Chapter 76

Zenovia

I was in dreamland, covered in sheets and wrapped in it like a cocoon, when I heard a noise from the windows.

My body felt stiff and sore as I groaned in my sleep and mentally hoped whoever it was to leave me alone.

“Shoo,” I muttered in my sleep, but the noise was persistent.

It was an odd noise, like somebody was scraping their nails on the windowpanes. My eyelids felt heavy, and I groggily opened them while trying to look around.

I didn’t know Elijah was a prankster, but he was goofy, so he might have found a way to annoy me.

When nobody answered, I pulled the pillows above my head and tried shutting my eyes again.

There was a noise again, coming from the window. The odd scraping noise had returned.

I felt so annoyed that I threw the pillows and finally opened my eyes to throw my fists at someone.

But there was nothing. My room was empty.

I looked around stupidly and muttered, “Elijah, this is a very cruel way to wake someone up from sleep.”

I waited for a minute or two, but Elijah did not reply. Frowning, I gathered the sheets and was about to pull them up over myself again when I saw the window.

It was open, and the curtains were flying through the light breeze.

‘But I had closed the windows before sleeping,’ I thought and kept staring at the window stupidly.

Letting out a sigh, I got up from the bed and went to close the window.

‘Maybe I did not close it tight enough, I thought and shrugged.

But when I reached the window and tried to close it, my gaze fell on the dense trees outside the mansion’s huge gated compound.
