The man staggered back, cursing.
She rolled barely—but a rough hand yanked her back. A cloth slammed over her mouth. The scent, sweet and chemical hit her like a bullet.
"Can't do a single thing properly…!''
The voice slowly faded in the background as the weird scent invaded her senses.
Ella fought to stay conscious. I have yet to call Adrian back… what if he went into a rage fest again…?
Her wandering thoughts trailed off when she blacked out.
…
''Cough... Cough…''
Ella clutched her throat as a burning sensation rose in it.
She opened her eyes and in the vast darkness, her eyes immediately focused on the single ray of light that pierced into the dark room.
The events that transpired earlier flashed in her mind.
Her head throbbed, ''Where is this… cough… cough…''
''Ella... Ella, are you fine?" A groggy voice sounded from the side.
''Ruby… Why are you here?"
There was no response from the other side for a few moments.
