Volume 2: Chapter 53

Freyah couldn't bring herself to sleep, perhaps because she didn't truly need one. The night was peacefully silent, as if the world had reverted to its former, tranquil state. She remained seated, leaning against the cardboard of her makeshift bed for hours, her thoughts a restless tide.

The moon shone brightly, illuminating the entire village, casting a gentle, reassuring glow that seemed to whisper a promise of peace and the restoration of normalcy.

"Knock knock"

A knock interrupted Freyah's peaceful moment, her gazes narrowed towards the door, hesitating if she should answer it or not but then decided to answer it.

"Who is it?"

She asked, standing out of her bed and then walked towards the door to open it,

"Surprise…"

Monica and Gwenette were revealed standing outside both giggling as they whispered "surprise" not wanting to disturb the others sleeping in nearby rooms.
