Update schedule: whenever I feel like it- but with the short chapters I hope to update at least every few days, or weekly- but no promises because my motivation comes and goes- (I just realized that tells you nothing-)
TW: blood, chains

A metallic smell filled my nose, waking me up. Forcing my eyes open I saw my mo- the lady was gone. I looked down at my wounds to see how bad they are, only to noduce crimson staining my clothing around where I was stabbed. I was too distracted by the pain of being stabbed and the lemon juice stinging my injuries to notice the blood seeping out through my skin.

I let out a shaky breath before trying to put pressure on my shoulder before remembering why I couldn't move my arms before- metal chains wrapped around my wrist trapping me to the wall. I could easily break out using my magi- no... that's too risky. Without my headband or pills I could end up losing control because of all the pain and fear I'm feeling... and I don't want to end up doing something unforgivable.

...

I pulled the chains as hard as I could, trying to see if I can break out of their hold without magic.

Pull

Even with the feeling of the chains rubbing agents by skin

Pull... Harder

Even with the sting as my wrists

Don't stop pulling

Even with the metal braking the skin around my skin

Don't stop

With blood seeping from my wrists

You might be freed-

I didn't stop until I was exhausted, until my vision was blurry from the blood loss.

I only stopped when I black out...
