THE PENALTY FOR A LIE

Rissa's eyelash fluttered open, a look of confusion grace her features before it turned into realization, then horror! She jumped up from the bed but I pushed her back gently. She turned to look at me, her eyes filled with a lot of questions and worry.

"Wha…what happened?" She asked me her voice hoarse.

I smiled softly at her. "What do you remember?"

Rissa closed her eyes, releasing a long groan as she rolled on the bed. "Oh gods, Trevor."

"Yes, Trevor, quite the troublemaker that one." I said with raised brows, "He sure stirred up the entire court with his talks."

"Gods, why did he have to come and ruin everything?" Rissa groaned placing a hand on her forehead.
