How to Forgive

Part 22

??? POV
Floating.

A feeling of ecstasy. Warmth. Peace.

I felt myself sink deeper and deeper. I let go of hovering inhibitions.

Suddenly I was thrust to the surface.

I woke with a start, sweat heading down my neck, gasping for air.

I rubbed my eyes, focusing them on the room I had awakened in.

Warm, silk sheets, a king sized bed, an empty armour stand. Shelves of books lining the walls, and a desk underneath a window with a mess of papers and different maps.

Then I heard the unmistakable sound, of the knob turning. Panicked I pulled the covers over my head and did my best to pretend I was still out cold.

I heard the creak of the door open. I focused on breathing deeply and steadily. Trying to think back to how I got caught in this mess.

Wait.

How did I get in this mess?

I can't seem to remember anything up until this point.

Where am I?

Hell. WHO AM I?

I felt a hand on my arm. Something in me knew not to move. The hand rubbed back and forth, lovingly. Then moved to my head, I could feel my hair moving back and forth.

Then it was gone. I heard the footsteps lead to the door, open it and close it softly behind.

I let out a breath of air I didn't know I was holding.

The cool air outside the sheets hit me like a brick.

Swinging out of the bed, I stand up, immediately recognizing the feeling of carpet between my toes.

I look down at what I was wearing.

Simple PJs.

Knowing hostiles could be anywhere, I went with my gut, telling me to be wary.

I scan the room once more, this time I'm search of any sort of weapon or sharp object that could be utilized in combat.

I spot a knife stabbed through a map cast to the side.

Instantly I wedge it out of place and test it's weight.

The hair on the back of my neck stood on end as I felt someone's presence behind me. I slashed with the knife in a semicircle, to cut through air.

'How had I known to do that?' I thought.

Still on guard I notice a figure by the window, gazing out at the pink sky.

"So you're awake?" They murmured.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?"

Oop. I think I lied guys... I did not in fact update. Partly because as soon I did last time I was immediately swarmed by extra amounts of school work. And dumb(butt) me decided to take a SUMMER CLASS. Why, You ask? Because HEY COVID STILL HERE. I might as well be extra. Hehehehe

Anyways. Yeah I'm totally behind, but in the span of then and now. FRIGGIN SOMEHOW?!!! This story is #1 in Trollhunters? WHAT?!!!! Please let me know what I need to do to celebrate and actually keep updating, not 2 months apart. XD.
