Whisper in the Dark

Chapter 16

After an hour of brooding on the bed and punching the wall occasionally, Never's hand was coated in blood and in significant pain. But she didn't care. She had decided to get out of here, wherever here is. By this point she had been quietly wandering the long halls and large rooms of this... castle? For what felt like hours. Unable to find an exit, a map of any kind, nor even any windows. There were no clocks or anything either, she had lost all sense of time. There was also a lack of other people, this place was quiet, too quiet. But she pressed on still. Her search for a way out would persist for what may have been more than a whole day... or two... she really didn't know anymore. Her clothes were dirty, her hand was still bloody and sore. She was tired and hungry... but most of all, her heart ached. How could Viarrah betray her like this? Why? Why did this happen to her? Was Viarrah ever truely a friend? Did she mean it when she said she loved Never? Every thought swimming through her head forced her to keep going... but eventually... she couldn't continue. She stopped, her vision hazy, her mouth dry, her muscles burning. She collapsed, she felt her knees hit the ground as though they had daggers stabbed into them. She knelt there, swaying, just for a moment. Then her head hit the ground and everything went dark.
