“Four days?!” Ashleigh shouted. “I’ve been asleep for four days!”
‘Yes,’ Lily replied. ‘Using my power drains your energy. Using it as much as you did that day and getting seriously injured severely depleted your reserves.’
Ashleigh could not believe what she was hearing.
Four days was long, especially when the Dark Queen was still out there and plotting.
She removed the oxygen from her nose and began to pull at her IV.
‘I don’t recommend you do that….’ Lily whispered.
“I can’t just stay in this bed!” Ashleigh shouted angrily.
“Excuse me?” a familiar voice came from the door. “Just what do you think you are doing?”
Ashleigh turned to see Bell looking at her with irritation.
“Bell…” Ashleigh smiled. “I was just….”
“Trying to escape the hospital when your body is not ready to leave this room?” Bell suggested with a bright smile.
Ashleigh sighed.
“Bell, The Dark Queen is still out there… I can’t just lay here doing nothing… I need to get to Summer.”
