Chapter 177

Bailey's POV

"Oh no. What have I done?"

As I saw the smoke, my heart began to beat out of control. I had left the pan with my spaghetti on the cooker and ran out without turning off the heat. I limped foreward as fast as I could and councilor Zeph followed after me. The smoke was thick and I could barely get to the kitchen door. Where were all the guards? I coughed as I made my way into he kitchen. The smoke stung my eyes and got deep into my lung. I fell to the ground and was coughing terribly, gasping for air. I only had to get to the cooker and turn it off and open a window.

I began to crawl on the floor towards the cooker. My eyes were watery and I could barely see where I was going. Everything around me was hazy and I could feel the oxygen leaving my lungs. I tried to hold my breath so that I didn't inhale the smoke but nothing was working. I continued to crawl towards the cooker. I managed to get there and I propped myself up but my hand touched the hot cooker and was burnt.
