Cinder

Nothing makes any sense.

A gorgeous guy who I somehow know is named Aleks but that I know nothing else about is gaping at me like I’m an alien. I have no idea where I am and no memory of getting here. And speaking of aliens, the last thing I remember is one abducting me from my bedroom in my apartment, which is clearly some dream/hallucination, and now I’m here. “Here” being a strangely beautiful hospital suite, judging by the flowers, bed in the middle of the room, and a bank of medical monitoring equipment at my bedside.

This Aleks person is giving me the strangest looks—and not answering my questions.

“Okay, I’m just going to…” I fight with the covers to get my legs out. They feel weak, but I don’t let that slow me down. “I’ll see my way out—”

“Wait!” Aleks throws his hands up to block me. “Cinder, you can’t just—”

He cuts off at my fierce look. This guy better not try to stop me. I’m halfway out of the bed. The stone floor is cool on my bare feet. I’m wearing a nightgown. Shit. I scowl at him. “You can’t keep me here.” But a sudden wave of weakness runs through my body. What’s wrong with me?

“It’s not like that.” His hands are still up, but his eyes are pleading with me. And he’s got beautiful eyes. Light gray with dark rims. Thick lashes. Dark brows that are just a bit wild. Messy. He has the kind of eyes I would love to capture on film… in a barely lit room with just a beam of illumination across his face. The rest of him is beautiful, too, but those eyes… fuck. Why am I thinking about shoots?

I swallow and edge back on the bed, gripping the mattress. The sheets are luxury-soft while the bed is ultra-firm. I give the place another look. Hospital. High-end. Beautiful man making sure I don’t get out of bed. Because… why?

“Oh, God, I’ve done something.” It’s a whisper, but it shrinks me further onto the bed.

“What? No.” He frowns and lowers his hands. “I just don’t want you to get up too quickly. You’ve… you’ve been out for a while.”

He’s hedging. Fear trickles through me. Did I go through with it? Did I try and just… forget? Block it out? I swallow down the creeping horror of that and turn over my hands, checking my wrists. No bandages. No scars from slashes across them. I put a hand to my neck, but I don’t feel anything there, either.

I look up at this guy, Aleks. He’s super concerned. He’s wearing something that looks like scrubs. He’s a doctor or nurse or something. “Was it drugs, then?” I ask, weakly. I’m feeling light-headed all of a sudden. I blink to ward off the fuzzy-headedness.

“What do you mean?” His voice is so soft. Gentle. The way you talk to someone you’re afraid is on the edge of a breakdown. Or fragile and frightened like an injured wild animal.
