The thick smell of what seemed like detergent mixed with alcohol assaulted Daniel Rogers nose the moment he regained his consciousness. He opened his eyes but immediately closed them because of the white LED light above him. Opening his mouth, he tried to utter a word only to realized his aching throat.

He craved water. Unable to utter a word, he tried to move his fingers to no avail. Almost immediately, panic rose inside him. What's going on? How come he couldn't move his limbs?

It took him a few minutes to finally recall the last memories that he had. It was Bella… Her crazed eyes and voice echoed inside his head.

"I can see that you are awake?"

Daniel moved his eyes towards the woman who stood in front of him.
