Chapter 16 A Night Alone

• YRENE'S POV
• A swift, sharp jab to my leg woke me up, and when I opened my eyes, I felt I had gone blind. It took me a full minute to recall everything that had happened. I and Reece had been serving our punishment dutifully until he went to sleep when we got to the store room.
• I had been cleaning happily since he was asleep instead of awake only to feel fatigue. My eyelids became really heavy and I struggled to keep them open. I moved closer to Reece to tidy the space next to him, only to find everything blurry. My head was tipping backwards dangerously and I had decided to sit and do the job. Unfortunately, sitting had led to laying down and when I just decided to close my eyes for a minute to cool it, the next thing that happened was this: Me opening my eyes to darkness.
