lillian's pov

i didn't know where i was, but my heart was pounding. i try to remember who i am, my last memory. nothing.

i was lying face down on grass, damp earth. i dug my fingertips into the vegetation.

my head peeled off the ground slowly as if on autopilot, i lacked control over my movements - my brain and body out of sync.

i scanned my surroundings rapidly. all i can see is a mass of thick, fur trees in every direction. it's night time, the only source of light came from the somber moon.

in the distance, i could hear the sound of waves crashing on a shore. as i rose to my feet, i could see a lake a couple hundred yards from where i was, indicating that i was on a hill of some kind.

where were they? how did i get here?

i somehow felt a sense of urgency, as if i was running out of time. they had to be nearby.

my aching body started to limp towards the source of water. as i got closer, i could hear the sound of the occasional car pass on a road nearby.

keep moving, i told myself. i can find help.

with each step i breathed sharply, my ribs in absolute agony.

just a little bit closer. keep fighting.

"..lilly?"

the sound made me stumble out of shock as a voice emerged from the left.

mick.

i fell to my knees and felt his hands against my bare skin. the warmth from him made my body light up.

as i looked up at him, the pain left my body, evaporating entirely in a single moment.

there he was. his handsome face, concerned but relieved eyes, a wide smile.

"it's you.." i was breathless, tears gushing down my face. the relief was indescribable. "mick, i love you. i love you so much."

the hell was alleviated from me. i no longer felt crushed by a weight that wasn't there. i felt held. i felt seen.

i wrapped my arms around him, and he did the same.

i sobbed into his shoulder, allowing myself to relax into his gentle embrace.

"you found me." i managed to construct a sentence.

he pulled away from the hug, smiling down at me.

"oh lilly.." he pushed a lock of my hair behind my ear. "you're right where you belong."

all of a sudden a sharp pain runs through my scalp as he grabs onto my hair and pulls it tightly.

"you deserve this."

i'm left speechless and i can't move, able to do nothing but watch as a large rock in his left hand flies towards my face.

and then i'm back in that stupid fucking room, surrounded by four concrete walls. instantly i'm screaming, sobbing.

it felt so real. he felt so real at first.

but mick would never do something like that.

remember, lilly. you have to.

mick would never hurt me.
