Troy groaned as he rolled onto his side, his body aching from the previous night's training session with Jace. His limbs felt like lead, and for once, he just wanted to lie in bed all day. No fights, no training, no lectures just peace.
Then his phone buzzed.
He squinted at the screen, still half-asleep. It was a message from Annie.
Annie: Hey, can you come over? I need help with something. Please?
Troy sighed. He was really hoping for a lazy Saturday, but Annie had always been there for him. He couldn't just ignore her.
Troy: What kind of help?
Her reply came instantly.
Annie: Just come over!
That was suspicious.
Dragging himself out of bed, he quickly freshened up, threw on a simple hoodie and jeans, and left his apartment. It didn't take long before he arrived at Annie's house, a cozy looking place covered in vines and greenery, no surprise, given her plant-based abilities. He barely had time to knock before the door swung open.
