38 Venus

I woke up to the door chime. "Please come in quietly the Princess is sleeping," I heard someone say quietly. Good I could keep sleeping then. So long as they stayed quiet it would be fine. Or so I thought. White hot pain ripped at me. My eyes flew open as I bit into the object I had been resting on. My nails clawed at it. Behind the pain I realized what I was attacking was Mensas. Mensas who had clearly not provoked me and yet was still bleeding. The taste of his blood was thick on my tongue but I could no more release him than I could end my pain. Not until the pain jack knifed hard.
