OUGHT TO BE PREPARED

Present Time,

ZEDA'S POV

I did not just slip and fall.

I fell on a shard of glass. My arm was bleeding but I still got up to fulfil the mission I had in mind.

Julian blocked my path immediately I stood up.

“Miss, you have to tell me what's happening.

F**k! You’re bleeding Zeda!" Julian said, alarmed.

His eyes popped like they could fall out of their sockets.

I could no longer feel ‘it’ and it was like Mr Ragnar’s presence was beginning to dissipate. Two other guards ran up to us. They must have seen my little display.

“There seem to be shards of glass on the floor. Get the one that cut the Miss and report to the authorities here about our finding.

Mr Ragnar won't be pleased with them and with us" Julian said to them, visibly annoyed.

Julian was about to lift me when my tongue found me.

"I'm all right. I can walk," I snapped, like he was the reason I lost sight of Mr Ragnar.

I never even had eyes on him.
