Get up. You’ve got to move.
Jadyn’s breath hitched and she stirred, her arm jerking suddenly over her eyes. Her eyelids were heavy, leadened curtains that sealed her in darkness. She lay in something cold and damp and the smell was harsh and familiar. Her brain wasn’t working and she attributed it to how badly her head hurt. She felt as if there was a vice squeezing her skull. She inhaled again and recognized the stench as urine. Jadyn jumped and her legs twitched, causing the sound of metal clinking against metal. She gasped when she felt her leg catch against cold metal and finally she was free to tear her eyes open. Darkness was all around her and she wondered if her eyes were really open at all.
“Hello?!” She shouted, though her voice cracked and creaked as if it had not been used in some time. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, feeling it beating against her ribcage as if it was trying to make a great escape through her front. Her breaths became ragged and she racked her mind for any clue as to where she was. She couldn’t move more than a few inches; trying to do so made her head pound and swim and nausea threatened to overtake her. She couldn’t remember anything apart from her son --
“Cecil?! Cecil!”
Jadyn shrieked his name over and over. She was sure that her vocal cords were bleeding by the time she finally caught a sound moving somewhere above her. Surely it was her son, maybe even his father, and she would be brought out of the darkness. She would be saved in just a matter of moments. She couldn’t explain why she was so focused on whoever was above her coming down to save her; all she knew was that the darkness frightened her. And for good reason, she presumed. The darkness could hide all manner of things from her and she was certainly in no condition to handle something frightening.
