Amala POV
“Still nothing?” I ask Sceda. We’re sitting outside looking at Belle playing with a ball
“Not yet” she says not looking at me. I sigh and roll the ball for Belle again. The puppy pounces on the ball, which is almost as big as her, fighting it.
“Oh you silly little thing” I coo fluffing her ears as she yaps happily
“We should go inside, it’s late” Sceda says but I shake my head
“You go ahead, I’ll be right in” I say standing
“But princess it’s not safe” she says but I wave her away
“I’m perfectly safe Sceda, go ahead” I say and she leaves with Belle in her arms. I look up into the moonless sky. The stars sparkling like tiny diamonds against the ink black sky. It’s so amazingly beautiful and peaceful but I can’t seem to shake this feeling of anxiety. It’s been two days since
