Caged in Labor
I screamed with all my remaining strength, clinging to the last shred of hope.
Finally, I heard footsteps outside.
"Please, help me!" I cried out. "I'm locked in the silver cage! I'm about to give birth!"
I repeated it over and over, thinking I was saved.
But then I heard a voice, dripping with smug satisfaction.
"Well, well, Elena. Look at you now. Damien should have put you in your place long ago."
It was Damien's sister, Sophia.
I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to keep my voice steady. "Sophia, please, just get me out of here. The baby is coming. I can't wait."
