I woke up in bed.My head hurt and felt sore.My cheeks burnt as I touch them.I got startled as I opened my eyes seeing Mercer a few inches away from me holding smelling salt in a thin transparent little pouch in front of my nose.I stood pushing him away.

"Sorry to startle you,miss." He apologised

When it came to me,Mercer started to become softer sometimes.I look around to see everyone standing around my side of the bed.I blinked away the sting in my eyes harshly.James gave me a cup of water.I barely drank any of it and put it on the bed table.Father laid a hand on my forehead checking if I have a temperature and removed it.James crounches beside me.

"Are you alright?" He asked

I got up onto my feet and immediately went down to the living room.I opened the door to go for a walk but a piece of paper lay in front of the door.I opened it revealing a message.The others ran down towards me.

"What does it say?" Father asked

"Dear sister

I must say I miss you very much together with father but we are in trouble.I am writing this in a rush I apologise.I'll see you again in a couple of days.

Your dearly Elizabeth,"

I looked at everyone confused.

"Trouble!" Father exclaimed

"Father please I am sure Elizabeth has an explanation!" I said before he got angered

He nodded.
