~ NYSSA
I could barely sleep all night and as soon as the sun rose, my things were being loaded into the back of a car.
The journey to my pack seemed so long and so short at the same time. I sat in the front seat with Rowan, my legs curled underneath me as I stared out the side of the window.
He opted to drive and I knew it was to give me some semblance of privacy which I appreciated. I could not sleep the entire way, I just kept thinking of every possible case scenario and the more I thought, the more I realized that it was a lose-lose situation for me.
If they were my true parents, then I'd have to live with the reality that they were horrible people, and if they weren't, then I would live with the knowledge that my entire childhood was a lie and I had a real family out there… somewhere.
"Nyssa." A warm hand brushed hair away from my face and I turned to find Rowan staring at me with a concerned look. "We're here."
