Seren knows that her choices are limited. Lucia has her right where she wants her and escaping her evil clutches isn't going to be an easy feat.

INSPIRING WORDS
“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”
- Benjamin Spock
CHAPTER 1

My skin was starting to blister from my writhing against the hard-backed chair I’d been tied to. I was still in my apartment. I could still see all of the things which had once made up my pitiful little life, but none of it was right, it had all been disturbed.
Lucia was sitting on the couch. Her head was resting on her hands and her elbows on the small coffee table in front of her. She looked happy. She looked happy in only the way an evil person could. I could see the reflection of my pain in her eyes. My pain was bringing them to life and filling them with a sense of maddened beauty that only a serial killer could appreciate.
“You need to focus more,” she told me airily, with the candle she’d lit ten minutes before still flickering in front of her face.
“I can’t,” I croaked out through my dry throat. “I need to rest, I’m exhausted.” It was true. She hadn’t let me sleep in two days. She’d kept me tied to the chair, working on my darkness, so that when the time came, she could be sure that I’d be ready. “I need some sleep, I can’t even see clearly anymore.”
She laughed shrilly with her head falling back, and then quickly tipped it forward again as her laughter cut off curtly. “Do you think I’m stupid? Do you think I’m going to let you conspire against me with the light while you sleep?”
“If you don’t let me sleep then I’m going to pass out anyway,” I told her flatly.
“Then you will work until you pass out,” she shrugged. “Now, focus on shutting out that light.”
I couldn’t focus. I could barely see the candle. My face was aching with the residual pain from my birthmark and I felt ready for death in a way I’d never known before.
When Lucia had told me that the light would kill me, it had seemed like a great treachery, but she’d changed that. She’d turned death into something, which seemed like a better alternative to what I was going through. At least in death, I’d find some peace.
“You’re not trying,” she said harshly with her hand slamming down on the table. The candle’s flame flickered over the sudden movement in the air before it steadied itself again. “We don’t have long left now. You need to try harder.”
What did she mean that she didn’t have much time left? She’d mentioned something when I’d first met her about my twenty-third birthday.
