"Welcome! we've been expecting you" I heard a voice and it wasn't Luke's voice.

I looked around to see if anyone was here but nobody was.

I stayed awake the whole night.

Luke's arm was around my waist so I couldn't really move around or get up.

I didn't hear the voice any more but I was still on it. What did it mean by 'we've been expecting you?'

Who said it?

I finally fell into deep sleep.

----

"Melanie?" I felt Luke shaking me. I tried opening my eyes but I couldn't.

"Melanie!? Wake up!" I heard him again.

"Melanie you're scaring me" I heard again.

He continued shaking me and I continued trying to open my eyes.

I tried opening my mouth to say something but I couldn't. Nothing came out.

"Melanie please wake up" I heard Luke.

I tried and tried but nothing helped.

"Shit"
I heard Luke mutter under his breath. I heard him leaving the room and coming back a couple minutes later.
I felt a small pinch on my neck.

"Melanie I want you to open your eyes in 5 minutes" Luke said.

I was freaking out because I don't know what was happening. I couldn't feel my body. The only thing that I felt was something inside of me moving. And my thoughts.

"Four minutes"

"Three minutes" I tried opening my eyes but I felt another pinch but this time it was on my left arm.

"Two, Mel I know you can here me"
Another pinch on my other arm.

"One, I need you to do this, I need you" I heard Luke.
He needs me? What is happening? What if my eyes don't open what will happen?

"Ten seconds"

I calmed down and waited for him to say to open my eyes.

"Now Melanie"

I tried but nothing.
"Melanie?"

I started to feel weak.

"Come on!" I heard him really worried.

I felt my stomach with a big pain. Like someone was stabbing me multiple times.

I felt something fall on my cheek.

My hand made it's way to my cheek or did I imagine it going to my cheek? I could still feel the liquid on my face.

Five minutes passed but I still couldn't open my eyes.

Ten minutes but still nothing.

Twenty minutes, I heard Luke slamming the door.

Thirty minutes everything felt like it was crashing down.

I felt as if people were ripping me apart.

"You are weaker than we expected" I heard someone say

The next second everything went dark.

----

I woke up for what felt forever.

I opened my eyes and it was hard to get used to the light.

I tried getting out of the bed but I was tied.
