Chapter 17 What The Hell!

• Morning came earlier than Serena had hoped. She grunted sleepily as sun rays filtered into the room through the parted, thick, grey velvet curtains and fell on her face. She turned away, snuggling closer to her pillow.
• Serena almost drifted off to sleep when a knock came on her door. She cursed under her breath as she forced her limp body to sit up. "Who is it?"
• The door fell open, and a young woman, who seemed to be around Serena's age, with pale skin and a glaring shade of red lipstick on her thin lips, entered the room. She was dressed in a black dress, with a white apron draped around her waist and her black hair packed in a tight bun. The woman had a red dress on her arm.
