Chapter 2: The Awakening 2
"I said, what nonsense are you babbling? Who is General Odin? I don't have six brothers." Lara's voice rose in pitch nearly two octaves higher, which scared the teenager sitting beside her.
The sudden intensity of Lara's voice startled her. In an attempt to stifle her outburst, she clamped her hand over Lara's mouth, which displeased the young girl.
She looked around to ensure that none of the people at the front heard what her young miss said before speaking in a hushed tone.
"Miss, Reya will not speak nonsense to you. I have been with you since you were a baby. My mother was your wet nurse. You are hurt and have forgotten many things. When you get better, then you will remember everything."
Lara closed her eyes again. "Reya, is that your name?" She asked in a much calmer tone.
A beautiful smile blossomed on the tanned face of the teenager.
"Yes, Miss. Do you remember?"
Lara shook her head. "You mentioned it a while ago, and I assumed that's your name. How old are you and how old I am?"
"Miss, you will turn fourteen this December 24, a month from now, while I am eighteen and will turn nineteen in three months."
Lara frowned. Even the timeline was messed up. It was January when they set out to do the ambush. How could it become November?
She breathed deeply.
