Catherine shifting beside me woke me up. I blinked my eyes repeatedly to get rid of the sleep, realizing that I had also fallen asleep somehow.
Still, it remained dark in the prison cell. So, we were still unable to tell the amount of time we had passed while sleeping.
My sister moved away from me, crawling towards the wall, and putting her back against it as she sat down. I did the same, taking the space beside her.
"How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?" She looked like she was no longer sleepy, so I was able to ask her that question.
"No." She answered in a voice that indicated she had woken up from a deep sleep. "Are you?"
I smiled through my pain. "No."
Carefully framing my question, I asked her, "they hit me on the back of my head to bring me here. What did they do here?"
She blinked her eyes and scrunched her nose. "They made me smile. It gave me a headache which is why I think I fell asleep for so long."
