When Bianca awoke the next morning, it wasn't to the sound of bluebirds singing at her window, or even to the haunting nightmares she'd become accustomed to. It wasn't even to her obnoxiously loud alarm she grew to detest, urging her to get up for school.

It was to her phone. Buzzing more frenetically than the hive of wasps that stung Pope at Freedman's church.

With a soft groan, Bianca rolled over and blindly reached for her phone which she could feel vibrating somewhere around the bedsheets. It was fully charged now, surprisingly. It must've fallen out of her pocket last night when she was—

With a jolt, Bianca's eyes snapped open and she doubled over.

Sunlight streamed in through the window of Sarah's room to her but it did nothing to alleviate the pounding in her heart. Her fingers gripped the bedsheets tighter as thoughts raced through her mind.

She slept over at Tannyhill. With Rafe most likely in the other room. She showed up at his doorstep after attempting to steal the Cross of Santo Domingo that he most likely had. The Pogues were probably wondering where she was. Oh god, her mother was probably wondering where she went. And she had to get ready for school.

Oh, shit. School.

Those few hours of sleep were both a blessing and a curse because now that Bianca was more alert, she was quickly coming to terms with how screwed she truly was. Her phone buzzing again broke her out of her stupor and when she checked who was messaging her, she realized it was Kiara.

Through her cracked screen, the messages read;
