Chapter 44: Bewitchment

Hailey’s POV

A voice in the distance calls out to me and I open my eyes as I feel my heart pounding.

“Hailey, are you okay?” a familiar voice asks as I wake up.

I open my eyes and look around, scared and knowing something is wrong, but I can't identify what. The room I'm in doesn't look entirely familiar, but I start to recognize it slowly.

“Hales, are you okay?” he asks and sits down next to me. His torso is bare and his pajama pants are on, and his long dark hair is loose and unruly, falling over his shoulders. Again he has grown a beard, which affects his appearance making him look older than he is.

Angus places a hand on my shoulder and looks at me with concern, and I nod as I sit down on the bed.

“I had a weird dream, I think,” I answer without remembering and with a terrible headache that makes even blinking complicated.
