Chapter 100. Awake

LUCIUS' POV

I woke up to a weird sound of a beeping machine.

'What the hell is that noise? More importantly, what is that noise doing in my room?' I asked myself.

I was more shocked when I saw complete darkness around me.

'Maia?' I called out, or so I thought I did.

'Welcome back, dickhead,' Lucian said.

'Huh?' I asked, confused.

'You have been out for a couple of months. We both have been, but I woke up earlier than you,' he replied.

'Out? What do you mean?' I asked.

'Did you lose your vocabulary while we were in a coma?' He asked in return.

'We were in a coma?' I exclaimed.

'Yes, genius!' He replied.

'For how long?' I asked.

'I don't know, but I have been awake for a couple of weeks,' he replied.

'Why can't I see a thing, then?' I asked.

'I don't think your eyes are open, Lucius. Try again,' he replied.

I focused on what he said and tried to open my eyes again.
