Chapter 42 - She Is Strong

(Rigel)

It feels like an eternity since I have been imprisoned in this forsaken place. After the murder of my mother, I was captured, cursed and thrown into this cell. 

The horrors I have faced, the abuse and torture I have gone through broke me, took away my humanity. 

I killed aimlessly, did what was asked just to ease the constant pain I am kept in. 

All hopes of ever being free, all hopes of anyone ever finding me were lost until she appeared semi-naked. Glistening with sweat and holding a lantern like the beacon of my solace. 

She is wearing a necklace with a crystal that somehow feels familiar. 

Her scent hits me like an avalanche of sensory overload. Not like the metallic scent of other humans and species, but more potent than life itself, so savoury that my mouth watered, so warm and sweet that words can't even describe it. Her blood doesn't roar under her veins like normal humans, it hums and sings for me.
