Hallucination

Alora wasn't struggling, she was silently crying in her sleep. Rarely sobs were slipping her lips. Arihan couldn't believe he was doing all these. He went to her and shook her arm, "Princess Alora… Princess Alora…"

Alora gasped awake as she sat on the couch breathing heavily. Her moist eyes fell on Arihan who was in the same clothes she remembers seeing. Her gaze went around, the scrolls were still on the table and she was in the study room.

When she slept the previous night, a dream had turned into her nightmare. She was trying to find the protection charm in the woods when the darkness swallowed her. 

She was walking aimlessly again, making her afraid she might not wake up for many days and everyone will be worried. Only when she woke up in the morning and found everything in its place, she was able to breathe in relief.
