Chapter 15: Shock

Olivia POV

The darkness of the room left an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I tried to focus my senses on my environment as I tried to take it all in.

The hand pressed tightly on my lips was foreign, but I could still smell the scent of raspberries. I tried to place the scent on a person, then after a moment of thinking, it hit me.

I wriggled out of the grip and finally freed myself. My vision wasn’t focused fully, but I could see outlines as my senses grew accustomed to the dark.

“What is the meaning of this?” I asked in a harsh tone.

The person pushed me into the wall, and I heard a menacing chuckle. “Oh little fishy, did I scare you?” The voice was cold, and it sent chills down my spine.

Not wanting to show weakness, I raised my chin and strengthened my shoulders as I said, “What do you want, Samantha?”
