Chapter 151: Why Are You Running?
EMMA
~
My chest felt like coming off due to how fast my heart was beating. Each beat was too hefty for me to bear... I have been here for God knows how long, staring at this unexplained thing before my eyes. What was this? A mark? I poke it and it stings making me groan, I felt like I was being kissed by the very iron that branded me. A brand? How?
I tried recalling if I was burnt by an iron which was a stupid thing for me to think because I have not gone near any hot iron at all, so how?
I gave off panic breaths. "Calm down Emma calm down" I chimed to myself but that seemed nearly impossible, who doesn’t freak out when you just suddenly see a brand on your breast? I whined, eyeing the plump red flesh, it was burning so bad and tears were almost leaking from my eyes. I needed to find a way to calm down but the pain couldn’t possibly let me. I groaned loudly as I held the sink for support, why was it suddenly hurting so bad? Almost like it was calling for something.
"Emma?"
I gasped turning to the door, I quickly covered myself properly as I rushed out of the bathroom and back to the wide room with several bunk beds I awoke in.
"Oh, there you are..." Carly said with a warm smile, she held a pack, my guess was food and mine too. I didn’t realize how hungry I was until now, and thirsty, very, very thirsty.
"Carly," I said, sitting back on the bed, clearing my throat before swiftly adjusting my glasses.
"Owen asked me to get you this, you need food after that toll your body took" she handed the pack to me while taking a seat.
"Where’s Owen?" I asked and she shrugged.
