Alone - Part 1

Histoire had been awake even when Keren shifted in the bed beside her and raised her head. The sun's full form had appeared in the sky, birds were chirping, perched on the trees in the backyard and on the window ledge. These chirps had helped Histoire to stay awake the remaining two hours after she woke up. Them and the hurricane of thoughts swirling in her mind and keeping it active. The bags underneath her eyes were a cause for concern and they certainly did have said effect on Keren who immediately sat up upon seeing them.

"Histoire? Were you awake this entire-"

"Keren, I'm going to need you to leave the mansion," Histoire interrupted, her voice hoarse. That was attributed to the thirst she felt all night while she was too afraid to go down for a glass of water or any other beverage. Keren was taken aback by her words, so much so that she properly sat up by straightened her back and twisting her upper body to face Histoire from the height above her.
