"I won't let you fall, Ophelia. Ever. I will catch you. Always." He said, as I stared into his ocean blue eyes.
"But what if you can't? What if the fall is inevitable?"
And I knew I was going to fall. A fall so hard that maybe I would never recover...

The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was darkness.
Eigengrau.
That's what people call it.
For a few moments, I thought maybe I had actually not opened them. Maybe I was still...sleeping? Unconscious?
But then I felt my hands stuck somewhere back to a chair. A random guess, with ropes.
I blinked my eyes again, my head getting heavier by the moment as it lolled to either sides. It took great amount of energy to sit back straight.
I couldn't see anything but I knew that I must have suffered a concussion if my recollection of the past events is right. I was on a chair and it still felt like I was falling. I was maybe....tilting?
At this point, I don't even know.
The next second I realised the extent of how hurt I was. I felt pain in my stomach. My abdomen. My face. My hands. My thighs. And it wasn't some normal pain. I have been hurt before. But this was a lot. I am still debating upon how many places I am rendered vulnerable.
And as the seconds passed by, I felt my eyelids getting heavier. My head seemed to loll back down and I neither had the energy, nor the resolution to pull it back up. Maybe I should just sleep.
What's better in the world other than sleep anyway?

I came back to the human realm with a gasp, my body wet with the water just thrown at me.
I gasped loudly, shaking my head, blinking my eyes, trying to get a hold of what I actually got myself into.
"Looks like you are up, bitch!"
I could make out his voice as he came towards me, his footsteps making me realise just how bad of a headache I was having.
And just how much blood was all over my body.
My eyes weren't completely open but I could see the stark blood on my jeans and some patches on my shirt too, the water doing a great job of messing up the beautiful design the blood made on my clothes.
