THUD! THUD! THUD!
In the dead of night.
Stella Sterling was sleeping when a series of loud thuds jolted her from her dreams.
The deafening thuds exploded right by her ears, as if something was smashing down on her head, striking fear into her heart.
She shot up in bed, gasping for air. The booming impacts left a heavy, oppressive feeling in her chest.
"It's hailing!"
She murmured, her hand instinctively reaching for her calf, where a phantom ache began to throb.
'The pain from when the hail hit my calf in my past life... I still remember it so vividly!'
After a long moment, Stella Sterling finally calmed down, her gaze settling. 'This isn't my past life anymore. I don't have to run and hide, searching for shelter.'
Now, she had a secure shelter. She had even had the roof reinforced, so she didn't have to worry about the hail breaking through. 'I'm safe!'
