I woke up gasping, my eyelids fluttering open abruptly. The scent hit me first.
Lavender, with a touch of natural herbs and burning wood. Then my eyelids fluttered open.
The room was large, with a high ceiling and a chandelier hanging from it. It had a regal touch to it, something straight out of a castle. It was like nothing I'd ever seen.
When I tried to sit up, I realized I was lying on a soft mattress. I heard groaning beside me and I whipped my head to see Mira stirring in the bed next to mine.
That's when I realized the other beds with girls in them. They had kept all the girls in here, like a dormitory. Meaning the boys had the same arrangement.
"Mira," I called her name and her eyes immediately opened. She sat up abruptly, looking around as her brows creased.
"How on earth did we get here?" she asked, her voice still groggy as she rubbed her eyes.
"Can't remember…we passed out cold," I said. "Probably magic."
"I find that very weird."
I couldn't agree more.
