When I opened my eyes, everything hurt. My head throbbed, my back burned, and my throat felt dry like sand. I blinked slowly, trying to see clearly. The room was still the same, the torture room. The air still smelled of blood and smoke.
But this time… someone was sitting there.
My heart skipped.
It was Damon.
