"Don't leave me,"

For the last couple of days, Alicia had no idea what was wrong with her, but she knew something was wrong somewhere. 

She had a series of dreams, but she wasn't sure which one was real and which was just a figment of her imagination. She wasn't even sure whether some of the things she had dreamt about Amber were real or not.

When she woke up earlier, she had also thought it was another dream, especially because of how everywhere had been so quiet. 

She had also doubted that it was real due to the fact that she was lying on a bed inside the palace and not on the cold floor in the dungeon. 

How was it possible that she was in the same place where they had tried to kill her? The thought of it made her anxious and it became difficult for her to breathe. 

Even though her head was hurting, it was a lot better than before. She slowly sat up on the bed and looked around the room, and her heart skipped a beat when she recognized her environment.
