Cold. It was all I knew. Somehow, I don't quite remember, but it found a home inside everyone of my bones. Head to toe. All the time, not even the slightest welcome of warmth.

Then there was the burning. Not the warm, hot burning but the painful, aching burning in my chest and throat. And my head, God what happened to my head?

All the pain came back to my senses at once. All the memories of what happened came flooding in too. It was an emotional and physical train wreck. And finally, there was a voice calling my name over and over.

A Familiar voice. Warm voice. Comforting voice.

As I finally opened my eyes I could feel the ache in my neck telling me I've slept for awhile. I took slow, rugged breaths, trying not to expand my aching lungs.

"Daisy, hey, Daisy open your eyes. Can you open your eyes for me?" Mays calming voice came from right above me. I tried to moved my arms but they wouldn't listen to me. I opened my eyes.

The first thing I noticed was the change of a room. I now sat in a cold corner on the floor with no restraints. My wrists were free and so were my legs. My head sat in something soft, and warm. Then I saw her.

My head lay in Mays lap and she was stroking my hair while gently shaking me awake. Our eyes met.

"Hey sleepy head. You were out for awhile and gave me quite the scare," her voice was soft and the rubbing of my hair felt like heaven. It was still cold. Way too cold.

"May, why the hell is it so cold? I feel like I'm naked in Antarctica."

"I know. I've been trying to keep you warm but I guess it's not working," she offered a small smile. "How do you feel?"

"Fine." One word. One lie. Trying to fool a lie detector.

"Don't kid around Daisy. I'm being serious. They allowed me gauze to tape your hand and shoulder but it's your lungs I'm worried about. And your head. When you were put under the water, it was for2 minutes.Your body went limp after just about a minute and a half. You scared theshitout of me. We all...lets just say we all thought the worst."

She never stopped stroking my hair or looking me in the eyes.

"Now how bad are you hurting?"

"Ugh. ItburnsMay. It feels like someone forced me to swallow gasoline then eat a match. And it just, it aches. Everywhere."

"Well I'm just glad your with us. You gave us all a scare."

"May. Whereiseveryone?" I asked suddenly curious as to why her and I were the only ones in the room. I tried sitting up to get a better view, but failed. It made me lose hope to know how weak I really am. May scolded me for attempting to sit up on my own then gently layed me against the wall. She sat by me the entire time.

"I don't really know. After you went into the water everything went to hell. Mack woke up at all our screaming and started to freak out. Anton taunted Coulson and blamed him for drowning you, and the sick bastard actuallylaughed."

"I remember that," I suddenly jump in. "It's the last thing I saw before I blacked out." My stomach hurt just thinking about the terrible need for air. The burning it caused. The desperation it brought out in me as my hands flew above water looking for something to grab and pull myself up with. And I hated it.

"I'm sorry. You shouldn't have to be going through this just because your an alien. Like Fitz said, it's not fair," May said.

"Not your fault," I replied weakly. Everything was aching and sore.

"I know, but it's still not fair. That's why I'm getting us out of here."

My head peeked up. "What do you mean?"

"I mea-" She didn't get to finish though as the door opened up and in came Anton. May and I stayed sitting down in the corner farthest from the door.

"Well well well, looks like you've gotten some rest, Daisy. You ready for another round?" He grinned. "Grab the pest and leave the Agent," he turned to walk away as his goons walked in. May stood up and got in front of me.

"No. If you want her, you take me too," and with that, she put her arms up ready to fight.

"Agent May. Move before I hurt you, and I reallydon'twant to hurt such a pretty face."

"You can try. Don't hurt yourself though, Anton."

Anton walked in and drew his knife."You know, I might just have to scar you for disrespecting me. And I know the best way to do that." He looked to me, drew back his arm, and threw the knife.

I watched in slow motion as the knife made its way towards my chest. I did the only thing I could. I threw my hands up and started to quake as I jerks my head away from the knife, eyes closed.

Nothing moved though. Not a quake. No vibration. Nothing. That's how the knife made its way into my chest. Right under my left shoulder. And I cried out in pain while May attacked Anton.

More concerned about the fight going on in front of me, I watched as May landed a punch on Antons nose, and heard the satisfyingcrackindicating a break. Then the fight became unfair as Antons two goons came in and tazed May. I watched slowly as she fell to the ground and they kept tazing her.

I saw Anton holding his bloody nose, broken because of May, leave the room. I then looked back to May laying on the ground being tazed a few feet in front of me.

My right hand somehow found its way to the hilt of the knife embedded in my shoulder, and slowly pulled straight out. I let out a low cry of pain as the knife came out. Neither of Antons goons noticed I now had a weapon.

Shakily, I stood up with help from the wall. One of them, Jason I think, looked up and saw me. He hit his friend and pointed to the new threat. Me.
