KAT
Darkness closes in around me, and just as I am afraid that I will pass out again, the door to my bedroom opens. A man with fiery red hair and bright green eyes stands in the doorway with a huge smile on his face.
"I didn't believe them when they told me…" his voice trails off. "You look so much like your mother."
I stare at the man in disbelief. "You know my mother?" I say as I look from the man's hair and into his green eyes.
"You could say that," he says with a grin on his face. He looks at my hands that are bound together with a frown on his face. "If I release your hands, do you promise not to run?"
