Irene woke up with a start and looked around her in trepidation. She was sweating profusely and her heart was thumping wildly in fear. She had never felt this scared before, not even when she had been murdered in broad daylight. Her eyes dilated in terror and she frantically looked around her, trying to ensure the man was nowhere in sight.
"Milady," Reyna scrambled to her feet when she saw her Mistress waking up. Her eyelashes were wet with unshed tears. But Irene was too terrified to notice her state.
"Where am I?" She mumbled in a daze. She had completely forgotten where she was and how she had gotten here. All she could remember was the man's devious gaze on her before his teeth pierced her skin and sucked her blood.
Irene touched her skin where the man had bitten and she jumped out of bed, searching for the mirror. To her relief, there were no signs of injury or teeth marks on them and it was only then that she calmed down.
