Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.


"The worst is over now, rest easy," I hear that voice in my ear again. I can feel the truth of their words as the waves of agony mellow out into nothing. There's still stinging in my back, but it's not as bad as before.

Hands manipulate my body until I'm laying on my side and my head is on something soft. Humming fills the air and my mind feels fuzzy. When the hands come back and start running through my hair, I fall back into an unconscious state.
