But what did she want from me? Was she here to cause trouble, or was she in trouble herself? My mind raced as | tried to figure out what to do. Should | open the door and see what she wanted, or should | ignore her and hope she went away? But what if Aisha was in trouble?

Amaid entered, her head bowed low. “My Lady, your presence is requested,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
She nodded, she cast me one hateful look before she turned and left the room, the door closing softly behind her.
As | stepped out into the hallway, my stomach rumbled, reminding me that | was overdue for a meal. | spotted Aisha a few feet away, and she quickly enveloped me in a tight hug.
“Where’s your room?” | asked, pulling away from her embrace.
She pointed down the hall to a door three rooms away from mine. “I’m right here if you need me,” she said, her voice reassuring. I smiled.

mate.
