Monster

Chapter 52- Monster 

Selene ~~

Everything was blurry at first.

Like I was stuck between sleep and waking.

My body felt heavy. My chest was tight.

I tried to blink, but even that was hard.

Slowly… very slowly… I strained my eyes to open.

Light hit me, soft and warm.

Then I saw it—a ceiling.

A familiar ceiling.

My heart skipped.

I knew this place.

I was in a room… and lying on a bed… fully covered.

My fingers twitched under the blanket as memories rushed back all at once—

The crying.

The pain.

The mirror.

The blood.

I gasped and sat up quickly, touching my face, my eyes, my cheeks, over and over again.

Were my eyes still red? Were they still bleeding?

I didn't even notice that I wasn't alone in the room.

All I cared about was my eyes.

My eyes were bleeding.

I could still remember the panic, the horror.
