At night

ISABELLE’S POV

I wake up from sleep because of thirst. I am thirsty, so much thirsty. I try to open my eyes but I am unable to. What is happening with me? My eyes feel so heavy. With difficulty, I open my eyes. My vision is hazy but I blink my eyes to clear my vision. My mind is unable to register anything.

Burning, I feel like I am burning. My hands and face feel like they are on fire. No, not just hands or face, my whole body is on fire. I am feeling so hot. Am I being burned? With my blurry vision, I look around me and relax a little because I am in my room. I try to move my legs but I cannot. I don’t have the energy to. Why am I feeling like this?

My throat feels like it is being stabbed with needles. Water, I want water. Tears are at the back of my eyes and soon they will fall. I look around me in search of water. My head is spinning and my whole body feels too hot. I finally locate the water beside me on the table. I have to get up and drink this. I will sleep after
