Raven’s Pov
I couldn't scream loud enough.
The pain tore through me like a burning knife, and all I could do was clutch my stomach and breathe like I was drowning. Sweat soaked my skin, my shirt clinging like a second, suffocating layer, and then the door flung open.
“Raven!” Elsie burst in, her eyes wide, frantic. “Oh my god, it’s happening again…what are we going to do? The woman tried to warn us. What are we going to do?!”
Her panic made everything worse.
“Calm the f**k down, Elsie!” I snapped, teeth gritted from the pain. “Just calm down—I’m okay. I just need a cold shower. That’s all.”
“But you just took one before bed! And you had your vitamins!” she argued, almost in tears.
“If I take another one, I’ll feel better,” I said, breathless. “Just… help me up.”
She didn’t hesitate
