Chapter 8: Half Blood
Next morning.
Allynna woke up to the sound of her cell phone timer. However, when she opened her eyes, the bright light through the open window curtains dazzled her. She squinted her eyes to adjust her vision.
Another day, they arrived without anyone greeting her.
It felt so empty. For a moment, she lay motionless.
After some time, she tried to cheer herself up, saying, "Good morning to you, Allynna Frost! I just want to tell you it’s okay to be sad, but don’t always dwell in sadness. Life is too short to waste in sorrow. Wake up, get up, chase your happiness, chase your dreams. Your parents must be smiling up there whenever you do."
A small smile appeared on her lips as she hurried to the bathroom for her morning routine.
Not long after, she emerged from her room wearing her summer school uniform and carrying her well-worn black backpack, which she had used since her first year of high school.
She immediately headed downstairs, passed the kitchen, and walked straight to the door. Knowing no food to eat in the fridge, she decided to have breakfast in the school cafeteria.
This morning, she felt more cheerful than before. She was making an effort to move on from her sadness. Two weeks of grieving over the loss of her parents were enough.
Allynna believed her parents in heaven would hate to see her dwelling in sorrow for too long, right? Her only option now was to move forward. She forced herself to accept her new life, including her plan to move to the capital with Sir Leon. She was looking forward to it.
When Allynna opened her house door, her eyes widened looking there were four large containers arranged neatly blocking her way.
