Grumbling, I opened my eyes gradually as I blinked in effort to focus my vision. No luck. Cradling my throbbing head, I tried to rationally think what the hell just happened. With my hand, I felt a tightly bound bandage around my crown. I had no idea what the hell happened, but I knew I was in such agony it hurt to even move.

...Wait...

Listening carefully, I heard a barely traceable creek from a nearby door handle as I watched it slowly turn. Oh fuck. Now I remembered. I frenetically tried to haul my weak body off what I thought was a doctor's operating table when I heard the door click open.

Shit.

My eyes flicked back shut as I lay motionless, trying to convince myself to go back asleep.
"Wakey wakey!" , a deep soft voice spoke from the corner of the room. It's light footsteps becoming nearer, it slowly whispered in my ear, "I saw you moving", with a obvious smirk, which made me jutter uncontrollably. Opening my eyes, I stared into it's vibrant white eyes with flecks of silver and shivered. Meeting my gaze, it said in a graceful voice, " Quite a fall...thirteen stitches... you may suffer headaches for the next week or so, but I assure you'll be fine with the right medication and treatment " , dropping a white pill into a glass of water then motioning me to take it. At that point, I was pretty much desperate for any medication for the agony I was enduring so I took the crystal glass without hesitation and drank it within ten seconds. Eyebrows raised, he took the glass and poured some more water from a shining silver jug into it and gave it to me. Yet again, ten seconds past and the glass again empty again. Smiling with pointed teeth, it realised it's mistake and concealed it's sharp teeth with a closed grin. "Introductions! Well, I'm Jett, pleasure to meet you!" He said gesturing me to take his hand. I shook it with my own fragile hand then looked away. "I'm Vigee", I replied faintly. Without warning, Jett picked me up from the doctors table as if I was a rag-doll and carried me out of the room. Hanging on with to his strong body, I couldn't help but to think he was...very attractive...

I shook the thought from my mind. It must have been the pills.

Unlocking a shadowy door, I was taken into a red velvety room and placed on a scarlet satin bed where I was then tucked in neatly. Delicately planting a kiss on my forehead, the young man spoke, " You've slept through most of the day, you might as well rest for the remainder of the evening. If you need anything at all, just tug on this rope here," , motioning to a nearby rope , " and I'll be right there " , stroking my hair as he said so. I nodded weakly and shut my eyelids. He took this and an opportunity to leave and closed the door behind him quietly.
I then heard a click ; I'm locked in...
