Meredith's eyelids fluttered open, waking slowly while her eyes quickly scanned the dungeon around her . The cold of the still air seeped through her flesh and froze her bones.
The icy feeling that flew through her body wasn't from the low temperatures in the room but from the water that had been thrown on her.
Lifting her gaze she saw that her wrists were still bound together by the chains.
All of this was real..she was still here.
Wincing while a grimace spread across her face, the faint sound of the chains clinking from the links rubbing together met her ears.
Her stomach throbbed with a dull pain, her hip sustaining a far worse injury, knowing the bone was slowly healing from within, but she could still feel the deep bruising lingering behind.
"I have to admit you have such a strong healing ability. I'm impressed."
Meredith lifted her eyes to the corner of the room and saw a shadow sitting there.
Seeing that she had woken up, he stood up and strode towards her.
