He shakes his head at me.

I’m not worried about him knowing. I’m pretty sure there isn’t a more trustworthy man in this town than Doc. He might be under Victor’s control like everyone else, but there is no love lost between them.

“It’s been a while since I treated this one,” he says cryptically. “The obvious aside, it’s a relief to see her safe. I always worried about her.”

ALANA

Voices float around me, but I can’t get a grasp on who is talking or what is going on.

I’m floating. Soaring high.

I’ve no idea how I got here. But it’s nice.

And I’m not alone. That’s the best bit.

Or is it?

What if it’s them?

My heart begins to race, my breathing increasing as I picture them.

Have they come for me?

Is that why everything is dark?

I thought I was safe in Reid’s basement.

But it was all a trick. He was just holding me. Biding his time before handing me back over to those sick monsters.

I won’t survive them this time. I barely did the last time.

Tears burn my eyes as I fight to keep control.

My breathing is erratic, the breaths I’m taking aren’t going to my lungs. Nothing is working.

If I can’t even breathe, how am I going to be able to fight them off?

You’re not.

This time, they are going to kill you.

“No,” I scream, and everything only gets worse a few seconds later when hot hands land on my arm. “Get off me. No. Please. Don’t touch me.”

“Little dove, it’s just me. It’s okay. You’re okay.”

That voice. I know that voice.

A hot, firm hand holds mine.

“Reid and I won’t let anything happen to you, okay. You’re safe.”

“JD?” I blurt, something familiar triggering in my head.

“I’m right here. Are you allergic to seafood, baby?” he asks.

Seafood.
