Alexis breathed awake, her chest rising and falling in heavy breathing. She glanced around her surroundings, blinking at the familiar room that belonged to Keelion.
Was all that just a dream? Going for a visit and finding her mother—
The door pushed open and none other than Keelion walked in. He paused when he saw her and Alexis saw this sort of look she had never seen on his face before. It was…remorse? Sympathy…?
Why…why was he looking at her like that?
"Alexis…"
Keelion locked the door behind him and began to approach the bed.
She gazed at him and slowly shook her head. "No, no, it was a dream, t-that's all it was!"
"Alexis, you need to calm—"
"No, no, no, don't tell me that!" she snapped, getting up from the bed and staggering her way to the door. "My mom, she's not dead. That's not possible. She would never leave me, she promised me that."
