She Wakes

Lily had no idea how long she was asleep. Additionally, she was unaware of the number of times she had awoken and harassed the man who instilled fear in the heart of man. When she opened her eyes, she felt that something had changed inside her.

The thing that set her heart at peace was the message her brother sent her. He had managed to make her feel better about her situation. As long as Angelo was safe, she had no major worries. He was her ultimate strength and weakness.

As her hazel orbs opened, a dimpled smile graced her lips. Everything felt brighter and more beautiful. She felt more alive than she has had in a long time. Her body felt fully in control. She was no longer weak from being drained. 

The most wonderful part of it all was that she was once again in charge of her emotions. Unfortunately, she couldn't get out of the place without his permission. Unless he let her go of his own accord, she would be a prisoner in hell.
