Sylvia's POV:
It was sheer darkness. It felt like I had wandered in darkness for a very long time. It wasn't until I heard Yana's desperate call from the depths of my soul that I was suddenly dragged back to reality.
"Sylvia! Sylvia, you're finally awake! You almost scared me to death!" Yana whimpered.
It took me a while to gather my bearings.
"How long was I asleep?" I asked in a daze.
"Too long! I was so worried." After sobbing for a while, Yana gradually calmed down. "How do you feel?"
"I just have a bit of a headache."
I rubbed my temples and climbed out of bed. The memories from before I fell asleep rushed into my mind like a tide.
Damn it! I needed to be more careful next time. These vampires were so shameless that they even drugged the bread.
I took out the candle and matches that I had hidden under the bed and quickly lit the candle to check the time.
It was almost eight o'clock, but I couldn't tell if it was day or night. I just felt that I had slept for a very long time. My body was exhausted.
I held the candle in front of me and observed my surroundings. I was still in the same room, and my clothes hadn't changed.
I figured they had only drugged me in case I'd try to run around.
I didn't know if it was a side effect of the drug, but I felt extremely dizzy. I blew out the candle and climbed back into bed to rest. A few minutes later, I felt a little better.
So I stood up, walked to the door, and tried the knob. This time, the door was not locked.
I pushed the door open and walked into the corridor, which was illuminated with a warm yellow light. It was still incredibly dim, so I figured it was nighttime. I had slept for a whole day.
I could hear faint music coming from downstairs. The vampires must have come out of their rooms for nightly entertainment.
I walked towards the stairs.
After taking just a few steps, I saw Nicole rushing up the stairs.
