Katherine woke with start. The young woman's head was throbbing, and she suffered the kind of disorientation that one normally did upon first being roused from sleep. She was not certain where she was, she reached out of instinct for the lamp near her bed to find nothing but cold metal chains instead which she immediately fought against finding such things completely sobering.

Katherine searched her mind and memories, and only briefly remembered the events leading up to getting to wherever she happened to be right at the moment.

As Kate tried without success to free herself from her manacles, she suddenly heard the sound of loud clanging in the darkness, such as you'd hear when metal clanged against metal in the cold cool dark crisp night. These were coupled with muffled screams of terror panic and anger.

"Help! Let me go! Let me go! LET ME Go! LEEET ME GO!!!" A woman's who's voice she did not immediately recognize began to scream.

The screaming and crying reached an unbearable crescendo as Kate fought back her own tears.

Kate began working more desperately to fear herself from her own bonds, but to no avail.

Kate used every measure of her self control to keep from totally and completely freaking out. Having no idea what was going on, where she was, who had her,  what their intentions were, or what was happening to the other imprisoned girl was her worst nightmare come true, living and breathing, in the flesh.

Kate shut her eyes and began to pray for a moment hoping that maybe she would open them and wake to a really bad nightmare.
