Rain's POV:
I wake up feeling… wrong.
Every muscle aches, like my body has weight but no strength.
My eyelids are glued shut, waxy and heavy, and when I try to pry them open the room tilts, spinning in sick, slow circles.
There are noises around me.
Laughter.
Low, distorted voices.
I force myself to listen, but everything feels muffled, like I'm underwater.
My head throbs.
Something is wrong.
Something is so wrong.
Before I can make sense of anything, a shock of freezing water hits me like a slap.
I jerk awake, gasping, choking on my own breath as my eyes finally snap open.
And that's when I feel it.
My wrists.
My ankles.
Pulled apart—stretched—tied down.
Leather biting into skin.
I'm tied to a wooden plank.
Arms and legs spread in four directions like I'm being displayed.
