CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

Alice opened her eyes slowly. Her head throbbed with pain. She closed her eyes again trying to see if the persistent headache would subside. She touched her neck where she had been hit hard. She was sure it must have broken.

She tried to stand but discovered she was tied firmly with a chain. As she struggled, it reverberated pain through her body. She groaned. Not again. She took a good look at her surrounding. She was in some sort of room. There were no chairs anywhere except the one she was tied to. There was one window where a ray of light passed through which was the only source of illumination in the room.

She didn’t dare move her body. Only her head. She needed to conserve whatever energy she has left. A vampire came in, he looked at her with displeasure and contempt and then left. Probably to report that she was awake.
