Successor

Groaning softly, Alice found herself laying down on a bed within the library. Both Allura and Kaden were working on some documents nearby.

Both of them had a serious expression on their face and even Allura was in a rare state of silence.

Her frown only deepened the further she read.

Sitting her, Alice held her head as her movements alerted the two.

"Ah, you're awake. Are you feeling better? What happened?" Allura asked, taking this chance to have a break from paperwork.

"Mnm, sorry. I'm feeling better now, how long was I out for?" Alice nodded with a small smile while Allura was checking her body to see if there was anything else that was wrong.

"You were out for 2 hours." Kaden chimed in.

Hearing this, Alice paused in surprise.

2 hours? She had only talked to Cayla briefly and nothing more. Yet that still knocked her out for 2 hours.
