Chapter 40: Snitches Get Stitches

‘A royalty!’ A voice laughed inside of my head. It was clearer compared to the other voices streaming in the background.

I jolted up immediately as the eeriness of its voice sent shivers all throughout my body. “Oh Gosh!” I yelled, scaring my familiar that was resting it’s chin on my bare stomach. I then looked all around me. I was back in my hut.

‘Master!’ My familiar whimpered excitedly and started licking my face while wagging it’s tail at me furiously. He was getting crazy smothering me that Ren had to pull my familiar back just so I can breathe.

“You’re alive!” Ren whispered and suddenly engulfed me into an embrace. As soon as we parted, I took note that his eyes and nose were a bit red. Was he crying? “I..I thought you…”

This time, it was Nate who had to pull Ren back to give me some space. Upon doing so, Ren and Nate almost fought while PRINCE Ace kneeled beside me and placed the back of his hand on my forehead to check my temperature.
