TW: Slight gore

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waking up groggily, my eye opened slowly to a dimly lit stone room. Blinking a few times, I squinted to let my eye adjust to the muted light, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar surroundings.

I didn't understand what was going on.

Why I was somewhere that wasn't the village.

At first, I thought I was still locked up in my room at home...

My mind was playing catchup about what had happened.

My... mother.

The beasts.

My father.

The woods...

And then the...

Castle.

That must be where I am... Where else could I be? A stone room? There isn't much light but I can tell this place looks the outside of the castle. I wonder why-

My thoughts were cut off when I tried to move and noticed I was bound in chains, tied to the wall with my hands above my head like I was some- some criminal.

What the fuck? Why am I in goddamn chains?!

I jerked my wrists to see if I could get out of them, but that only hurt me instead of loosening their hold.

I snarled.

I was starting to get very pissed off.

And when I get pissed off I start to...

Devolve.

"Ce fel de gazde proaste închid un oaspete? Proști nenorociți... Mă auzi?! Să te ia dracu!"

(What kind of stupid fucking hosts lock up a guest? Dumb fucking morons... Do you hear me?! Fuck you!")

I know how I showed up wasn't normal, but do I deserve to fucking be treated this way?

A low buzzing sound caught the attention of my acute hearing. It sounded like flies, making me wonder if the people here ever bothered to clean up. The persistent drone seemed to amplify the eerie atmosphere of the stone room. I strained to locate the source of the noise, the unsettling hum echoing off the cold, hard walls.

The buzzing got closer...

And louder.

It got so loud that I wondered what was going on.

That's... not natural.

All of a sudden, the buzzing stopped. My nerves were on edge, the sudden silence almost more unsettling than the noise itself. As another light flickered to life with a small flame, a woman appeared in its glow. She had blonde hair and light blue eyes, her expression one of someone who seemed suspicious of me because her eyes were narrowed. A black hooded robe draped over her form, tattoos snaking across her skin. My eye drifted to her mouth, where blood coated her lips and smeared across her cheeks, stark against her pale skin.

Seeing that confirmed that these people weren't right in the head.

Fucking... Dammit! I traded one fucked up place for another!
