Twisted (#1 Deathwind Trilogy)

by Holly Hook

I breathe in.

  Lights sting my eyes. Figures stand over me and talk gibberish. They're blurry. Blobs of white and red. They hold me down. A door closes nearby. The world tilts and I'm sure I'm going to throw up.

  I lift my arm.

  It’s covered in dirt. Mud. It can’t be mine.

  Why am I here?

  I let my arm flop back down. My head’s going to break open. Someone tells me I’m all right.

  Pain sears.

  I close my eyes. I don’t care about anything right now. I only want the pain to go away.

  That’s all.

  I fall back into the relief of nothingness.
