I blinked away the spots in my vision and headed into the

bathroom, throwing my fist into the silver-framed mirror

above the sink. Shards of glass spilled into the sink, and I

grabbed a washcloth, wrapping it around a piece of glass and

heading for my door.

I stumbled, though, the room spinning in front of me.

“What the fuck?” I gritted out, impatient.

The wound was bearable, but sweat covered my brow, and

nausea rolled through my stomach. I blinked long and hard,

but every time I opened my eyes, the room was getting

blacker, like I was sinking deeper into a tunnel, the light at the

end getting smaller and smaller. Blood slowly seeped through

my black T-shirt and down my pants.

Fuck, this wasn’t good. I needed food. Or water. And the

pain was fucking irritating.

I rubbed my eyes, but instead of moving for the door, I fell

down on my bed, letting my head fall back.

The cool comforter felt like heaven, and I swung a leg up,

trying to calm my breathing.

Just a minute. Just need to rest for one fucking minute.

I wasn’t sure if I fell asleep or how long I was asleep, but I

opened my eyes with a start, the room pitch black and a body

on top of me.

“Shhh,” the shadow said, her hand over my mouth.

What? Who was this?

I reached up, grabbing her and recognizing the feel of her

hair and her head in my hands.

Oh, my God. You’ve got to be kidding me.

“Winter?” I blurted out. “What the fuck?”

“Shhh,” she hissed, pressing her hand down on me harder.

“Be very quiet. They’re right outside the door.”

She was saving me?

“How did you get in here?” I asked.
