65 A sad past

( Sophia's POV )

A full two weeks after the incident, Sophia finally regained consciousness in the university infirmary.

For a moment, she could not believe that she was still alive, as in her last moments before blacking out, she could remember the words 'Save Me' coming out of her mouth as she desperately looked to Rocky for help.

That expression, that feeling, it wasn't fake….. at that moment as a dagger was mercilessly plunged into her chest, she indeed felt the desperate need for Rocky to save her.

Not from death, not from the pain, but from her own family, as she came to terms with how toxic it was.

Ever since she was a child who could understand words, she realized that her and Perseus's father did not view them both as equal siblings.
