Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Betrayal

I felt someone's presence beside me before I actually opened my eyes. Someone was holding my hand.

Will? He was okay?

"Will?" I mumbled tiredly finally opening my eyes and squinting in the bright light.

"Marriah!" A voice spoke up but it wasn't Will, it was Jacob.

"Jake it's you!" I cried out, I was beyond relieved that he was alright. I struggled to sit up and winced as I felt my head throb in pain.

He pushed me down gently back on the bed I was currently lying on. I looked around and noticed that we were in a plain white walled room with no windows. The bed seemed to be the only object present, along with the small stool placed beside it, on which Jacob was currently sitting. A narrow door in front was the only entrance and exit, from the looks of it the door was probably locked.

"Easy there, not too quickly you might get a concussion. The exhaustion still hasn't worn out." He explained.
