the other. How did I get back to my room? I was locked in a chest last night.
Erebus...
Oh. Wait? Was he real? Was all of that real?! Did he carry me here?
I look around but nothing seems touched or out of place. Maybe when I hit my head I walked back to my room and I don't remember.
There's no way a man came to me in a dark locked chest and... Held me. Oh gosh.
My cheeks are on fire. He held me while I balled my eyes out. That's so embarrassing. No way that's true.
Hmmm If he's real- then maybe the library had information on him! They have books about nearly all the gods.
I jump out of bed but instantly regret it when my head throbs and body aches.
I need to take an extra long shower today to ease everything up. Luckily I don't have class until later so I have time to spare.
After about the longest shower I ever had, I put on another one of my dad's old sweaters, some knee socks, and my shoes. It's getting a little colder out soon I'll need a jacket, but I don't have one.
I can't remember if I ever had a jacket as a kid. Momma said we didn't have money for that stuff, so I'd just wear lots of dads old sweater when I walked anywhere. Our cities rivers used to freeze over and it would get so cold. I hope it's not like that here.
Once I finish my hair I go to open my door but stop when I remember- Serena lives here, and so do her friends, right below me. What if I run into them?
