My mouth fills with the metallic taste of blood as my back slams into the imposing wall. I'm incapable of forming coherent thoughts for now, my head is dizzy with pain and my body feels hot and cold. And my skin feels like its breaking off.
I wish.
If it was possible I'd shed this skin in this exact moment and slither away on my belly... A big if seeing as how I'm human and not a snake. How would a human female of the aproximate age of sixteen get caught up in the demon slave trade? I don't remember. And I think I was sixteen when I was brought here, who knew how long its been since. It feels like its been an eternity. And these next few minutes will be an eternity. My life will is a never ending series of blood and pain. The last thing I feel before I fall into that blissful darkness is a silent screaming rupturing blood in my throat.
I wish...
I could escape...
And I don't want to die...
I just don't want live this life...
Part 2 of Chapter 1
I awoke with a start, my head throbbing and a metallic taste coating my tongue. I sat up quickly, dizziness overwhelming my stunned senses. Where was I? The last thing I remembered was the darkness of that dank blood clad room. But now as I looked around I realized that this was no room I had ever been in.
Dark velvet curtains were pulled across the large greek style windows, cloaking most of the room in shadows. What I could feel was the soft silkiness of the fabric swathing my body, the coolness a relief to my otherwise burning body. I laid back against the pillows, confusion striking my already muddled mind.
How had I gotten to this room?
