CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Maddie quickly sat, gasping for air. She held her neck and continued breathing fast. Her throat feels dry and hoarse although she felt like she drank gallons of water already. The fear inside her is so intense that she just wanted to cry. Maddie looked around with her heart pounding hard against her chest as if it wanted to break it. Her brows met when she saw a familiar room.
"What the..." she was unable to finish her statement as she was dumbfounded. Maddie quickly got out of bed and as soon her feet touched the cold floor, she knew that she was not dreaming, that she was in her old room.
Maddie ran towards the window and looked out. She covered her mouth when she gasped loudly.
"How am I here? Am I dead?" Maddie touched her face then her body.
