Maria slowly opened her eyes, trying to orient herself. There was a strange liquid being poured into her mouth, but the taste was excellent. Her emerald eyes studied the figure in front of her carefully. She tried moving her hand, but the person seemed to already be grabbing on to it.
"Maria? Are you okay?"
Maria squinted her eyes.
"Jacob?"
Jacob hugged Maria tightly as she woke up.
"Ow. My everything is sore."
Jacob let her go and gave her some space.
"I'm sorry. I was just worried that you wouldn't wake up. Doc! I have another one!"
Doc rushed over with a large plate of cooked meat. The smell of the meat reminded her of the days when she was Jacob's servant in the kingdom. Her body moved on its own, her eyes ignited with avarice, and she pounced on the food like a wild beast. Doc jumped back and yelped, dropping the plate of meat. Maria continued devouring the food at an alarming rate.
