Chapter Ten

Annora heard muffled laughter. Who was laughing? Something about that laugh was earging her to open her eyes and return to consciousness. Groaning she buried her head deeper into the pillow. Whoever it was just needed to shut up and let her sleep.

"Wow Annora, I barely escape death to return to you and this is all I get?" the voice said irritated. That sounded like something Liam would say.

Annora's smile widened
