The Reunion

As I woke up, I saw and heard Ren and Nate whispering to each other. I squinted my eyes at them. They haven’t noticed that I have already woken up. “What are you guys talking about?” I was curious why they have such an expression on their faces.

By the looks of it, Nate was grabbing Ren’s arm like he was stopping him from doing something. I rubbed my eyes awake and noticed how the sky was still dark. Dawn was still breaking.

My brows furrowed as I switched my attention back to them. “What are you guys doing-” Then a thought suddenly occurred to me. Why was I asleep? How long was I asleep?

Then I remembered the pain that I experienced and started to hug my stomach and clutch my eye. “Guys, it’s Ace. I think…” I trailed off as I looked at them.

Ren and Nate exchanged glances. Nate’s eyes darkened. “No. Let her rest.”

Ren made an annoyed sound and pulled his arm from Nate. “That won’t stop her and you know that.” He told him.
