Chapter 59: Better Off Dead

Arianna woke up with a wince, her body hurt like hell as if she had been tossed around like a bag of potatoes. But that was the least of her problems because right now she couldn't see a thing and that was only because she was hooded.

She turned left and right, struggling to pull herself free all to no avail because her hands were cuffed behind her back. It was dark and hot inside her hood, Arianna feared she might suffocate before they came to her aid.

"Let me out of here!" Arianna screamed muffledly. This was not the way to treat a lady. It was highly inappropriate!

Anyway, her prayers must have been given attention to because she heard the sound of approaching footsteps and calmed down immediately knowing they would free her.

As Arianna thought, the bag was pulled away and she had to squint her eyes against the sudden sunlight that threatened to blind her.
