Katarina’s POV
“Hey! HEY!” I banged my fist against the door. “You fuckers hear me?! I said I want out!”
Silence. “GUARDS!”
I screamed till my throat burned.
Nothing.
The guards outside didn’t answer. They never did. Not unless it was to drag me somewhere or shove a tray through the slit in the door. I kicked it once. Weakly. My leg barely lifted. I was so goddamn tired.
I sank back onto the mattress, this thin, scratchy excuse of a bed. My body ached in places I couldn’t even name. My head was heavy. My throat was dry. My eyes burned.
There was just a heaviness in my chest I couldn’t shake.
I missed Mateo. I missed Selena. I missed... being human.
“ Where are you, Mateo? Where are you, Selena? “
I stared at the ceiling.
Nothing but silence and shadows.
I hated it here.
