Chapter 25

• Brian's POV
• "Brian... wake up... Brian..." The soft, faint voice was like a gentle breeze in my ear, calling out to me from the darkness. I lay battered and bloodied on the cold floor, my guts practically spilling out of my stomach. Every inch of my body screamed in agony, and I couldn't even muster the strength to respond.
• But then, I heard it again. "Brian, please wake up. They have taken Bella... please, you have to wake up... we have to help her..." The mention of Bella's name was like a defibrillator to my heart. It sparked something inside me, and I felt a surge of energy coursing through my veins.
