LAURA My alarm rang out just in time to save me from the nightmare I was having. I ran my hand through my hair and was surprised to see the bandage by the side of my head. That was when the memory of the previous day started coming back. After I returned home last night, Lincoln gave me a long lecture on how disastrous things would have been yesterday without the timely intervention of my shadow guards. He told me to be prepared for some changes and that in the meantime, I shouldn't do anything that would put my life in danger. After a quick shower, I quickly changed my bandage and after a quick touch of my face, I left my room. The mansion was surprisingly quiet by this time of the day. The workers usually woke up even earlier than I did and so the villa wasn't meant to be this silent
