Ravenna felt as if she had fallen into a pit of darkness. Everywhere was dark, and whispers and cries of people demoralising her. It was excruciatingly painful listening, especially to Alaric's voice. She tried to open her mouth and explain herself, but nothing came out. Her throat felt dry with sharp pain any time she tried to say a word.
"Miss, are you okay?" A feminine voice resonated in her ears, waking Ravenna from the nightmare. "Miss. Can you hear me?"
"Wa...ter," Ravenna stuttered, her voice hoarse due to dryness and pain.
A female nurse went ahead and poured her a glass of water and assisted her to take a few gulps.
"How do you feel? Any pain?" The nurse enquired, placing the glass on a table.
Ravenna shook her head in a slow motion while glancing around as if looking for someone. "How... did I get... here?" Her throat was still in pain, but her words were still clear.
