(Arata)
I drifted into a conscious and an unconscious state for a while before, finally, my eyes could open.
Even then, my eyelids felt so heavy that I could hardly keep them open.
At least there was no pain.
Where was I?
The last I remembered was that bastard Ranold torturing me.
So why wasn't I in pain?
My eyes finally focused and before I could panic, I found myself in a bed with a kind face staring at me with a broad smile.
I had no idea who she was but she didn't seem hostile or people could be deceptive.
That's exactly how Ranold used to smile at me before he took me hostage.
The panic hit me like a tsunami and I tried to shuffle away from the woman.
"Stay back, who are you? Don't come near me," I screeched at her, trying to get up. But I was hooked on IV and whatnot.
"Relax, no one is going to hurt you." The smile vanished from her face as she took a step back, letting me breathe.
She was dressed in all white.
Was I in heaven?
