Her Unwanted Companion

"Are you sure you're fine?" Bella asked for a second time since she came to help Seira in preparing her dress. Her eyes seemed to be a bit swollen and she looked like she hadn't slept a wink. There was even a bruise on her arm and neck.

Seira nodded "Yeah, I'm fine, I just can't sleep last night"

Bella knew something was off but she chose to not force her to talk. With one last comb to her hair, she stepped back. She decided to braid her long white hair and it was one of her best decisions because it matched her yellow floral dress.

Seira stares at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were still lifeless and with the help of Bella, her swollen eyes from crying last night were concealed. Fortunately, there was a long-sleeved dress that reached right below her chin to cover her bruised arm and neck.
