a sickness

Kiera sat at the edge of her bed. She was in the same room she had been in when they first arrived in Solomon, but so much has changed between then and now. She was in love with a man that put her entire homeland in danger.

She brought her head down into her hands, clutching at her hair.

She could still smell his scent on her. It was infuriating but at the same time managed to calm her down somewhat. 

Kiera took in deep breaths. There was a knock at the door but she ignored it, putting more importance on breathing in through her nose and out through her mouth. It was how they taught young Beasts how to control themselves if their emotions were on the cusp of getting out of hand.

She heard his footsteps after he opened the door and went inside her room.

"Leave." She said without looking at him. She was too cowardly to do so.
