Chapter Thirteen

Adrian

I had no idea how long I had been in the hole. It became my personal abyss, a never-ending nightmare of solitude that gnawed at my soul. Seconds felt like entire hours, while hours felt like days. Although I’m sure that it couldn’t have been more than a day. My body started to feel hunger, human hunger for food, but it was still under control. My hunger for blood had surprisingly diminished, and I thanked heavens for that.

I would doze off, thankful for the rest, but then I would wake up even more exhausted and stiff than I was before. My spirit was weighed down by the crushing sound of noiseless isolation. The silence was deafening. My own thoughts started to torment me instead of being my way out of this hell. I would scream, just to hear a sound, but my own voice reverberated against the cold, unforgiving walls that seemed to close in on me in this pitch darkness. I felt like this hole was clawing at my sanity, eroding it bit by bit. I did my best to stay alert, to stay awake, to remember that I had someone to go back to.

I doubt anyone who had been put in this hole for any amount of time still had it in him to fight them. I hesitated for a moment, my eyes adjusting to the light, before taking his hand and clutching at it. With his help, I emerged from this pit of despair, my body frail and my spirit battered, but a spark of hope was still inside of me. Constantine didn’t manage to break me completely. I was on the brink, but the guards came just in time. I had no idea if Constantine planned it in such a way, but I was grateful for the timing, nonetheless.

We retraced our steps through the dimly lit corridor, our footsteps echoing in the silence. The guards’ grip on my arms was firm, a constant reminder that I shouldn’t try to escape again, because I would be surely thrown back into the hole. My mind raced with doubts and fears, but I tried to keep them under control. I reminded myself that
