Pain is the first thing that registers, my whole body stiff. The disgustingly familiar sterile scent engulfs me.

I feel someone's touch, where am I?

I'm laying down, apparently on a bed made of fucking rocks.

It's not just a boulder, it's a rock
not the time

I try to breathe, only for there to be something in my throat causing me to begin coughing.

I slowly open my eyes, lucky it seem to be a bit late so I'm not blinded by lights.

I quickly take in my surroundings, I'm in hospital. Deja vu hits me like a rogue wave, I look around expecting to see my mother. Except when I look my eyes meet with icy blue ones, ones that belong to the one and only Kol Stevens

"NURSE!" He yells, ouch fucking cunt. Cant he see I just woke up here?

He turns his attention back to me, his eyes swarming with a sea of emotions the most prominent being, relief. "You came back to me mìlo" he whispers before nurses start rushing the room, kicking him out in the process

"No way!" I throw my head back laughing as Samuel tells me all about this new boy he's been seeing, Oliver.

I had dealt with hours of tests, screenings being poked and prodded like I'm a pig at some meat show. Kol hadn't come back since getting kicked out, I swallowed my pride and asked Samuel about it. He only said he had to do something but that he'll be back. I don't know why he has to be vague but I didn't press the issue. I'm glad to be talking with Sami.

The doctors informed me I had been in a coma for three weeks. I was upset at first but as soon as I went to take my first shower I was thankful.

I slowly step out of the hospital gown, eager to take my first shower. I look up at myself in the mirror when I'm frozen, I hadn't forgotten about why or how I ended up in the hospital but this is the first time I'm truly seeing the aftermath.

My eyes rake over my body, hesitantly taking in my appearance. Scars cover my body, some less noticeable than others.

I run my fingers across my chest, a long scar cross from my left shoulder between my breasts all the way to my right side. One more horizontal running from the middle of my chest to my right shoulder, A few smaller ones on my stomach, I cast my gaze to my thighs as my breath catches in my throat at the sight, tears now flowing down my cheeks.

Another long scar runs from the inside of my lower thigh up to the outside accompanied by a few others. Lucking my left thigh seems untouched. I hastily turn around, throwing my head over my shoulder trying to see the damage done, I know he had hit my back the most.

I bite my lip, holding back a scream as I finally lay my eyes on my back.

I look like a monster.

"Persephone, Earth to phoneyyy" Samis voice draws me out of my painful memories, "why are you crying" I didn't know I was crying, I quickly wipe it away.
