101. Never again...

ELOWENPain was the first thing that greeted me.It was everywhere as though my body had been dragged through fire and stitched back together without mercy. My head throbbed in a slow, brutal rhythm, each pulse echoing behind my eyes until it felt like my skull might split apart.I tried to inhale deeply. But it was a mistake. Agony tore through my ribs and ripped a sound from my throat before I could stop it. My breath collapsed into a shallow gasp, my chest locking instinctively as my body rebelled against movement.White light bled into my vision.Too bright. The smell hit next— sterile, antiseptic… Hospital. I- I wasn’t dead.That realization came slowly, dragging itself through fog and fear until it lodged somewhere in my chest, heavy and unreal.I swallowed, my throat dry and burning. My tongue felt swollen, useless. When I tried to move my hand, a dull ache flared through my arm, restrained not by chains this time, but by bandages and pain.Then memory slammed into me… Sere

102. I'm sorry...

ELOWENI stared at the man. My chest tightened, and harsh memories flared— his mother’s cruelty, the shadows of my past, the betrayal that had never truly left me. I saw him standing there, calm, measured, yet something in his eyes made my pulse stutter…He didn’t move forward immediately. He studied me, every bandage, every bruise, every faint tremor as if he could read all the pain written across my body. His gaze flickered— not of malice, not entirely, but of guilt, thinly masked by the calm he presented to the world…I could feel Alexander’s tension before I even noticed it. His body shifted subtly, shoulders squared, his jaw tight, eyes alert and unwavering. Protective, territorial, but controlled— Alexander’s presence was a wall beside me, a steady pulse in the chaos.“Adrian,” Alexander’s voice was low, and deliberate. Every word is measured. There was no aggression yet, but the weight of it pressed down on the room. “What are you doing here?”Adrian’s gaze didn’t waver from

103. Uniforms didn’t mean trust...

ELOWENPain woke me again.Not the sharp, screaming kind that stole breath in an instant, but the deep, buried ache that sat inside my bones like something had cracked me open and forgotten to put me back together properly. It pulsed slowly through my ribs, crawled up my spine, throbbed behind my eyes until it made the world feel heavy and distant.I lay still, afraid to move, staring right at the ceiling above me…The hospital room was dim, washed in that pale, bluish light that came just before dawn. The kind of light that made everything feel unreal, like the world was holding its breath. The machines beside my bed hummed softly, their rhythm steady, almost hypnotic. Too quiet actually, creating a rhythm of elution. No footsteps passed the door. No hushed voices from the hallway. No distant cries, or laughter, no carts rolling, no nurses whispering to one another the way they usually did during night shifts…Just silence.I swallowed slowly, my throat felt dry, my tongue felt he

104. The final blow...

ELOWEN I tried to inhale deeply and only realized I couldn’t. My lungs moved, but the command felt delayed, muffled, like my body was responding through water.“Mara…” I whispered, my throat was hurting. My tongue felt thick. Heavy. My words slurred together, barely recognizable.She looked at me then. And she smiled.It wasn’t warm. It wasn’t kind. It was thin and knowing, the kind of smile that carried secrets sharp enough to cut.Fear exploded in my chest. I tried to move my hand. Nothing happened.I tried to lift my head. My neck wouldn’t respond.I tried to speak, scream for help, but my lips were stuck, my tongue was heavy, falling apart. Panic roared through me, wild and blinding, but my body stayed frozen, trapped beneath the weight of its own betrayal. My heart pounded furiously, yet my limbs lay useless, heavy as stone.Then— the door opened again.Another nurse stepped inside, her face hidden behind a mask. She closed the door carefully behind her and locked it.The clic

105. I Love You

ALEXANDER The coffee was bitter. Too bitter, in fact.I barely tasted it anyway. The paper cup burned my palm as I held it, my other hand pressed to my ear with my phone, listening to David’s voice crackle through the line.“No confirmed location yet,” he said. “But we know she slipped through the city three hours ago. She’s not running blind anymore.”I stopped walking.The hum of the hospital canteen faded into background noise— machines, murmured conversations, the clink of cutlery, none of it mattered. My jaw tightened as I stared at the dark liquid sloshing inside the cup.“She won’t disappear,” I said quietly. “Daniela will attack, soon.”There was a pause on the line. David knew it too.“She’s unstable,” he said. “Lauren’s arrest broke whatever restraint she had left. Psych profiles are flagging escalation.”I tightened my grip. “Which means she won’t wait.”“No,” David agreed. “She’ll go for the source.”My chest compressed, something hot and sharp pressing behind my ribs.“E

106. Trauma...

ELOWENSound came back first… Not all at once. Just a pulse.A soft, mechanical rhythm that kept intruding on the nothingness I was floating in. A distant, steady beep… beep… beep… that felt less like noise and more like something tugging at me, reminding me that I was still tethered to a body somewhere.I didn’t open my eyes. I wasn’t sure I could.The sound thickened, layered with other things— murmurs drifting in and out, footsteps passing somewhere I couldn’t see, the faint hiss of oxygen moving through tubing… It all felt far away, like I was listening from underwater.My mouth tasted wrong. Dry. Bitter. Metallic.Every breath scraped my throat as though I had swallowed sand, and when air finally reached my lungs, it burned, sharp and invasive, as if my body wasn’t entirely convinced it belonged to me anymore.Pain followed then… Not the familiar, dull ache I had grown accustomed to over the past days— but something different. Something deeper. More personal. More death like. Th
