Chapter 8: A Knock from the Past
All of a sudden, a turbulent shaking was felt.
An earthquake?
Hazily, eyelids fluttered open. As sunlight blinded her view, they closed again, as quickly as they had opened.
’Hmm… away… grmm…’ A muffled sound emerged from the bedcovers, as a lump turned away from the shafts of light.
Still, the turbulent shaking progressed. If anything, it got more intense.
‘Sapphy, dear… rise and shine! We have lots to do together today! Girls’ Day Out!’ Alexandria ended dramatically, flourishing her hand as if it was bound to wake anyone from their slumber.
Seeing that not even shopping was going to wake Sapphire up, Alexandria used her incentive. Incentive and wit were things that were not often used, except in dire circumstances. And this was one of those. Sapphire must be dreadfully ill, not to wake up to the idea of a Girls’ Day Out.
She ripped off the blanket and in a flurry, a huddled figure was seen trying - and failing - to hug onto the warmth.
‘Not now… please… so warm…’ came an incoherent mumble from the shivering shape.
‘Sapphy! Oh my!’ Alexandria shrieked into Sapphire’s ears, covering her mouth afterwards. She placed the back of her hand quickly on Sapphire’s forehead.
‘Oh, thank heavens… there I was thinking that you had a fever of some sort!’ she said, once realising that Sapphire was perfectly fine. Bustling into the adjoining bathroom, she turned on the cold tap so that some water poured into her cupped palms.
Sapphire’s eyes blinked open. She was having such a wonderful sleep before her mother shook her awake. Speaking, or rather thinking, of Alexandria…Where did she go? Sapphire thought to herself.
She thought too soon.
A drenching spray of freezing water slapped onto her face, forcing a rather ugly yelp to emerge from Sapphire’s lips.
