Chapter 35 : Meeting the Parents

***

HEMERA’S POV

The next time I wake up, I'm able to move, if only a little. It still hurts like h*ll, but not as bad. I groan softly as I push myself upright, wincing as the healing skin pulls and cracks. Oww, big mistake!

I yawn and rub my eyes but wince as I try to lift my arms up. Oh, yeah, that's not going to work. I groan and curl into myself as I look up. I can't help but smile through the pain when I see Nia. He's sitting in the chair he was in the first time I woke up, his cheek against his fist, utterly dead to the world. A damp towel is around his neck, and his hair is more frizzy than usual as if he didn't properly take care of it after washing it.
