Chapter Text
Her eyes shot open. She heard the pounding, of course, but couldn't, for the life of her, recognize the voice. Where was she? What was happening?
"Hello?"
Groggily, she stumbled out of bed - hardly a graceful way of doing so, but she attributed it to her feet feeling as if they were made of lead - and made her way over to the door, one hand sliding across the wall for a moment until she had her balance again.
'Could you open up, please?"
... A human voice?
Excited, she gathered her strength and pulled the door open-
"AHH!"
Wordlessly, she jumped back, and everything flooded back to her.
She didn't escape.
She didn't even come close.
