Cold...why was I cold? My eyes slowly opened and I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the lack of light in the stone room. Wait...Stone? I shot up and immediately regretted it when my shoulder reminded me of the nasty fall but...where was I?

I sniffed, trying to pick up a scent that was familiar but nothing came through. My still usable arm was still drenched in blood so either I walked here on my own or...no...there was a man...but where was he now?

"Hello?"

Nothing...only sound that reached my sensitive ears was water dripping farther back in the cave. I stilled, waiting for another sound other than the water when footsteps making their way to the mouth of the cave made me snap out of my trance and stand. My shoulder complained...loudly, about the sudden movements but I didn't know what to do other than pressing myself in the darkest corner of the cave, my eyes flashing red in rage and pain.
