A Carbon Copy

Seraphina's POV

I jolted awake, startled by the sound of footsteps and voices around me. My heart raced as I tried to process what I was hearing. I was in my room just a moment ago, wasn't I? But the sound of a woman laughing and the faint sound of footsteps snapped me out of my thoughts.

This wasn't right.

My room was locked, and no one could have gotten in by this time. Ready to lash out at whoever thought it was funny to invade my privacy in the middle of the night, I opened my eyes fully with the intention to look around, but as soon as I did, my breath caught in my throat.

I wasn't in my room anymore.

The bed I'd fallen asleep on was gone, replaced by a strange, black-and-white sofa that was stiff and unfamiliar under me.

Confused, I sat up, the panic rising in my chest.

The murmurs continued, now clearer than before, and I turned my head to see figures moving in the distance.
