Chapter 147: Far from home

  Trigger Warning! Graphic scene

  Imela's eyes snapped open in the room as her consciousness returned, and her head hurt immediately. Her eyes closed, and she wondered what had happened and why she had such a crushing headache. She couldn't remember anything leading to this moment, though; it was all blank, and the more she tried to remember, the more her head hurt.

  Her nose picked up a strange smell a few seconds later, and her eyes snapped open. This time, she ignored the ache that shot through her head. She glanced at the ceiling, which didn't look like the one in her house, telling her she was far from home and trying to gather her scattered memories.
