Chapter 52- Monster
Selene ~~
Everything was blurry at first.
Like I was stuck between sleep and waking.
My body felt heavy. My chest was tight.
I tried to blink, but even that was hard.
Slowly… very slowly… I strained my eyes to open.
Light hit me, soft and warm.
Then I saw it—a ceiling.
A familiar ceiling.
My heart skipped.
I knew this place.
I was in a room… and lying on a bed… fully covered.
My fingers twitched under the blanket as memories rushed back all at once—
The crying.
The pain.
The mirror.
The blood.
I gasped and sat up quickly, touching my face, my eyes, my cheeks, over and over again.
Were my eyes still red? Were they still bleeding?
I didn't even notice that I wasn't alone in the room.
All I cared about was my eyes.
My eyes were bleeding.
I could still remember the panic, the horror.
That image was carved into my brain. Blood running down my cheeks like tears—only it wasn't tears. It was something darker. Something wrong.
