Door In Moorgate

[iopenthings]

The first thing she knows is that she isn't dead.

She knows, knows, that when she dies, Mother and Father and Arch will meet her, and they're not here, so she must not be dead.

She is, to be honest, a little disappointed. She is sick - so fucking sick - of running, of fighting.

Well, she thought when they finally caught her, it's about time.

But here she is.

She has no idea what day or time it is - but she does know that she sent rat after rat after rat after... Tom never came. If he had made it home, he would have come for her.

This is the second thing she knows.


The third thing she knows is that her hands are tied much more securely, this time. She won't get a finger on the knots binding her wrists, this time. She-- can't move. Any movement tightens another rope, threatening to strangle her, or pull her hip out of joint, or slice into her wrist.

She's blindfolded.

She's not gagged. It's really rather idiotic, she thinks, that she isn't gagged, but she isn't.

And so she screams. And screams. And screams.

And screams.
