Chapter 17
I stared at my curtains as the sun inched higher with each passing hour, the moon giving way to its more loved counterpart.
Another sleepless night...
After my father passed, nightmares had been a frequent occurrence for me, many nights filled with intense fear and sadness when I was younger, as I grew older however, they had subsided. Now, with all this stress and uncertainty they had returned, and with that an insatiable hunger for rest that I would never receive.
After Ares left all I could do was cry, my mother had returned but she sensed something bad had happened so left me alone. No news from Aether yet, but I suspected if Ares had told his father of our plans, he would stay away for a while.
My head throbbed as the light began to infiltrate my bedroom, my stomach turning as soon as the thought of breakfast crossed my mind. I would have to go without eating for a while.
