Orion’s POV
Agonizing pain sears through my guts.
My whole body burns with a flame of torment. It feels like my lips are busted, my nose is broken, my ribs are damaged…
All of me!
Slowly, I open my eyes as I try to take in what's before me.
My eyelids stick together, the mix of tears and blood almost seals it shut for a lifetime.
“Argh.”
I groan, flipping to the side and waiting for the pain to subside, but to no avail. I've never passed through such torture before, not even when I was in the face of death for months in the hospital.
“I'd make you pay, Avery.”
Coughing out light red fluid like blood, I almost gag at the sight of it.
Remaining on my back, I inflate my lungs with air as I inhale deeply.
Damn it!
For what seems like ages, I crawl on my side, with my elbow prepped forward. Thankfully, I returned the car, so I didn't have to pay extra for a delayed return.
