`ASTRID, ASTRID', she heard someone shouting her name. She slowly opened her eyes, adjusting to the light of the room, to see Ace, Hadwin and Abigail looking at her with concern.
Ace's POV
Ace who was winning Monopoly with much fanfare glanced occasionally at the sleeping Astrid, but when her brows furrowed, and her mouth opened gulping air as if running he stopped playing. His action prompted his siblings to turn to his line of sight and land on Astrid.
He dashed to her side and gently shook her shoulder. He touched her back which was soaked wet with sweat, which was weird because the air conditioning was on full. Hadwin was worried about her state. Suddenly her hands snapped to her mouth, shivering with fear.
`Astrid, this is not funny. Wake up!', Hadwin tried to pry her hands away from her but she held her mouth tight, afraid if she made a sound the thing would kill her.
