Why Am I Here?

The white ceiling became clearer until she noticed a gold intricate design. Three heads blocked her vision and loomed over her. Abruptly, her last memories of the palace in chaos bring forefront to her mind.

"You're awake!" Bella exclaimed.

"Thank God, you're all safe," she said in a hoarse whisper after realizing her three friends were in front of her. Her throat feels so dry.

"Water, water," Almira said, backing away and rushing to the table in the middle of the room.

Gia helped Seira sit up on the bed. She sat up weakly, using her left hand to support her body while Gia's hand was on her back.

Seira mouthed thank you to Gia. She was happy to see Gia and the two girls. Thank goodness, they didn't get too hurt in the sudden attack.

"Here"

She takes the glass of water Almira offered and gulps the liquid in one go. Relief washed over her when the cold water passed on her dry throat.
