"What on earth is this?" I croaked out.
I blinked hard, trying to clear the confusion in my head as I stared at the thick red rope that bound my hands and legs to the bed. I scanned the room to be sure I wasn't kidnapped, but then I remembered hitting the tree and seeing Elias.
Also, this was Atlas's room. But that didn't explain the reason I was bound to the bed. I should be at the game! Now, I was brought here. Does that mean I was disqualified? And Cassie…oh god!
Panic clawed up my throat, while I struggled with the rope, in an attempt to free myself, but it only tightened around my wrists and legs, as though something magical had been added to make it that way.
