CARLA
As my eyelids parted, I felt like my head wanted to split. I shook my head as I opened my eyes, eager to recall the events that led me to lie on this bed now.
I was shocked to see Mint rush to me the second I sat up, resting my back on the bed frame.
"Carla!" He said out loud, as he knelt beside me and gripped my hands.
He pressed his head to my hands and began to weep bitterly.
Looking around the room, I could see Jen stand by the door, her gaze stuck on the the ground.
It was slowly coming back to me again.
The council... The meeting... The maid... Her confession...
My eyes widened as I pulled my hands away from Mint's grip with force.
My actions caused Mint's heart to break, I saw it in his eyes. But even I was in pain, much more pain than he could have imagined.
