SHARI slowly opened her eyes despite the throbbing pain in her head. For a moment, she thought everything was just a bad dream.
She sighed in relief as she had just woken up from a nightmare. But when Shari saw Levi unconscious beside her with a lot of bruises on his face. The situation they were in finally sank into her mind.
Oh, shit. No! Shari studied the place. The paint on the wall was dirty white with visible cobwebs and tiny brown spiders on the ceiling. She was lying on an old queen-sized bed, and the room had only one small window. Shari could tell it was still dark outside. Lights were flickering from the bulb on the exterior wall. How long had she been unconscious?
"I'm glad you're awake."
She almost fell off the bed, bewildered, when he heard a familiar voice. Shari immediately turned to her side. The bed squeaked with her sudden movement.
