My head was absolutely killing me. It throbbed with a pain so great it felt as if I had been bashed in the head with a baseball bat. Either that or this was the worst hangover known to man.

Since I wasn’t a regular drinker, I only knew this because I’d seen it firsthand by watching that cow Vivian and her many men the day after they partied half the night.

Fucking Vivian again. There she went, trying to invade my thoughts when I never wanted anything to do with her ever again. I didn’t even want to think about her anymore. It made me feel guilty, as if I were betraying Rain just by thinking her name.

No, not Rain.

My mother.

Fuck, I was a horrible person because I didn’t want to think about her either. I didn’t ever want to think about her.

My eyes snapped open, my vision blurry and nothing like what I was used to seeing when I first opened my eyes in the morning.

I wasn’t in my room, and there was no dreamcatcher hanging above my head. I wasn’t in the Alexander big house at all.

I wasn’t in any house.

The rich dirt of the earth surrounded me.

How had I gotten here? Wherever here was…

Finn had no reason to be anywhere near the house. We’d been on lockdown for a while now, and it’d felt like forever since I’d left the house. So what the hell had happened to me?

Why couldn’t I remember?

Just what the fuck was wrong with me? Did I have a head injury?

I refused to allow panic to set in. Panic would help nothing, certainly not me. When I panicked, my magic went a little crazy and I lost control of it, almost as if it had a mind of its own.

The bare mattress I lay on was covered in dark stains and didn’t smell very inviting. It was actually rather repugnant and made my nose twitch in disgust. There were holes in the fabric, and the blue color had long since worn and faded to a blue so light it appeared to be streaked white in places. I’d bet it was the sun that had bleached out the color.

The mattress was in the center of a very deep, very wide hole in the ground—a hole that was the size of a very large swimming pool.

There wasn’t anything else in the hole except for me, the mattress, and chains that
