(Ariel’s POV) I woke up rubbing my eyes with the back of my hands, sleepily. My whole body ached. I stretched my body as I tried to sit up. I had probably slept in a bad position. I squint my eyes momentarily stunned. “Where am I?” I muttered as I looked around and all the shameful memories entered my mind. It was the room Elijah took me in yesterday, the same room that we— I clenched my fist as I shook away my thoughts when I flinched. Suddenly, I felt something cold and tight around my neck. My fingers ran across it— a necklace? Why was a necklace put around my neck? I didn't understand why but there was something suspicious about it. Why put a necklace around my neck in my sleep? I wondered as I pulled at the necklace trying to pull it off, but it wouldn’t budge.
