It seemed everyone was a night-owl and an alarm clock was forbidden to beep until well after sunrise. Unfortunately for me, I was starving. My ribs protruded and my collarbone was so sharp I thought it would poke through my skin at any moment. My peacock-phoenix necklace was a thread of fire against my aggravated neck. If a gram of gold could hurt, I doubted I could handle much else.I desperately needed food. With each teleport, calories were depleted. I lost four kilos last night from teleporting four girls. That was higher than usual. A kilo per girl—either I used a lot of power, or I was weakening. I was trapped unless I ate.I shuffled, light-headed and weak, to the bathroom. The night was a blur. All I knew was I narrowly escaped the clutches of Atsu Bazeer, and slept as if I were dead. After my third attempt to shower, washing Bazeer's dirty paws off me, I dressed in a flowing lemon sundress I found in the cupboard, and slipped on some jeweled flip-flops. I allowed my hair to air dry and held my breath as I tried my door.
