章節 71: The Lady with the Scythe

Laura - Unknown location

I try to move but to no avail. Silver chains restrain my hands and feet in a vertical position, even though my toes don't touch the floor. My skin burns around the bindings, and it hurts even more whenever I try to move.

Nonetheless, I strive and wriggle. At times, I believe I scream, but no sound comes out of my lips, or my ears have stopped working.

My back aches and the wounds covering my body aren’t healing as fast as new ones appear. Even so, they will heal. Only the scars of the soul never disappear.

After all, I am a strigoi. I can't hear my heart beating in my chest, which makes me feel sick and weak. Focusing all my powers, I glamour myself again. I have to feel human.

Footsteps on the rocky floor are steadily approaching the silver door. My torturers visit me once more.

My captors always return. No matter when I manage to sleep or how tired I feel, they're never gone for long.
