Captive Rose
“She immediately threw her arm over them, crying out at the blinding sunlight that had pierced her brain. With her head now hurting all the more, she trembled with nausea and lay very still, dazedly hoping the sickness would pass.
It did not. She rolled over, her eyes squeezed shut and her hands groping at thin air, and vomited. When she was finished she lay still, dangling over the edge of something soft that smelled of musk. The heavy fragrance made her sick again, this time so wretchedly that... she thought her stomach would burst from the heaving pain. With her head upside down, she felt warmth rushing to her face, but she was too weak to move.
Long, agonizing minutes dragged by before she dared open her eyes again. She did so very, very slowly.
The first thing she saw was something bright red, and she thought she had vomited blood. She screamed long and loud, the stoicism she had developed after years of medical training evaporating at the terrifying sight. Other people's blood was one thing; her own was an entirely different matter.MoreLess
