Strangely enough, the first thing Irene heard was her heartbeat before she realized she was awake and didn't realize where she was.
The bed was different than the one in her barrack. Even the way the sun beat down on her face was different than her room.
There was a medicinal smell she couldn't quite place.
Her hands were lying at her sides and her fingers began to move before her eyes could even open. The bedding was soft. Her hands moved inwards over her body and she felt clothing she wasn't familiar with.
So soft.
However, her confusion was cleared away like the sun burning away clouds in the morning and she was suddenly very alarmed.
The forest. The winterization.
They were under attack.
Who had dressed her if she was in a bed in clothes she didn't recognize? Who discovered her secrets?
