Blessing in Disguise

Electra's POV 

 I sat on the edge of my bed, running a hand through my messed-up hair, while trying to piece together my restless thoughts from the night before. I had barely gotten any sleep last night because every time I closed my eyes, I saw Seraphina's pale face, her trembling form, and the fear in her eyes.

I was supposed to be happy, happy that for the first time in my life, I wasn't the one going through the pain, and that terrible pain was now someone else's, but I wasn't happy. I couldn't bring myself to be, and I hated it very much.

 It wasn't like me to care about anyone else, especially in a situation that benefitted me so greatly, but knowing that Seraphina was the one going through the pain that I was supposed to be going through just didn't sit right with me.
