Chapter 447: One Room
EMMA
~
My body feels numb and my breathing is short and uneven, my eyes are half closed, and yet I can’t open them fully. My lips are shut so tightly that I can’t speak or utter even a single sound. I feel motionless and yet I can feel the bed against my back. How long have I been like this? When did I even wake up? Have we reached Costa Rica yet?
I really need to move and get up but I can’t, I am not during one of my episodes am I? It mostly happens and I don’t remember, and it’s mostly during dreams. It has never happened when I am fully awake or has it?
Emmaline.
Emmaline.
Emmaline, listen to my voice.
Emma!
I remember now... when I tried to escape but Dace caught me. I thought he would kill me right there but he didn’t and I thought that was the end of it. But I think something else happened. Someone approached us and Dace spoke to them. Not just someone but Owen and I think that was when I first met Owen and not at Dace’s office, It’s all coming back to me now.
The warmth of his arms around me.
Eyes watching me in the dark room.
