The first thing I noticed upon waking up was that I couldn't move. I felt my body being with something binding me.
Opening my eyes, I looked down and chains wrapped around me, from my ankles to my arms.
I gritted my teeth, feeling the pulsing pain in my eyes. I remembered what happened before I passed out.
The vampire soldiers found us, and they knocked us out. When I tilted my head upwards, a ceiling with a golden chandelier made my eyes burn.
I recognized the hall, the Kings Room where people give out their punishment, but it was quiet as if nobody was here.
Noises of grunts echoed beside my ears. I turned my head and saw Alexander tied up like me, and he was knocked unconscious.
He was beginning to wake up, and I tried to crawl to him despite chains restricting me.
I nudged his shoulder with my head, and Alexander's eyes flew wide open, and his face was pale.
I asked with a hint of concern, "You okay?"
