Ariel swiftly let go of the chains on her legs and leaned against the wall with her eyes closed, pretending to sleep. Alpha Mills stole a short glance at her as he came into the room and locked the door.
He looked around the room before taking a chair and sat down, then he said to Ariel, "You can stop pretending to sleep and open your eyes now".
Ariel's eyes popped wide open on hearing her father's statement, how did he know she wasn't asleep?. The old man had real sensitive senses.
"You can keep on trying to get those chains off your legs" Alpha Mills pointed to the chains on Ariel's legs, observing she had been trying to get them off, "but let me make this clear to you. You are not escaping from this place".
Ariel stared at her grumpy old man in anger after he dropped those words, he was just here to get her pissed off and to also waste away useful time she would have used in getting those stupid chains off her legs.
