"Why are you doing this to me?" A young lady gazed up at the two figures towering over her. She wiggled her hands behind her, but they were tightly bound by a chain and onto the foot of the bed. Her head throbbed painfully as blood dripped from the side of her temple.
Until now, everything was hazy to her. But she knew deep in her heart this wasn’t good.
"She’s awake... she’s alive..."
The young lady slowly gazed up at the other lady talking. Shadows covered their faces as they were looking down at her. However, by the sound of the young lady’s voice, she was just as scared as her.
The other young man standing beside the other lady didn’t speak a word. But the one who was bound by the chains could feel his intent gaze.
"What should we do... Marcus?"
When the other young lady turned, Shanaiah’s face came to light. Her eyes were shaky and her complexion was pale. Sweats covered her face and entire trembling body.
"I don’t know," Marcus breathed out. "She was out cold just now."
The young lady, Alicia, winced as another painful throb struck her head. Their hushed voices were making her head hurt. But with every throb of her head, snippets of the events before this surged to her like a glitch.
