Belle’s POV
That night I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t sleep. How could I? Bethany was right; the tanks and machines down here make a lot of noise at night. However, I’m not sure if sleeping under the table helps. But I do know that I was right about one thing: mats are uncomfortable. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to sleep…
Why can’t I fall asleep? I’m really tired! I should be able to fall asleep. I bet it’s midnight. I’ve never ever stayed up past midnight and I really don’t like it.
I just want to sleep! Yesterday I wanted food. I got food. Now I want to sleep. So why can’t I sleep? Maybe If I-ummm count sheep? Sure. People on TV do it all the time. It works for them….
One sheep. Two sheep. Three sheep. Four Sheep. Five sheep. Six sheep. Seven sheep. Eight sheep. This is soo boring! This isn’t working!
(lifts wrist and stares at the chain in frustration)
I wish I could take this off! I hate it! I don’t want to be chained! I’m not a dog! I’m a person….
And people shouldn’t be sold! It’s so wrong and it doesn’t even make any sense. How can someone buy a person? I mean you don’t buy people at a market…do you? Is that where mommy and daddy got me? Is that where babies come from? Wait…so it’s okay to sell people. But wait…where do the markets get the babies from? What? I’m so confused…What was I talking about?
Oh I don’t know I just want to sleep!!! Ughhh why can’t I stop thinking! I hate thinking! It should be illegal!
(10 seconds later)
I am so tired. I just wish I could fall asleep. I just want to-want to fall asleep. Falling asleep is fun. SO much…fun…I like fun…fun…yay…………..
After 3 hours of constant restlessness, sleep finally overtakes my sore, aching body.
But this time, my sub consciousness fails to conjure up any dreams for me to endure. Why? There’s nothing to dream about. There’s nothing I would want to dream about. My old memories no longer mean anything. This is my life now and I need to accept that.
