The sound of rustling woke me up. My ears were ringing, my head throbbed, and I felt like I was going to be sick. I opened my eyes and was greeted by a tree branch hanging above me. That's weird. I don't remember a tree being in my room.
I sat up and lay back down. My side was killing me and I was having a hard time breathing. I didn't recognize anything around me. Where am I? I started sitting up but slowly this time. Getting off the bed, a wave of nausea came over me. Good thing there was a bathroom in the room. I ran to the bathroom and threw up.
I was dizzy but I pushed it back and continued to explore where I was. There were little pictures but whoever put me here liked their plants. There were plants galore. I bent down to look at one of the plants and the movement caused my chest to hurt. It was so bad I wanted to scream.
Rustle. Rustle. I looked up at the tree branch. It was coming straight at me. I fell back to avoid getting impaled. The breath was knocked out of me and it took me a few minutes to recover. I hurried to get up, ignoring the pain that I was in, and ran out of the room. I didn't know my way out of this place. There were so many walls and it was almost like a labyrinth. I stopped for a second to catch my breath and heard voices.
I followed the sound to what looked like the living room. There were four guys in there. One is a little older and the other three maybe a couple of years older than me. Holding on to my stomach, I listened to their conversation. " I told you there is a guy trying to kill her." A guy with blonde hair was saying. I couldn't get a good look at him because his back was facing me. " Can you stop saying her? She has a name. It's Ivy if you don't know." A guy with brown hair and gray eyes said. He caught me off guard. How did he know my name?
I zoned out for part of the conversation and listened back when the redhead with green eyes started talking '' You could have got me to help with the fire Jace. I could have helped." "You only know how to create fire, you idiot." The brown head slapped the red hair guy in the back of the head. " I can also control it, jerkface." said as he punched the brown head. They started fighting like two brothers. They must be a family, not sure what they want with me though.
Hold on. Did they just say the redhead could control fire and make it? No way he can, but I don't want to find out. I started running as fast as the pain in my ribs would let me. Somehow I found the front door and ran out. I stopped for a second, looking around, finding nothing but trees. Where am I? I didn't have time to figure it out because I heard voices behind me. Into the trees I went, hoping to find an escape. My breathing was heavy and my steps were slowing. I tried to push on but I tripped over a tree root.
I expected the fall to be hard but instead was greeted by soft leaves and moss. Trying to push myself off the ground I fell back down due to the pain in my chest. Vines and branches started growing around me. I screamed terrified of what was happening around me. The vines seemed to stop moving as they created a dome around my curled-up body. I heard footsteps coming and the vines moved once again. They had something growing out of them and it looked like thorns.
I suddenly felt exhausted and wanted nothing more than to sleep. My eyes grew heavy and I welcomed the darkness that came to greet me.
