Miles away, a young man woke up suddenly. Beads of sweat gathered on his forehead and his bare chest from the heat of the morning sun, and his heart was racing as if he’d been running. Centering himself, he realized that it wasn’t his anxiety that had woken him up, but it was more urgent than it had been in a while. What’s the matter? Are you alright? I need you.

She was grateful for their love and care, and she knew she was different from them, but they had made her feel welcome, despite the obvious.

It made her feel like that was a superficial thing they had in common when everything else was far from similar. Ceanna’s golden-brown skin and ethnicity were the first obvious deviations from Daley genetics. She had curly hair and almost yellow eyes, while they had straight black hair and normal colored eyes. Their bloodline was rich with love and academic achievement, hers was… The turmoil she felt whenever she thought of her heritage made her sigh out loud and turn away from the mirror. She wanted to believe what Queen Hamadi had said at school the other day, but she did feel alone, especially when comparing herself to the other kids at Alcombey High. Ceanna was as differe
