Chapter 21

　　DAMIEN: 　　My body was on fire. I could feel pains all over as I tried to open my eyes. So much pain that I worry just how much hit I took during the fight. 　　A peek at the ceiling just after I eventually force my eyes open tells me that I was in my chamber. But I wasn't prepared for what I would see when I sit up. 　　Riley was standing right beside my bed. Her expression was a mixture of different emotions that I was finding it hard to pick the one she was actually feeling at the moment. However one thing I was sure of is that she was relieved. 　　"Are you okay?" she asks me. She didn't sound so confident but she still managed to utter the words coherently. 　　I nod. "I'm fine," I say, "but you should be resting. You went through a lot in the hands of those bastards." 　　My voice went cold at the thought of the rogues that I savagely killed in the woods for thinking they could take Riley. I'm still so mad and seeing the bruises on Riley's face and arms were making me even more furious.
