"Her Majesty wants us to follow Ezra and his team to the Mortal Realm," Leela announced a couple of moments later, pulling Annalise out of her deep thoughts. The latter just let out a small sigh before she buried herself under the covers once again.
"What are you doing?" Leela asked as she stared at Annalise in confusion.
"We would be departing at dawn and it's already past midnight. We should sleep now so that we can survive the long journey ahead." Annalise answered without bothering to look at the girl who started smiling as she hurriedly climbed onto the bed and took her place beside Annalise.
"I knew it! You won't abandon me." The girl sounded too happy as she wrapped her arm around Annalise and gave her a tight but warm squeeze.
"Don't be too happy. I'm only coming with you because I want to find answers too." Annalise stated as she tried to push Leela away but the girl only tightened her hold as she whispered - "If you say so."
