AMBER POV
Warning s****l esplicit content, 18+
Autumn was quiet—too quiet. For the first time since she cane to me, her constant presence in my mind felt like a dim ember instead of the roaring flame I was used to. I could sense her curled up somewhere in the corners of my consciousness, taking a nap like she was utterly exhausted. Maybe all of this—the prophecy, the elders, the Triplets being so intense—had been a lot for her, too.
It wasn’t like her to stay silent, and it left me feeling unbalanced, like I was standing on one leg and waiting to tip over.
I shook my head as I climbed the stairs, heading toward the bedroom I shared with the Triplets whenever I stayed here. The air was warm, carrying the faintest trace of the pizza we’d devoured earlier, but the house felt... different.
