Ch.4 Escaping The Ball Together part 2
“Sunny, it's time to get up,” said Sunny’s mom, as she entered Sunny’s room. Concerned for Sunny, she walks towards Sunny’s bed. Softly shaking Sunny. Sunny softly moaned, “Mom, I don't feel ..el so well.”
“Okay, don't speak too much. Just rest.” Her mom softly said. Sunny’s mom looks at her daughter, as relief washes over her. Ruffling her daughter’s hair, softly. Checking her temperature with her hand. “Honey, you’re burning up. Let me call up the doctor..”
“Mom, I just need to rest. I’ll be fine after a little sleep.” Sunny said. “But, honey we need you to be well. We can't have potential suitors being scared away. Or what’s the point of me birthing you.” Her mother scornfully said. Trying to hide her hurt and annoyance.
Sunny slightly turned her head, avoiding the look on her mother’s face. “Sunny, I hope you’re listening. I know you don't want to wed. But, a lady should marry and provide heirs.
”Sunny just silently listened to her mother's words, wishing she could just disappear. She felt like her life had no meaning other than, to satisfy others and bitterly accept her fate.
But, she couldn’t just be a normal lady and have some nobleman’s kid. Why was my life to please others? Whatever, I'm just going to live and love as I choose. No matter the consequence. But would they be worth it?
“Sunny, are you listening? I guess she’s asleep. Oh, well her father's going to be mad if she keeps avoiding her fate.” sighs her mother, as she exits Sunny’s room. Once Sunny sees her mother’s gone. She sits up in her bed, pulling her pillow up and taking out a red leaf.
And eating the rest of it. Feeling she was hot enough, to fool the doctor and able to avoid that ball. To have a date with her Minny. Just as she lays back down in her bed, her door swung open. The doctor rushes in with her mom. Thank goodness, I ate that leaf. Or my lie would've been seen through.

“She’s in here doc She’s been in her bed all day and hasn’t eaten. With a fever.” Her mother explained to the doctor. Looking at the daughter and back to the doctor.
“I see” the doctor responds. Walking toward Sunny, to check her temperature. Putting his hand to her forehead. But, later moving it away from her head, to check her pulse. Seeing her pulse isn’t too bad. He sighs in relief, turning to her mother.” Miss, your daughter has a high fever. Just as you said but, it seems to be a tad worse than said.” “ Is she going to be okay? We have a ball to attend to....” her mother rambles on.
As the doctor shakes his head and looks at Sunny. Curled up in a ball, in pain as her mother talks on. Not paying a glance at her daughter. He quietly sighs and turns to her mother, to interrupt her. speechless.
“Madam there’s no way the young miss can go to the ball, in her state. Her body’s too warm and her pulse is barely good too. Going to the ball would only worsen it.” Her mother looks at the doctor, trying to hide her disappointment but both Sunny and the doctor see it.
Before she puts on a bright smile, turning to the doctor. “ I understand, sir. Is there anything I can do to get her feeling better?”
“Miss should be fine with some rest and medicine I give her. She’ll be fine by tomorrow.”
The doctor gives me a pill and water. As it enters my mouth, it tastes like candy peaches. I look at the doctor and she smiles at me. ‘Does he know I faked my sickness? But how is such a good actor? Oh well, he hasn’t said anything so I’ll just continue my act.

“Mother, I feel a bit better, I'm going to take a nap.” Sunny softly says to her mother. Stealing glances at the doctor who seems to be containing his laughter. Who stops internally laughing and puts on a straight face. “Okay, honey you just rest and try to get better soon. “ Sunny nods.
“Sir, thank you for checking on my daughter. I was so worried.``her mother said in gratitude. “ It's nothing madam, it's my job and I love helping people. “ he said, glancing at the sunny. "I hope you get well soon, miss.”
“Thank you, sir.” She softly spoke. “ I shall take my leave now.” the doctor said to them both. “I’ll see you out. Sir.” her mother said, walking behind the doctor. Leaving Sunny in her room.

Dreamer/Leveler
Zachary Trenner is a freshman at Burlington High School. Despite his mundane appearance and advanced course curriculum, something strange is happening to him. Every time he goes to sleep he switches worlds. Portals are popping up everywhere, allowing access between Earth and the world of Vera. Now he must spend every waking and sleeping moment getting stronger to fight off the [Instance Dungeons] opening on both Vera, and Earth. Prepare for an RPG fiction full of magic, action, a touch of romance, and the author's own dry humor. When the modern technology of Earth meets the medieval magic of Vera, which culture will invade the other world first? When the army rangers of the United States collide with the members of the Hunter's Guild, who will win? Updates on Wednesdays/Thursdays Cover is my own creation. Tips to reading: This is my first book, so cliches and tropes are used as the base and then expanded upon. My intention is to make it a casual read but deep if you decide to look closer. I'm not a people person, so my focus and purpose for writing this is to explore the world building and magic system, not necessarily the characters. There won't be a villian until the postgame ;) Author's philosophy: I took an professional personality inventory (through a community college back in 2018) and was categorized as a "double-checker." I'm never satisfied with the work that I complete, and never want to share it with anyone. But this book is a challenge to myself! As a rule of thumb, I will only add to the story. I can't remove elements I've already included (unless absolutely, absolutely necessary). PS, I'm a native English speaker.
