"Sasha...Sasha." A light voice in a whisper called out to her in the middle of the night. Disturbed by it she tried to open her eyes but she couldn't see. Everything was pitch black. All of a sudden she could feel her body moving on its own volition.
Getting out of bed she unlatched the door to the balcony. Panicked she tried to scream for help but she couldn't move her lips either. Finally, her body climbed onto the railing of the balcony and she could feel herself teetering over the edge. Is this how she was going to die? Her room was several floors above the ground, no one could ever survive falling from this height. She began to feel tears fall from her eyes."Sasha" the voice called out again and with a step forward she felt herself fall. "No, not again," she screamed inwardly. She was sure she was about to hit the ground when she was suddenly caught in mid-air and enveloped in a warm embrace. Just then the eyes which had turned Hazel brown and hollow a second ago retained their blue hue and she could see again. Realising that she was being carried up by Orion who suddenly possessed a pair of white feathery wings she held onto him tighter. She was frozen with fright by the time Orion placed her back on the balcony.
"What's wrong with you, were you trying to take your own life?" Before she had a chance to respond she went limp and lost consciousness in his arms. "Sasha!" he called to her but she was completely knocked out. "Guards, send for the physician immediately!" Orion barked the orders as he carried her back to his quarters.
"Here I am, Sire.' After an hour the physician finally arrived. "What seems to be the problem?" assuming it was Orion he asked. "Not me, attend to her" he pointed to the pale woman sprawled on his bed.
