Fire Within

Sienna's POV

When I woke up, I gasped and tried to sit up, but my head hurt. The last thing I remembered was masked guys bursting into my room, one of them grabbing me before I could scream. Every part of my body hurt.

"Stay down," said a soft voice. Darius stood by the door, his face unreadable. "Kieran will be back soon."

"What happened?" My throat was dry, so I croaked. "The men in masks—" "Gone. "Kieran chased them away, but not before they..." His eyes darted to my arm.

I stopped moving when I met his eyes. There was a thin red line around my wrist that looked like a band. The skin around it was red and angry.

"What did they do to me?" I whispered, fear rising in my chest.

Darius shook his head. "I don't know. Kieran told everyone to search the grounds."
