I come round and I’m stiff all over. My head is pounding and the swirling in my stomach makes it hard to keep whatever’s in there down. I start by moving my fingers and toes. The concentration it takes is excruciating, but I keep my eyes closed while I do it.

I have no idea where I am, and for right now I want to make sure I’m not broken, before I start dealing with whatever fresh hell I’m in right now. Once I know that I can move my arms and legs, I turn my head and slowly open my eyes. I’m surrounded by darkness, which I’m instantly thankful for. I open my eyes further as I take in my surroundings. I can’t see much through the blanket of darkness that surrounds me, but I can see enough to know that wherever the hell I am, is not somewhere I recognise.

I’m lying on a bed, still in my prom dress. Jeez, prom that feels like forever ago already. I stretch my arms out and I can’t reach either side, the sheets are almost silky soft. Not exactly what I was expecting. I slowly push myself up to a sitting position, hissing at the pain that courses through my body at the movement. I’m going to fucking kill Ty when I see him next, but I can’t focus on that right now, all I can do is hope I’m somewhere safe, but I’m not going to hold my breath for that.

I lean over to the table that’s placed beside the bed, and turn on the lamp that sits there. It illuminates the room with a soft glow and I gasp at my surroundings. The walls are bare stone brick, with cast iron candle holders attached at various places across the walls, each holding a blood red candle. The room is pretty bare, other than the bed and the table. I can see three doors to the right hand side of the bed, and floor to ceiling black velvet curtains cover the entire wall to my left.

I swing my legs over the side of the bed, the pain is excruciating, but I can’t just helplessly lie here. My legs hang over the edge of the bed; I must be about four feet up in the air. Scooting further off the bed, I try and make the fall a little softer, and then fail miserably. There’s a loud thud as I land, pain shooting up my legs making me want to cry out. I bite my lip to stop the scream that threatens to break free and taste blood as it splits.

I grasp onto the bed and try to pull myself up, my limbs shaking from the exertion, before padding over the thick carpet to the door closest to me. I open it and find a bathroom, I flick the switch illuminating the room in a harsh white light, making my eyes water. Creeping into the room I see a giant mirror covering half a wall behind the sink.
