And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 255

Ivy.

A swirling light wrapped around me. A feeling that made me feel as if I was floating. All of the pain I had once felt completely slipped away from me, and I was left unsure of where I was, but I knew I had a purpose, and that purpose was to get back to wherever I was supposed to be.

If only I knew exactly where that was.

Looking around through the white space around me, I searched for anything that could help me remember exactly what had happened. I knew I had to get back to somebody very important. The only problem was I didn't know how I was supposed to do that.

Glancing around, I freed myself from the weightlessness of my situation. My feet hit the floor of the white void with ease. There was no telling in which direction I was to go in order to get out of this place, but I knew I had to go somewhere.

A figure walked toward me from the distance. A woman with long brown hair seemed to fall down her back in waves. Her blue eyes stared at me with amusement before she stopped mere feet from where I stood.

There was no way she was from the same time as me considering that instead of normal clothing, she wore furs and linen, her appearance almost medieval, causing my confusion to fold in even more.

"Who are you?" I asked slowly, hoping she could understand me.

"I'm not stupid, if that's what you think," she chuckled as she crossed her arms over her chest. "My name is Anna."

Now I felt completely stupid. Of course, she wasn't… nevermind.

"Do you know where I am?"

"You don't know where you are?" she replied, cracking a smile. "That isn't good, is it?"

Rolling my eyes, I groaned. "Look, if you're here to piss me off, please don't. I have had a long day… or well. God, I don't even know. Regardless, I have to get out of here."

"I know you do. That's why I'm here."

Was she being serious? She was here to help me, and instead, she was doing nothing but confusing me. "Well, what are you waiting for, then?"

"For you to decide to be polite for one," she laughed. "Never did I think I would get this honor, but circumstances aren't always what we expect them to be now, are they?"

I didn't have the slightest clue what she was referring to, but with annoyance filling me, I pushed it aside, praying she would attempt to help me other than how she was currently acting. "Look, I'm sorry. We started off wrong."

"Fair enough, Ivy." She smirked as she walked past me, heading into the white void, as if she had a destination in mind.

"Wait! Where are you going?!" I called out as I ran along after her.
