And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 308

"Reborn?" I asked, pausing at the idea. "What do you mean?"

"You don't honestly think that when you die that's just it?" The laughter that escaped her I didn't find amusing. I wasn't asking for her to laugh at me. I didn't know how things worked. My parents only ever told me what I was supposed to know and nothing else.

"I don't see what's so amusing."

Taking a moment, she cleared her throat and sighed. "When you die, you're reborn, or at least most of you are. Melissa, like some of the others who are pure-hearted, are given this opportunity."

Hearing this made me feel slightly better, but it didn't stop the ache in my heart from the loss of my friend. "Oh. So am I going to be when I die?"

Freya hesitated a moment, before opening and closing her mouth again before simply smiling.

"That's a conversation for another day, but don't worry, it's nothing for you to bother with right now. All I want you to do is to get situated in your new room."

Before I could reply a soft voice called out from inside my room. "Knock knock!"

Stepping towards the open door, I peered through the sheer black curtains and frowned. A girl stood there about my age with bright electric blue hair that sat in two buns on the top of her head, her eyes a hypnotically glowing green.

"Who are you?" I asked before glancing back at Freya.

"This is your assistant for your entire time here. She will tell you anything you need to know and be here to help you get situated. I have a feeling you both will get along very well." Freya replied before quickly making her way towards the door.

Running after her, I grabbed her wrist before she could leave my room, and watched as she turned to me with the kindest eyes I had ever seen. "Cassie—"

"Tell me that I'm not making a mistake being here… Tell me you can fix me."
