29: Intruder

×Anastasia×

Fuck. Fuck.

I can't recognize the voice. How did they get into my house? I was in no position to fight. My skin wet with water, my chest ached. I'm still healing. I went into a cursed forest for fuck sakes. Can't I get a break?

I pulled at my charm bracelet, Dell said he would always come to my rescue but he seemed like Griffin was going through something because of how annoyed Dell looked and why he couldn't stay after receiving a text.

I signed, whoever this Intruder is, I'll have to handle them on my own. I tugged my bracelet one more time for good measure, before forcing my body to rise and patting myself dry with the towel. I dropped it and tapped around for the clothes I'd brought in. I found only something soft.

My robe. I pulled it on, then proceeded to search for something I could use as a weapon.

'I can defend you. We'll need to shift.'

We can't. That lady told me it's risky to shift at this point of healing. It's a dangerous idea.

I won't add to my problems.
