Flipped Her Over Her Shoulder

"My lady," 

A slight shake was all that was needed for Islinda to bolt upwards with a startled gasp, looking around with a racing heart until she recognized the Fae in front of her and that she was still in the library. She must have fallen asleep in the middle of her reading. 

"Lizy…" She said hoarsely, "What are you doing here?" 

"Sorry for the scare, my lady," Lizy lowered her head apologetically, "Aurelia sent me to check in on you and I came across you sleeping. Believe me, It was meant to be a gentle shake."

"No, it's alright," Islinda found herself yawning as she stretched her body. There was a crick in her neck and it was all thanks to her awkward sleeping position. She had picked another book to read earlier when she fell asleep. 

As if that was not enough, her stomach chose that moment to rumble loudly and a heat of embarrassment rose to her cheeks, "Sorry."
