Chapter 49: The Sacrificial Lamb (part 2)

. . .

"May the oceans run dry... may the earth shatter as the sun extinguishes itself. May the distant stars fall upon Your Name!"

-Bea Blessing

. . .

When Elle wakes up again, it's to a group of men on each side of her, roughly pinning her by the arms, forcing her hands to lie down flat against the flat slab of rock underneath her. It's a raised altar of some sort, she realizes now, because when she sluggishly lolls her head to the side, she was at face-level with some of them.

Her body feels so raw, so used.

The cold wind gushing over from time to time suddenly alerts Elle to the fact that she was naked as the day she was born and... and it feels like her entire being has just been dunked underwater judging by the salty taste coming from the droplets of water still rolling down from her face.

She's freezing.

Is that what had waken her up?
