Chapter Thirteen

Skylar awoke with a jerk, the world around her solidifying quickly.

“You dozed off.”

She sat, recognizing the shrink’s office on the compound. Vaguely she recalled bringing in Chace then having her wrists checked before coming here.

Pretty sure you knocked me out, she responded silently. The site where he’d inject her felt swollen like a knot had formed. She glanced at it noticed faint bruising.

“You feel okay?” the shrink asked.

Skylar glanced at him, uncertain why his intent gaze bothered her.

“Hungry,” she replied. “How long was I out?”

“Two hours.”

“Ugh. Starving then.”

He smiled. “Go on to the cafeteria. They should be serving lunch.”

She nodded and climbed off the table.

“See you next year.”

Skylar didn’t respond but left his office, her stomach feeling like it was ready to start eating itself. She touched the tender spot on her arm and flinched. Not only did the light touch hurt, but there was a large bump beneath the surface. She’d never left an annual check-up with a lump like this. It had done as he said and helped her relax.

I can address those during the session.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have slept through it.” The memories were more insistent instead of gone. Was she relieved that she hadn’t lost her mother again or upset that she wasn’t able to return to her normal life?

Shaking her head, she went to the cafeteria to grab a sandwich and sat down with her tray at a table, staring at the food on her plate.
