I felt sick as we flew above the world, both from the dart, and from worry. The sounds and smells and feelings at the facility were already zooming back into my head and heart. It was weakening. I looked to Luchini, giving her a half-hearted, and hopeful smile, then to Ru. We were cuffed, but if we weren't, I would've reached for his hand. I needed reassurance of any kind.
The guards seemed very pleased with themselves, they sat talking softly amongst themselves about the raise this would merit them, snickering. They would look back every now and again, just to make sure we were all still confined.
"Are you guys okay?" I questioned quietly.
"No talking!" bellowed one of the guards, nudging me with the butt of his rifle.
"You're taking us prisoner, I should be allowed to have words with my fellow inmates," I grumbled, glaring at them.
