CHAPTER 47

  Elizabeth's Point Of View

  "What?" Sebastian unwraps my arms from around his neck and I step down on one leg.?

  I sway on my feet- or foot, holding onto him for support. "I don't feel so good."

  "Hazel, what do you mean it struck you?" Sebastian asks.?

  I open my mouth but only a big yawn comes out. Before I could speak again, three similar needles strike Sebastian in the neck and arm.

  "Just like that," I mumbled.?

  And I pass out.

  Muffled voices reach my ears, not making sense. My eyes feel like they're weighted down by tons of sand. With herculean effort, I pry my eyes open. My blurry view clears the outline of the roof above my head and it comes into focus.

  Wait, roof?

  Though my limbs feel sluggish, I turn? my head to take in my surroundings. A bare room with no window. I try to move my hands but feel them tied at my back.?

  Goddess, not this again.

  It takes me a moment to realize the worst part of this situation. Where's Sebastian?!
