Chapter 13 The Bloodthirst

• Melissa's Point of View
• I recall thinking about the ceiling. All I can see is the fluorescent light over my head, glaring down on me and causing a bead of sweat to stream down my neck. My head is banging against my skull, and my heart is beating in my ears. I couldn't tell if I was asleep or awake. I just recall the ceiling.
• Were my eyes open already, or did I open them? When I turned my head to the side, my head felt heavy, and my limbs felt like they were weighted down. The entire space looks to be white. My eyes are too bright, so I close them to adjust to the highly illuminated environment before reopening. My eyelids were heavy, and I was attempting to focus on breathing, pulling a deep breath in to fill my lungs before exhaling.
