Chapter 1: Waking Up
Gah!
With a gasp, she opened her eyes. Her heart pounded and she felt like she reached the surface after holding her breath for long under a pond.
Her eyes were dry and she blinked hard to get a sense of where she is.
There was the sound of rain falling on the tiled roof and the startled neigh of horses.
The leaky roof above wasn’t of much help to stop her from getting wet. The wet stone tiles were cold as ice beneath her back making her shiver.
[Where am I?
Who am I?]
Feeling someone grabbing her legs, she looked down. A couple of men were beneath her feet and they were mumbling something.
[What language are they speaking?]
She didn’t feel the need to understand their language as their actions made her startled. Before she could react, one of the men got to her and placed his big dirty hand over her face, covering her mouth.
[No! Leave me be!]
It was suffocating and she couldn’t even shout. She tried to bite his hand, but his hold was very tight, she could do nothing.
