Evangeline woke up to chaos.
Loud, persistent voices echoed through the thin motel walls.
"We have to see her!"
"Just let us in!"
"Only a word, please!"
"We have to see her!"
She blinked against the dim morning light filtering through the dusty curtains, her mind was still groggy with sleep and for a moment, she wasn't sure if she was still dreaming.
Then she heard the pounding on the door.
It was loud and urgent.
Her body jolted awake.
"What the hell?"
Across the room, Anakin groaned softly.
He was half-buried under the sheets with Sereia's leg draped heavily across his torso.
Another loud knock rattled the door.
Anakin let out a deep, suffering sigh. "I swear to the gods if this is some other trick from the system…"
He shoved Sereia's leg off him and she crashed onto the floor with a loud thud.
"Ow." She groaned while rubbing her head. "What was that for?"
