Chapter .44.

I'm the darkest sunlight

~Jessica Katoff

***

I wake up to darkness.

Darkness and pain.

I'm frozen on the ground, unable to move. My eyes are wide as flashbacks resurface and burn into my mind.

Run Luna.

I quickly stand, disoriented because I cannot see. I stumble back a few steps and fall onto a hard surface.

A cot.

Feeling the outline, I can make out what the item is.

I softly touch my face.

I wince when my hand reaches my nose.

Broken. The impact from the air bag had caused it.

My whole body hurt from the collision.

But I don't dare make a sound.

But father.

Father.

Why had father done that?

I gag and quickly put my hand to my mouth, but the process only causes me to gag even more. It's no use. Without warning I'm throwing up- on the cot, ground, myself. I don't know.

And like I suspect, the sound has alerted my captor that I'm awake.
