Pain.

That was the first thing I felt. It was a deep, heavy ache that pulsed through the back of my head. It throbbed with every heartbeat, every breath, every tiny movement.

A quiet whimper escaped me before I even opened my eyes.

The world slowly came into focus.

The ceiling above me was stained with water marks. One of the fluorescent lights flickered every few seconds, buzzing loudly enough to make my headache worse.

I blinked, everything swam. For a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was. Why was I lying on the floor? Why couldn’t I move?

I tried to lift a hand and suddenly panic shot through me. I jerked harder. My wrists burned.

Rope.

My hands were tied tightly behind my back.

I gasped against something stuffed inside my mouth.

A gag.

My breathing immediately became uneven.

No…

No…

I kicked my legs. My ankles were bound together too. The movement sent another wave of pain through my skull.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

Think.

Think.

What happened?

Mama D…

Morgan opened the door…

I saw Mama D…

Then-

Something slammed into the back of my head.

Everything after that disappeared.

My eyes flew open again. The memory hit so suddenly that my stomach twisted. The room finally stopped spinning enough for me to look around.

I was lying on an old mattress in the corner of what looked like a dirty basement. There were windows all around the top of the wall, connected to the ceiling, but they were covered. The air smelled of dust, old wood and cigarette smoke.

Someone had wrapped a bandage around my head.
