THE DANGEROUS CONFRONTATION

The next morning Jasmine woke up with a banging headache.

She pressed her fingers at her temple and very slowly rose sat up in bed.

She decided to go out and get some medicine that would ease the pain when she saw her dress from last night slung on a chair in a corner.

And then the events of last night came flashing back in.

She shook her head to will herself to forget all that had happened.

She got up and went out of her bedroom.

Loren was already up mixing potions.

"Good morning." She mumbled as she headed to a shelf where she would find some medicine.

"Good morning to you too." He nodded.

She went on looking for an antidote to her new headache and barely even heard him greet her.

"Someone is a bad mood this morning." He said as he read his book. "You should be happy. It's the final and most important day of the ritual."
