The Awakening

*Kiara's POV*

"You should drink something,"Carlotta said, coming to stand beside me. "I could make you some tea."

The scent of herbs and antiseptic invaded my lungs and sat there,a cautious reminder of the situation I was in. I felt like I could throw up any minute.

"I'm not thirsty."I replied,curtly.

But Carlotta was worried,she placed her gloved hand on my shaking hand and squeezed it reassuringly.

"Kiara,you at least have to–"

"I am not thirsty."I said firmly,removing my hand from her grasp. I was angry,she gave me false hope,told me everything will be okay,that I could handle all this,that the wizards will do a good job.It was all to try to calm me,I miss when she was unapologetically realistic.

"Perhaps grab a bite then?I have made your favourite."

"No."

She watched me with pity took a deep sigh and walked outside in apparent frustration.
