Part six of Shadow Kissed! I'm a bit stuck on what should happen next from here. Suggestions welcome! Enjoy.

She woke up in a bright white room, having to squint against the huge fluorescent lights that hung above her head. The floor was soft and a bit bouncy, like she was sitting on a cloud coated trampoline. Almost instantly she felt the sharp pain in the hole where her heart once sat, with her senses not dulled by adrenaline, the pain was nearly unbearable. She sent out a blood-curling scream that just bounced back of the padded walls and hit her in the face. She looked down at the white gown she didn't remember putting on, and the red circle of blood, it's color heightened by the contrast of red on white.
She lifted a shaking hand that wore a plastic bracelet with number and lines on it that she didn't remember having clasp on, and gently pulled the collar of her shirt down, wincing when dried blood unlatched itself from her tender skin, slipped her arms out of the sleeves and let the gown flow to the floor. Underneath she wore nothing but a pair of pale pink panties that she had never seen in her life until now, but no bra. She walked slowly and drunkenly over to a full size mirror that dug into the padded wall and gawked at what she saw.
A ghostly pale, short, half-naked girl stared back at Nanali. She had frizzy long midnight black hair, puffy tired looking grey eyes, and a gaping, bloody, hollow hole in her chest. Nanali reached out towards the girl and gasped as the girl mimicked her moves, and as she realized the girl even wore the same pale pink panties as she did.
A wave of nausea took over Nanali's body as she recalled the nights events. The fire, the tornadoes, darkness, and, most importantly, the ball of light that hollowed her out, left her empty with nothing left but her magic and her memories, the very things she wanted gone. And now what was left? Nothing, nothing at all. Most girls would cry if they realized they were empty, but Nanali couldn't. She didn't feel sadness, hurt, angry, or anything, she didn't have that privilege anymore. She only felt two things: Pain and no pain.
Nanali shoved her fist inside the hole in her chest and screamed out in agony. Grinding her teeth together she pulled her hand out and starred at the red liquid that dripped down off her fingers. She held her hand up to the light and watched the blood roll of the tips of her fingers and onto the plush white floor, making red splashes. She looked back up at the mirror then scanned the room.
Everything was white and the room was near empty. Nothing but a mirror, bed, and shower took up the huge space with her. No windows, no air vents, and the door was pad locked. No way to escape.
No way for a human to escape. Nanali shook her head and smiled, the tips of her fangs poked on her lower lips.
"Stupid, stupid mortals," she conjured up a wad of fire," so dumb," she threw the fire ball and the wall and watched as the padding slowly melted off, forming a small hole she could crawl through," so ignorant."

I really like on how Nanali has changed since her heart has left her body. I enspecially like how you said,
"She didn't feel sadness, hurt, angry, or anything, she didn't have that privilege anymore. She only felt two things: Pain and no pain."


That's very deep and powerful. The only thing that bothers me is on how short each of these parts are. Make them a bit longer? Good job, though. Keep writing. :]
