He caressed my hair gently, his fingertips touching large chunks of silky strands, ❝I wanted to give you a chance to win and escape me. I couldn't wait anymore. I need you now.❞

"Fear cuts deeper than swords." ― George R.R. Martin
I couldn't pay attention in Economics class. Although the early warm rays of sunshine brought me peace for a moment, the knot of fear in my stomach refused to go away. I usually fall asleep in this class, but after learning of Daemon's game, I'm afraid to fall asleep even for a second. After the visit to the Nether Realm, I avoided the darkness, fearing that smooth pale hands would emerge from the darkness and drag me back to hell. I haven't slept for two days and surprisingly, I was wide awake. My teacher, Mr. Melton continued to drone about the importance of GDP to the national economy and the next words he said after, I tuned out.
I turned and saw Angelo give me his usual warm smile in class mouthing "I'm bored" while rolling his eyes. I gave him a wide grin just to hide the fact that I haven't slept for two days and the fact I was so dizzy. Thank the Lord for concealer and makeup.

Blinking a few times to prevent myself from succumbing to sleep, a small piece of paper hit my cheek and fell on my desk. Out of habit, I glanced at Brittany who was giving me a knowing look. I read the note, pretending as if I was reading the textbook when my teacher's suspicious eyes landed on me.
You look like crap, have you slept at all?The note read.
I glanced at Brittany and shook my head. The bell rang and I gathered my things before the small hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I looked around the almost empty classroom only to see busy students gathering their stuff.
