Adeline was terrified. In her coma, she had heard violence and screams. She heard things being smashed, wood splitting, and porcelain shattering. She heard crying that shattered her eardrums.
Adeline felt like she was floating in darkness, with occasional caresses on her face and body. She had seen a tunnel of light in the distance but never approached it, for she was scared of the noises. But when silence finally met her, she felt the need to stop the light. And when she did so, Adeline found herself staring up at the ceiling.
"Where…?" Adeline's body trembled as she turned her head.
Everything hurted. Her legs were numb and her muscles were sore. Pins and needles pricked her skin, and she realized she was in Elias's bedroom.
