Disorientation was a feeling I was used to after the numerous concussions I'd suffered at the hands of my father. But this was different. I knew I was lying down, but the forest floor was replaced with crisp linen. As I assessed my situation, another thing became evident, I was trapped, cocooned in something restricting.

"Help!"

I tried to yell but my voice only came out as a whisper. Someone must have heard though, as a pair of hands tried to shake me awake. Instantly I cringed away as flashbacks of my red-eyed attacker flooded my thoughts. My eyes burst open to a worried face looked down at me, but it was one that I hadn't seen before. I tried to sit up but my attempts were pointless as I just became more and more entangled in the restricting sheets that covered my body. The woman beside me tried to stop me from moving but she was no match for my adrenaline fuelled state.

"Dimitri!" She yelled in desperation. The door creaked open and a muscular man came running in, instantly assessing the situation before pinning me down to the bed. Of course, this just made me panic more and I squirmed as best I could.

"You're still injured, you need to calm down," his voice was soft and silky, but somehow still filled with a sense of urgency. I tried to listen to his words but all I could see was the face of my father, pinning me to the floor in one of his drunken episodes. I zoned out of the room and focussed on all that I had learnt from my childhood. I wasn't strong enough to overpower the man so I had to outsmart him. Taking some slow deep breaths, I stopped wriggling and began to relax.

"That's better," the man said as he began to loosen his grip. Great, he's falling for it, I thought, trying not to smirk. I continued taking some deep breaths until he eventually let go of me and took a few steps back. I only had one chance to act.

Now.

In what seemed like such an easy task in my head turned out to be so physically demanding that my plan failed within moments. What was meant to happen was me leaping for the door and making my escape before anyone noticed. What really happened was me screaming in pain as shot of fire exploded down my side, and once again finding myself pinned down by the man, Dimitri.

"Fine," I sighed in resignation, "I give up."

Dimitri and the woman shared a look before I was released once again, this time they both stayed close by.

"My name is Dr. Olendzki, and this is Dimitri Beliklov," the women said, formally introducing them both. "How do you feel?"

I shrugged in reply, unwilling to admit the growing sense of drowsiness beginning to fog my mind.

"Are you in any pain?" She tried to push further, but I still gave her the same response. There was no way I was going to show any sign of weakness if I could help it. The doctor sighed before continuing, "Well, thanks to some…unconventional methods, it looks like you'll make a full recovery. We'll let you get some rest before we get to know each other, I'm sure you're tired." Trying to fight back a yawn, I watched as Dimitri left the room, followed closely behind by the doctor.

I rolled onto my side, hugging my knees to my chest. Only now did it all sink in. Icy cold fear embraced my already shivering form as the events of yesterday repeated in my head. Unbelievably, I was still alive, and by some miracle I didn't even feel half bad. It must be the drugs, I thought as I glanced at the IV cannula embedded into my hand.

As I continued to evaluate my situation, one thing became clear, I couldn't stay here. For all I know these people could be just as bad as the monster that almost killed me, or worse.

I began plotting my next plan of escape as I reluctantly allowed the drowsiness to take over my body. Just before I disappeared into the world of sleep, two red eyes appeared in my thoughts, and with them came the message I was sent to deliver, the words embedding themselves into my mind.
