Chapter 51 - Prison

The terror of his words rang through her. The thought of being locked up here alone dirty cold and starving with only a little bread and water to keep her going. Or worse she had heard of some thieves having a hand removed as a punishment. Crying even harder thinking how bad her life would be having only one hand no one would ever want her around she would be cast out into the streets with nothing. She had never heard of anyone being killed over stealing anything. Katie couldn't do anything but cry she lay there curled up on the straw it was itchy and stabby but better than laying on the bare stone.
