ARTEMISIA

I awoke with a start.

My eyes darted around the room as I tried to recall the reason my heart was thumping fast.

I was aware I had a nightmare. But, just like every other night, I couldn't remember what I had dreamt about.

Sighing, I gripped my phone that was underneath my pillow and checked what the time was.

I noticed it was only a few minutes past 10 which meant, I had slept after lying on the bed and it was only for a few minutes.

"Geez." I groaned whilst rubbing my tummy as it grumbled. I realized I hadn't eaten anything since after the wedding was done today.

I had been thinking of what to do to get me out of the situation I was in, to think about food.

I stepped out of the room to the kitchen which was together with the living room. My hand found the switch on the wall, light flooded into the room as I clicked on it.

My eyes dimmed and I blinked several times before they got accustomed to the brightness.
