Why Was She Slapped?

"Hazel! Hazel!" Hazel could feel that someone was shaking her unconscious body and the voice was filled with worry but no matter how much she tried, her eyes were not opening.

She felt a strong pain in her forehead as if all the veins of her forehead had been pulled apart. The pain was bearable. But more than that she felt a strange loss and grief as if she had lost the one who loved her truly.

"Hazel, snap out of your dream!" The loud yell shook her and her eyes snapped open when she felt physical pain too.

Her hands reached her cheeks instinctively as it burnt and then glared at the vampire who had slapped her. But to her surprise, he was neither angry nor embarrassed but relieved.

"Oh, thank goodness you are okay!" she could see that he was genuinely worried about her and glad that she was sitting in front of him but how?

The images she had seen flashed past her eyes once again and her eyes widened when he nodded.
