My eyelids fluttered open as bright light exploded in my vision. I groaned as my head throbbed. I pushed myself to sit up, despite the ache in my muscles. Scanning the room, I could tell I was in the academy's infirmary.
I was disoriented, unsure of how I had gotten here. As I looked around, my body instantly became rigid.
I wasn't alone. Tavian, Rhydian, and Kayden were here.
Tavian was seated on the sofa next to my bed, while Kayden sat on the sofa's armrest. Rhydian stood in a corner, staring outside the window.
I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat. What the hell was happening?
"What are you doing here?" I mumbled, my voice groggy. "What am I even doing here?"
Tavian scooted closer and spoke in a low tone. "You passed out at the library. Had to carry you here."
I did? "How very dramatic of me," I muttered under my breath.
