Chapter 48: Alien Ghosts

Axton

Pain seared through my body as my healing power stitched me back together again. This hadn't even been the worst beating I'd gotten from them, but knowing Jody was alone and vulnerable took its toll on me more than I would've thought.

How long had I been in the healing sleep? I forced my eyes open and looked around the empty cell.

"Jody?" My voice was cracked and dry.

No answer.

Dovrikx! Had the bastards taken her? A sinking sensation hit my gut.

I lifted onto my elbows, pain blooming along my temples. She was gone. In the corner was a pile of bloody napkins and her prison shirt, which was also stained with blood.

Rage plowed through my veins and I forced myself to sit up. I was going to tear this place apart if they didn't bring Jody back right now. I didn't care if I brought the prison down on the lot of them.
