Serena left the room quickly, she needed time to herself. She ignored Charlotte and Darius pointed stares and let herself out of the room. She exhaled quietly and tightened her scarf, what a long day it was going to be.
It did not take her long to get back to her room, she bolted her door and went straight to the window. She rested her chin on her palm and looked at the birds flying above. She had a lot of learning to do from those creatures.
"Oh goddess please guide me," she murmured.
She had to stand on her own feet in this situation. She wondered if Riven thought of Charlotte as bolder than she was. Of course, he would. He saw her stumble and take so long to find her voice. The blonde clasped her fingers and blinked slowly, that man had been under the impression that she was nothing more than a puppet.
Could she even blame him? On some days she did feel like that. Serena shook her head to rid it of the memories of Charlotte pushing her around.
