Barely Breathing

Chapter 10: Since when did I smell like Xyrus

I woke up as a loud sound of thunder blared to an earshot. By the sound of it, a storm must be outside. Sighing, I hold the blanket tuck securely right under my chin and buried myself more in it, enjoying its warmth. My body feels sore and I don't want to draw away from the comforts of my bed. It feels too good.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Wait. Did I just hear the thunder roared in my bed? Another rumbling noise came out and I groan-buried my face on my pillow as realization finally settling in me. Yeah, guess there's no thunder outside, rather, inside of me. I'm just hungry.

Better to ignore it; too late I'm overly engrossed by sleep. Besides, I'm not a morning person and I'd like to keep it that way.

Wait. What's with that smell?

Hhhmmmm...

It smells like fresh raindrops on the forest's leaves, and soothing cold air after the rain, calming my senses and drowning me deep in it.

Since when did I smell like Xy...

Oh no.
