EVA'S POV
"So you're finally awake, Eva."
That voice. Too sweet, like poisoned honey.
I looked up slowly, Selene stood at the door, her hands clasped like she was really concerned. There was not a single trace of guilt in her expression.
I blinked, eyes wide, as if confused. "Selene?"
She smiled gently, stepping further inside. "Yes, darling. You gave us all quite a scare."
I could see the glint in her eyes. That gleam of satisfaction hidden just beneath the surface. I sat up straighter, hiding the slight pull of pain in my side.
"Damien, can you leave? I'd like to rest for a while." He stared at me for a moment, eyes flickering between me and selene and then he nodded and went out.
My body remembered everything. The thick smoke. The locked door. Her last words before it all went dark. And I was pretty sure she was the one who dragged me to the mechanical room.
But I couldn't let her know that yet.
