Chapter 85

• ALIYAH’S POV
• I blinked awake and realized that the sun was already coming up. After scratching my eye for a bit, I looked down at my body, which was still covered by a blanket. Then, in a flash, I recalled what happened before I got inside the car.
• A gasp escaped my lips. I tried to sit upright, but I found myself unable to move at all. The muscles in my legs felt like jelly. Even my brain felt sluggish and heavy, as if it were full of lead weights. It took everything I had just to be able to make a small movement; pushing the door next to me open and trying to stand up, even if my legs were wobbling terribly. I held the blanket around my neck, covering my naked body.
