Something Was Following Her

Eli's stay was now guaranteed, but something made her stomach flutter tonight. She was meeting Valerie later and the thought left her with much anticipation and nervousness at the same time. Islinda knew how risky this could be and had to be careful. 

That was why she left for bed early knowing her stepmother and daughters would be bored with her absence. She was often their source of entertainment since Remy and Lillian do not often see eye to eye, bickering like children instead. 

Remy was all brawls without brains while Lillian was the smart, and sly one. 

Hence she often looked down on her older sister, thinking her foolish. But Remy has a lot of pride and could not stand her attitude. So they often end up in arguments.
