Thump… thump
Ana, deafened by the sound of her beating heart, found herself engulfed in a deluge of emotions, most of which were negative, ranging from worry to outright fear.
This wasn't fear born out of an impending sense of death.
No, it was the kind of fear prey would have when faced with predators or the type a child would have when faced with an abusive parent.
Hearing Aiden call her name, Ana found herself slowly being dragged back to the life she sorely wished to escape from.
It was a nightmare, to return to the mundane life of being the Guardian Dragon.
She wished for more… to explore the world, to see it for what it truly was.
After having already tasted just a tiny bit, Ana was reluctant to return but she knew that except a miracle were to happen here, there was no way she could escape.
At this moment, she found herself empathizing with Hala.
