Chapter Thirty

I was starting to get used to the feeling of having my eyelids glued heavily as bricks, making me unable to open them for a while now. This time, however, my whole body felt the same, everything hurt like I overdid a workout, rolled down the stairs and got hit by the hooves of a horse afterward.

Even breathing hurt, but only when I tried to heavily breathe. I stood still for a moment, trying to sense my surroundings, hearing the constant drip of water somewhere, the smooth wind, but, otherwise, it was utterly quiet.

I lick my dry lips, trying to move my paws but something… something just felt wrong. I stretch my body, making it crack all over, and regretted immediately once a burning pain makes me double over my sides, feeling mine still sore side. Strangely enough though is that my lungs were healed, and my ribs put together, still bending like a loose limb. I put my hand over my side, trying to feel it for wounds.

And froze in place.
