Mi Sobrina Dormida Novels & Stories

SIENNA When I finally woke up again, the pain in my head was worse than before. I was still tied to the chair, and my face throbbed from all the hits I had taken from Rafael. My breathing was heavy, and everything felt like it was spinning. I slowly looked around, my eyes landing where Sabrina had been lying unconscious earlier. But this time, she wasn’t on the floor. She was sitting up now, her hands shaking as she tried to cut through the ropes around her arms with a small pocket knife. Her eyes darted around nervously, scared someone might walk in.

ARIA Honestly, I've never waked up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, but I guess there's a first time for everything. I tie my hair in a rough bun, I noticed Ocean was still asleep. I sigh and lie back on the bed, sighing, I look into the dark, honestly, I can't sleep anymore, the sleep won't come. I only lay there staring at the dark. "Ariana, mi poco bebé chica" I heard a voice from a far corner of the room. Ariana my little baby girl)

After waiting for some seconds and her mom didn't show up, Isabella began to cry. Where could her mom have gone? Where is everyone? Where is Ana? Where is her aunty Lisa. What happened to them? Why were they not here with her? Who is the strange man sleeping beside her? All these questions she continually wondered to herself... "Mommy..." She called out meekly for mother Zach who was still brooding with his eyes closed didn't know Isabella had woken up. His eyes flew open when he heard her soft cry for her mother. He immediately stood up and sat on the bed beside her

she adds. "Are the rumors about a monster in the woods true then?" She shakes her head. "We only made it up to keep them away." I nod lightly. My head hurts slightly and I feel sleepy after my little adventure. "I'd love to sleep now," I say to her. She kisses my forehead. "Have some rest pumpkin." I stand from the chair and walk to my room. I remove the sweater and boots and fall on my bed. I close my eyes and all I see is Gabriel's face.

Too real. “¿Qué pasa, niña? (What’s wrong, child?),” Marisol asked, guiding me to the couch. “I thought I saw…” I shook my head. “Nothing. Just tired.” She tucked a blanket around me, her voice low. “The body remembers pain, even when the soul tries to forget. “Duerme ahora. (Sleep now.)” As I drifted, the engine roared to life again—a violent, grieving sound. Tires spat gravel. Marisol muttered something in Spanish, sharp as a blade. *Maybe I imagined him too.* ******

She whined in frustration and sat up. She had to talk to him. Sabrina climbed down her bed and straightened her nightdress. Her dress had a low neckline that she didn’t bother to pull up. After combing her hair with her fingers, she stepped out of her camp. Her maids were sleeping peacefully in the outer camp. The bonfire had burned out and the warriors were also sleeping outside.

She did not want to think anything anymore as it was only making her head hurt. She sighed deeply before fluttering her eyes opened. And since she was still fully awake and knew it was impossible for her to sleep at the moment, she just decided to open the computer and watch any videos from the internet to pass time. Until hours later, Sabrina felt her eyelids getting heavy. However, still in fear about the call, she just stood from the swivel chair and laid down on the couch until she fell asleep. “Good morning..” Sabrina slowly opened her eyes. Her eyebrows deeply furrowed as she stirred from her deep sleep.

“You still haven't answered me!” Natalia took a deep breath, “Stop yelling, okay?” She gently uncaged herself and walked away, Sabrina followed behind, “Romero doesn't know I have his child. I mean he came to my hostel room to apologize after the conference and I …” She trailed off, a smirk played on her lips. Sabrina's eyes widened. “You drugged him.” Natalia didn't answer, her smirk grew which made Sabrina stare at this woman in front of her with disgust.

"Sabrina is awake! She's finally awake!" A surge of hope flooded Andrei's heart, dispelling the heavy cloud of uncertainty that had engulfed him. A wide smile broke across his face, mirroring the excitement radiating from Rosey. Without a moment's hesitation, he pushed himself away from the wall and hurried towards the open doorway. Each step echoed with newfound optimism, his heart skipping beats of anticipation. ‌ As he drew nearer, he was Sabrina slightly moving around in her bed. Her eyelids fluttered, a sign of awakening, and Andrei's heart swelled with both relief and anticipation. His Luna was coming back to him.

All had succumbed, some more suddenly than others, gone to sleep and had those cobweb blankets pulled over to tuck them in. ‘Jesus,’ said McBride as he steered through the community. ‘I’ve never seen anythin’ like it. Never want to agin.’ ‘Amen to that,’ Strauss whispered. He had the driver pull up near the corner shop and open the door. They were going out to fetch the first samples of what had been dubbed back there as the Sleeping Sickness, but what Strauss had long since come to think of as his nemesis. The thing keeping him from her. Yet wasn’t it also—he believed—the thing that would bring them together?
