CAUGHT IN THE ACT

The weight of two sleepless nights finally caught up with Angel in the early hours of dawn.

She fell into a deep sleep, and for the first time in a while, she barely dreamt.

When she opened her eyes again, it was because of the flickering of a light.

She sat up, and swiftly looked around her to see if there was someone else in the room.

However, the light returned to normal soon, and her eyes went to the big clock, where she saw it was already 12pm.

Her hand flew to her pounding heart, as she tried to calm it down.

She looked around again, and even sniffed the air.

There was still no sign of Ares, which only meant whatever happened was more serious than she imagined.

Rolling out of bed, she hopped into the shower.

She returned to the room at the same time a knock sounded on the door.

Her hands went to the towel around her chest, because she knew in a few seconds, the door would open.
