Hey again! 2 Chapters in one day! These two are a little shorter and from different POV's. Sometimes you just need a break from the protagonist, you know what I mean lol? Anyway, enjoy!
Chapter 8- Nousha Oadeera
I sit in the windowless room that has been assigned to me. I stare at myself in the mirror across from my bed. The sight is new to me. My hair has been pulled back from my face and I'm wearing the new jumpsuit that Travis and Master Cinum have gotten for me. Also, I can feel something else.
Happiness.
I knew that it was wrong and that I had to be careful, but Travis was so lighthearted. Even just one day with him and I wanted to tell him about everything that happened. The treachery, the deceit, the accident.
I force myself to look away. I can't tell anyone of what happened on that planet. I sit with my legs over the side of the bed and drop my face into my hands. I can't shake Travis out of my thoughts. I don't know why. He was just so kind, and encouraging, and bright, not to mention handsome.
I go into my small bathroom and put on my tattered nightdress, I feel better in it anyways, and lay down on the bed. My world seems to be crumbling around me and I can't seem to stop it. I think of the pieces of my life slipping through my fingers. Might as well grab onto what I can while I still have it.
Thanks for reading! Please R&R! Thanks for your support and encouragement!
