Days had passed from there and I still had what Erebus said going through my head. "Would being with me really be so bad?" I couldn't seem to figure out how I felt about what he asked. I couldn't imagine myself with someone I barely knew or even had any feelings for. I avoided Erebus when I was in his class I would practice with someone else. We had stopped talking to each other and once in a while we would stare at one another. One day I was lying wide awake in my bed. It was bright outside and I wanted to get up but I didn't want to run into Erebus I couldn't face him not with me not knowing what to say to him. One morning I walked out of the dorm trying not to wake anyone and when I turned around I bumped into Johanna. "Miss Scarlett I was just coming to get you I figured you would be up at this time." She then turned and began walking and I followed her feeling a little uneasy about what she wanted to speak with me about. We went into a office that I realized was hers and I sat in the chair across from her. "Scarlett I've noticed that the past few days you've been waking up at midnight and even when the sun is shining you're still not in bed and you don't burn like other red fledglings do now that's none of my business but I have to ask why have you not been sleeping as long as you should?" I stayed silent not sure if I should tell her what Nyx told me I felt so scared that she wouldn't believe me. "Is it the hours? Because I understand that it can be strange sleeping during the day and then going to school at night." I shook my head and scooted closer. "No it's not that I uh just I, I..." She then grabbed my hand and I breathed. "You can tell me I promise whatever we speak about won't leave this room." I sighed and believed I could trust her. "I recently met with Nyx and she told me that she betrothed me and Erebus together and I don't know if I can go through with it when I barely know if I even have any feelings for him." She then let go of hand and went to her jewelry box. She then came back with a necklace that had a tiny rose quartz pendent. "Use this to help you, you have been beaten by a man most of your life and I think that you going through so much pain made it hard for to care for men but if you let this heal your heart then maybe you can figure out weather or not you want to be with Erebus."
