Chapter 35: Chapter 34

　　Danika woke up the next morning,disoriented. Her body heavy, her surrounding completely unfamiliar.

　　She opened her eyes and can't recognize where she is. This wealthy luxurious place can only mean one place....

　　No...no way.

　　She sat up and her eyes widened. She is really in the King's Chambers! She slept here!

　　"Ohheavens, ohheavens, ohheavens, ohheavens! What did I do!?" She whispered to herself in sheer horror.

　　She peeked up...up...up...to the top of the bed and let out a deep breath of relief. He isn't there. The king isn't here.

　　As she got of from the bed, the event of yesterday came crashing into her head. Being taking from her room....being flogged...she fainted...

　　With the return of the memory came the recognition of the dull pain coming from her back. The pain wasn't as much as it was yesterday....as much as she expected it to be.

　　She tiptoed to the nearest mirror and stared at her back. A map of green leaves and whitish concoctions.
