Chapter 26 Twenty-six

• Astrid's POV
• “Where am I?” I mumbled as I struggled to open my eyes slightly. My body ached so badly that for a second, I felt nothing but pain and regret gnawing at my insides.
• “How did this happen...” I muttered, my words catching in my throat as I tried to figure out where I was. The second my eyes opened entirely, I wasn't just welcomed by a warm environment; I was welcomed by the darkness that enveloped the place.
