Chapter 46
Jade
Magic coated my tongue when I woke up the next day, or what I imagined to be the next day. I didn’t have any windows or doors to tell me how much time had passed. My throat was thick as I tried to swallow. All of the screaming and crying I did had left me with an aching throat and a throbbing head. But those things didn’t ache anywhere near the amount that the rest of my body did. It felt like I had been burned alive. There wasn’t an inch of skin that didn’t throb. My wrists were probably some of the worst of the damage too, based on how much I had thrashed against the bindings. The leather was too hard and unforgiving for my skin.
My stomach growled and I squeezed my eyes closed harder. Damian was anything but predictable but I knew that he wasn’t going to let me eat. I hated that I hadn’t been starving myself. I hated that I hadn’t been more careful. I should have seen all of this coming. He wasn’t going to leave me alone, he wasn’t going to leave me be. As I sunk back into the oblivion of my mind, I wondered if maybe it was better if I just died down here.
