Sun Rose (Rose of the Dawn Series book 1)
“It warms my face and I realize I didn’t put on any sunscreen before going to bed. A few minutes shouldn’t hurt. My eyes stay shut.
A knock at my outer door makes me groan. My neck is sore.
“Come in,” I call, but my voice is weak in my throat. My eyes squint open.
“Rose, you need to get– oh God, Rose!” Dory rushes to my bedside. Her quick movement makes me dizzy.
“What is it?” My mouth is dry like cotton and the room is a bit hazy. I open my eyes fully, but Dory’s face isn’t in focus.
“Rose,... you’re yellow! Something’s wrong!” Dory takes her hand away from my forehead.
She wipes the sweat on my sheets and I can’t tell if it’s her sweat or mine. I look down at my hands. They look swollen, like something from a medical reference e-book.
I become queasy.
“We have to get Mom.” I hear someone say. Was it me? Before I even know that she’s left, Dory comes back with a doctor. I can smell the ultra-clean disinfectant of the hospital.MoreLess
