The day went by with so much speed that I wasn't aware when the next day arrived. That wasn't important as I was face to face with Elaris and Ashira who played motionless.
I could still hear their heartbeat so I wasn't worried. The part that got me tense was how lots of eyes were on me, thinking of what next I would do to help.
*There is no way you will do it with all these people here, tell them to give you space, then take them to an upper room and do the needful*
I gulped my saliva and did as C.C instructed, with no protest, they complied and I took the mother and daughter to an upper room.
Elaris somehow still maintained beauty even with the withered body and wrinkled face. I wondered how pretty and sexy she could be when she is fully healthy.
I stood and observed every bit of her body. Her rope, once royal now hung loose over her frail body. Their golden threads now worn out, tarnished by time and sweat from fever.
