Chapter 255
My eyes snapped open, and | saw Wendy and Toya staring atfrom the end of my bed, and Sterling's back
running out the door. "No!" | screamed after him. "Cback." But | heard my front door shutting, and | wanted
to cry.
"What do you need, Amy?" Wendy ccloser. "We will get you anything."
In my mind, | knew she was trying to be helpful, but my heart, my body, wasn't listening. | just started crying. "It
hurts." The heat becunbearable, and I rolled over my bed, doing my best to relieve a tiny bit of of the pain. |
snapped my eyes open to my friends. "Water." | was parched, the need was burning through every ounce of
actual thought. | just needed to be cooled. To get relief in any way possible. Wendy nodded and ran out of the
room. She cback with a big glass of cold water and helpeddrink it. The cool water gavea tiny bit of
pleasure. The dryness of my throat disappearing for a second, before coming back stronger. | moaned longer and
pushed her away. | looked at Toya. "Bath?"
"You want a hot bath?" She started out of the room, but I called out.

"Cold."
She turned around. "A cold bath?" | nodded, desperate for the tiny bit of relief the glass of water gave me. She
went straight into my bathroom and filled the tub.
| looked back at Wendy and jiggled the thick chains around my wrists. Understanding dawned on her face.
"Silver. The chains, | mean. To keep you safe." She swallowed. "To keep you from making a mistake." | started to
cry and | couldn't tell you if it was because | wasn't going to jump the next male who called me, or if my friends
lovedenough to stopfrom making a mistake, | knew | would regret. "They will reach the bathroom." She
continued, ignoring my tears. "We made sure before we locked you up, so you can go to the bathroom and stuff.
So you will be able to have your bath without unlocking the chains." | cried harder. But she kept herself away
from me. | didn't blher. "The king..." She kept talking, but my world focused down on those two words. The
king.
Rowan. | needed Rowan.
Toya cback into the room and the two women helpedinto the bathroom. They helpedundress, but
froze when they realized something. "We can't remove your shirt without cutting it."
| looked at them and smiled. "I'm under control. You can take off the chains." | sounded reasonable, but in my
mind, | knew | was on the edge. If they unlocked me, | was running back to Rowan.
"Really?" Wendy stepped closer, and | smiled as | nodded.
"Of course." | jiggled my wrist and waited. In my mind, | was begging them to believe me. Please Goddess,
believe me. But Toya snorted and my hope fell.
"Nice try." She sliced her claw through my shirt and it fell away. "I'm going to leave you in your bra and
underwear." She circled my back and gasped.
"What?" Wendy cand looked.
"When she was hurt, | was focused on the wounds. And it was dark. But seeing her tattoo in the light, after
seeing Nix and Megan, it looks amazing.” Wendy agreed and then they helpedout of my pants. The cool
bathroom air touching my skin made it pebble. This was torture. The heat was unbearable, but the tiny caresses
made it so much worse.
Every shift, every breeze, made the heat go up another notch. | was sure that you could see steam coming from
my pores. Feel it rise offin a haze like in the desert. | was boiling, and no one seemed to care. | cried out, but

"I'm so sorry." Wendy cried. | could smell the saltiness of her tears, but | ignored them. Why was she crying when
| was the one dying?
"Letout, please." | begged. The pain from the hot and cold was short circuiting my body. My skin felt like it
was being ripped from my body and | started to scream. Toya and Wendy helddown in the freezing water,
beggingto understand, but | was lost to the heat. To my need.
Until | wasn't.
My mind cleared enough to finally understand they were helping me. | stopped fighting them and sunk lower into
the water. | could hear their panting, smell the scent of blood, and | looked up. "I'm sorry." My voice was a thick
rasp. Like I had hurt my throat from
screaming.
My phone rang, but we ignored it. But the front door of my place opened and footsteps ran
through my place. And we all froze. | heard panting and then a dark, "Get out."
