"Haaah… I'm hungry."
Reaching into her pouch, she pulled out simple provisions bread, a small container of milk, and some dried fruits. Nothing luxurious. Just survival rations. She ate quietly. The bread was dry but filling. The milk soothed her still-bitter throat. The dried fruits added a faint sweetness. After finishing her meal, she placed everything back into her pouch and leaned her exhausted body against the cold wall behind her. Her head tilted back she closed her eyes but rest did not come her body was tired but her mind was not.
The darkness pressed in around her…Cold…Silent…Endless.
Kei hugged her knees slightly as she leaned against the wall, her breathing finally beginning to slow. But her thoughts, they refused to quiet down.
'What will happen now…'
Her fingers curled faintly into her clothes.
'Where are we…'
The space around them felt suffocating. The shadows seemed thicker than they should be, swallowing even the faintest traces of light.
