Chapter 138. Drink It!
Mauve felt cold to her bones. She didn’t know where she was but all she could feel was cold as if she had been left in a tub of water on a freezing weather. She couldn’t open her eyes, her body felt heavy and she couldn’t hear anything.
However, there was a pain in her arm. She did not know how she knew it was her arm but she could tell. It was the only thing that burned as the rest of her felt like ice.
Suddenly, she started to warm up little by little. It started with her fingers and then it moved to her torso and then her feet. It felt cozy and she wanted to lie in the warmth for as long as she could. It made her feel safe and the cold was quickly forgotten.
However, the warmth gradually grew warmer and it soon turned hot. Suddenly, a burning sensation traveled from her arm to the rest of her body. Mauve would have sworn someone lit her up and set her body ablaze.
Mauve heard a loud sound echo back at her and she felt her body thrash around. It felt far removed from her. The only thing that felt real was the pain, it was intense and unlike anything she had felt before.
"Hold her down," a voice yelled. "Be careful! We cannot afford any broken bones. More alcohol! The cuts are pretty deep, the risk of an infection is high."
The burning sensation suddenly worsened and Mauve felt her body go limp. Her mind went blank. She couldn’t hear anything or see anything and she couldn’t feel either. Just numb.
She didn’t know how long she was on that state when she felt something tiny pierce her body. She groaned in pain but quickly went under. It was unbearable to be awake, the pain was still all she could feel and somehow it felt worse than before.
She woke up again but immediately went under. During the few seconds she was awake, she could neither open her eyes nor move her body. All she could feel was pain.
