Eve's eyes fluttered open, the woman sharply inhaling a breath as she woke up.

It took her a few seconds to fully register her surroundings, Eve's eyebrows furrowing in confusion as she frantically glanced around the small room she was in, her eyes darting around the space quickly.

She was strapped to a steel table, her ankles and wrists tied down to the sides, and a thick leather strap tightened around her forehead, preventing her from moving her head.

Eve felt her claustrophobia start to kick in, the woman's palms and forehead starting to sweat, her mouth going dry as her heartbeat quickened in anxiety.

She frowned as her eyes flickered to an electro-shock therapy machine placed next to her, Sister Jude and two orderlies standing by it.

Eve's heart dropped in trepidation at the knowledge of what was about to happen to her.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Eve started as she felt her cheeks heat up, the woman feeling her heart start to race in immense fear.

Ignoring her question, one of the guards walked over to her and took the thick strap off, Eve slightly raising her head instinctively, the other guard then grabbing her forehead and holding it down firmly, the back of Eve's head slamming against the table at the action, the woman wincing in pain.

The first guard then put an earmuff-looking device around her head, Eve widening her eyes, as she knew what the device was for.

Before Eve could scream for help, the second guard quickly grabbed a gag from the side table and roughly shoved it in her mouth, Eve choking at the action, her eyes tearing up involuntarily.

"Did you, or did you not kill your boyfriend and your dog last year?" Sister Jude questioned belligerently, Eve shaking her head quickly and mumbling something incoherent, her words muffled due to the gag in her mouth, tears now freely slipping from her eyes.

"Just give her one volt for now." Sister Jude turned to the first guard as Eve's eyes went wide, the woman beginning to sob as she tried pleading in desperation, her voice still indistinct, Sister Jude glaring at the younger woman at the action.

"Stop your whinin', Miss Brooks, unless you want two." Sister Jude spat, Eve sobbing louder at the words.

"Oh for Heaven's sake, just do it already." Sister Jude scoffed as she glanced at the guard, the man nodding as he flipped a switch.
