Katherine: Narrative 5

I had to have blacked out for a period, I awake to the sound of church bells chiming.  I am no longer being pulled around by Sophie but am laying down staring up at a ceiling.  The ceiling seems to stretch on forever into its dark wooden archways.  Panic hits inside my chest making it difficult to breathe.  Can I break free from Sophie on my own or will I need help?  Eva needed help and she seems so much stronger than I am.  Can they find me?  They found Eva by her communicator; I do not have one of those. 

I struggle against my bindings but I can’t turn my head either way or move my arms or legs, all I can see is the ceiling.  I can feel the pain of needles stuck into my arms, into my neck, can feel something taped to places on my scalp.  I swallow back the bile that forces its way to the back of my mouth as tears begin to sweep back on my face.  Not only am I captured, I’m hooked up to who-only-knows what. 

Chaud.  Thalia.  Ravager.  They left me alone to be captured.  Do they supply this Sophie with people to do whatever on?  Are they human traffickers for this Sophie?  Just finding people wherever they might, take them into their group, and allow Sophie to run off with them?  I cannot believe that I was so stupid to just blindly go about with them, especially after seeing them react without a care to Sophie taking two other people from them.  I was an idiot to have continued staying anywhere near those people. 

Suddenly, I begin to hear the church bells again when unexpectedly pain begins to fill my body from my head, arms, and neck.  I do not know this energy, it flows through me.  No, flowing is not right.  It is almost like this energy is cycling through me, entering through these terminal points on my body, and then releasing back into the equipment.  I cannot sense anything of my surroundings anymore; no sight, sound, taste, smell, or touch only this energy.  The pain is intense, has to be near some of the worse that I have ever felt but I keep channeling the energy around and around again, determined not to hold it within me.
