The light was way too intense!

Eva couldn't move her arms enough to block it, but she turned her head away, eyes shut. Even so, she could see red through her eyelids. She should have just provoked the warden to kill her!

Ever since that monster had shown Eva the interrogation of another Gifted, she had kept her locked in this pitifully small cell. It was totally inhumane - she was going to have a breakdown if they held her like this for much longer! But she told herself should have expected no better. The DMA viewed the Gifted as slaves at best. And, now, she was all alone, her weak limbs held up by the metal surrounding her. Were they really going to make her sleep like this? There was no way she'd be able to...

She hated to think of herself as a damsel in distress, but if there was ever a time she needed someone to be her hero, it was right then.
