Chapter XII: "I got you,"
Serafina scrubbed at her arms with trembling fingers, whimpering when the blood wouldn't get off and the stench embraced her mind, her tears blurring her vision. Her heart thundered against her ribcage, feeling as if though it would jump out of her chest and forcing her breaths to come in short pants.

They had been here almost a month now and Serafina felt a lot better than when she had arrived. Smiling some even laughing at Alessio, she even resumed calling him by his nickname: 'cupcake'.
