Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-six : Cat whiskers And Nose

Maya's POV

Heart in my throat, I quickly balled up my hands into fists and approached the door with a sense of caution. I was still reeling from the effect of that nightmare so my imagination was pretty high at the moment. 

As if to heighten the spookiness of this moment, a flash of lightning lit my room accompanied by a deafening thunderclap. 

I fought against the urge to cower away in fear, instead steeled my heart and opened the door in one clean move. 

I was prepared to fight against any attack that would come at me but surprisingly, the supposed attacker was a lot of inches shorter than me. 

"Isabella? " I asked, just to confirm it was really her "What are you doing here? "

Releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding, I rubbed the bridge of my nose and groaned in relief. So it was Isabella after all and not an attacker as I envisaged?
