Chapter 48 Surviving

• Thelma’s POV:
• Drake stood up and raised his right index finger at us,  an ‘excuse me gesture.’ He opened the door, held it for about ten seconds, and then the Prefect walked in graciously into the room. 
• She had allowed her hair to grow taller at the back, almost crossing her neck this time but had maintained the short hair she had always kept at the front. The prefectural long dress she wore covered all through to her feet in all shades of red— including but not limited to her feet.
