A CHILD’S MISUNDERSTANDING

Oh shit! I looked around as I realized that he was right. I couldn't believe it. I was so sure that this man was in my room, but as he calmly pointed out, I was in his. How could I have made such a mistake? I felt my face flush with embarrassment at my overreaction.

I stepped away from him, retracting my claws as I bowed my head at him. "I am so sorry, I must have gotten confused for a minute there." I apologized still feeling embarrassed.

I tried to remember how I had ended up here. I was with Ravenna but that's the only thing I could remember and the dream I had, the dream that still left me shaky. I felt my legs buckle underneath me.

"Are you okay Arianne?" Ivan asked me.

I nodded my head at him, "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, just a little… faint." I said just as I collapsed but Ivan caught me in his arms.

"Easy there little one." He says as he held on to my waist, "How about some fresh air?" He asked before he proceeded to lead me to the balcony.
