บท 656: Chapter 6: I Know You're Awake

I held my breath, waiting for Ashely to say something or react. When nothing happened, I started thinking about how I could fight them off and escape.

It was just Ashley and Soren, from what I could tell. I might not be stronger than the two of them but I was fast. My desire to survive was strong. If I could get to a window, I’d be able to flee before they detained me… I just didn’t know where any of the windows in this room were!

“Huh,” Ashley muttered.

This was it. Time for me to escape.

“Her wounds haven’t healed yet. I don’t understand why,” Ashley said with a sigh.

I started breathing again, lightly so she wouldn’t see that I’d been holding my breath. I guess I fooled her after all.

Ashley went back to applying the pain relief cream and I stayed still this time. Warmth and relief swept through me as my pain lessened. By the time she was done, I might be well enough to pick myself up and escape… at least, until the painkillers wore off.
