Not a healer.

~Dahlia's POV~ 

For the rest of the day, I refused to leave my room due to fear. I feared that Sadie may have informed the other girls about what happened earlier with Madame Berlin; I feared that I would be branded a witch.

And worse…. I feared for myself. I was afraid of myself, and I couldn't help but think about the events of today.

How did I do that?

How did I manage to heal Madame Berlin without doing so much?

Since when did I become a healer?

A knock on my door snapped me out of my reverie, and thinking that I was about to be attacked by other slave girls, or berated for what I had done, I shuffled away from the door, my eyes wide as I backed into a corner of the room.

But the incessant knocking didn't stop. The person didn't leave.

My breath hitched when the rasp knock became even louder and I squeezed my eyes shut, my heart pounding against my chest as I listened to the sound of shuffling feet by the door.
