I woke up in an all white room with heavily startched covers on me.
Frowning I tried to sit up, but the pain in my shoulder ripped through my
body causing me to pant. Everything that had happened came back to me in a
flash. I slowly turned my head to find Chase sitting in the corner asleep.
He looked horrible, but still handsome, there wasn't a time when he wasn't
looking great. I recognized the room, I was in a hospital and I hated
hospitals. Ever since I had seen my mother die in one and watched my father
deteriate after she had died. I closed my eyes trying to relax, but they
flew open again when I heard Jake yelling.
I sat up no longer caring about the injury and said to Chase."Wake up!"
He jerked awake and ran his hand over his eyes and through his hair. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"You need to get out of here, don't worry about me I'll be fine." I said trying to get out of bed.
He was on me as soon as I moved, "We're not where you think. You don't need to move,"
"But if they catch you they won't let you go, they may even kill you" I said my eyes widening in fear at the thought of him dying.
"I won't die. As I said before, we aren't exactly in a hospital." He growled.
"Then where are we?" I cried throwing my hands in the air.
It took him a few minutes to answer and when he did I had wished he hadn't. "We're at Manticore." He said softly, too softly.
