Stella

I wake up from whatever dream I was having with a jolt.  When I try to remember what my dream was about it sleeps further away from my mind. Eventually, I let the dream go. Keeping my eyes closed the whole time I let out a yawn that was desperate to be let out. I move my hands to cover my mouth as I do so but something cold and heavy restricts them from covering my mouth.

I open my eyes to see what's going on but I see nothing but pitch black. My heart stops before dropping into my stomach. I suddenly grow colder with fear. Oh no. My movements become frantic as I try to pull my wrists free from whatever is on them. I grunt with effort, biting my bottom lip as I hear the rattling of chains hitting metal above me.

Oh my unholy legions of Hell! I'm chained up! How the hell did I get chained up? Where am I? Oh my god what happened?

An image of Sage and Novah flashes through my mind, blinking like an alarm. Oh fuck please let them be okay. Please let them be safe. I beg the universe as I pull at my chains even harder causing them to become louder. I ignore the pain this causes my wrists, I'll deal with it later.

"Would you be quiet!" A groggy voice snaps from beside me and relief instantly floods me. I know Sage's voice when I hear it. And the cranky bitch next to me is she.

Oh thank the universe.

"Sage! Uh, quick question can you see anything?" I ask, curiosity and anxiousness seizing my nerves. At least I'm not alone. At least I'm not alone. At least I'm not- But at what cost?

Sage scoffs, "Of course I can- wait I can't see shite." I hear her fight against her chains and sigh in disappointment. I guess it makes sense though, who would leave us unchained? We're bloody dangerous.
In a wildly insane kind of way. Ha, we're so charming.

"Novah?" Sage calls and I hear a groan which I think was meant to be a response.

"Orrghh."

"I don't speak ogre" Sage deadpans.

"Fuck off" Novah huffs, probably rolling her eyes at Sage. I hear Novah start to fall back asleep when I hear her breathing come out heavier.

I hear a chain rattle once more before my foot collides with my left shin. I hiss in pain "ow what the fuck?"

"Oops wrong person" Sage laughs, and I hear her chains rattle again before I hear Novah gasp.

"Ow!"

The sound of both of their chains rattling non-stop got annoying real quick. I gritted my teeth in annoyance before opening my mouth.

"Will you both stop it!" I chide them like a mother would her children after they've gotten in trouble.

"Sorry mum" Sage mocks.

"Won't happen again" Novah joins in.

I roll my eyes but force a fake cough to stifle my laughter.
