She felt a gentle motion, her body shifting as if floating.
It was strange yet soothing, like soft caresses gliding over her skin.
The sensation was luxurious at first, the silk-like touch lulling her into a haze of comfort.
She surrendered to it, wanting nothing more than for the sensation to continue, its gentle strokes coaxing her into a daze.
But then, something shifted.
Her body tensed as unease slithered its way into her mind. She gasped, her chest rising and falling with shallow, panicked breaths.
When she opened her eyes, she was greeted with nothing but darkness.
She blinked once, twice, still, nothing. The darkness pressed down on her, suffocating, an overwhelming void that swallowed her whole.
"Hello?" Her voice trembled as she spoke into the blackness.
She tried to move her hands, but they wouldn't budge. A sharp clank echoed in the stillness, the unmistakable sound of metal against metal.
