RAYNA'S POVThe next time I opened my eyes, at least four faces were staring down at me.What the fuck had happened to me? I felt a hand on my arm and I was made to sit up."Phew." A boy with black hair dyed at the tip heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought she was dead."Dead???The nurse came up to me and gently touched my forehead, causing me to yelp in pain."What happened to me?" I asked, trying to sit up. My head felt like I was being hit repeatedly with a sledge hammer, even as I squinted to lessen the pain."You fainted,” said the boy with the frosted tips. He held up the ball as evidence, like I needed a visual aid. "Right after hitting Tio, it was pretty funny.”“Funny," I repeated. "I'm not sure that's the right word here..."The nurse pressed something cold to the side of my skull and I hissed. "You have a contusion from hitting your head on the pavement," she said.

RAYNA'S POV"Rayna!" The voice came again, louder this time. I spun round but it was just me and four walls and a ceiling that wouldn't stay still."Who's there?" I called out but there was no answer.

RAYNA'S POV“I... I didn't,” I stuttered, my voice cracking as I shook my head, taking a blind step backward away from the hand Mother had just raised.A gasp wheezed out of me as the stinging heat of the slap burned across my left cheek, a sharp, familiar agony that had defined my entire childhood.It didn't make me shrink down into myself like it always did before though. It just made the blood roar louder in my ears as I felt my muscles curl tighter.“Don't you dare lie to me!” Mother shrieked, her chest heaving beneath her expensive woolen coat as she pointed a manicured, trembling finger right at my nose.“You've been ungrateful and deceitful since the day you were born! You ruin everything you touch, and now you come here, dragging our family name into the mud, pretending to be your sister! Have you no shame?!
