*Long Chapter*
**Warning - This chapter contains foul language.**
A cold breeze woke her up, causing her to inhale sharply.
Not recognizing her surroundings, she looked around in panic. The ceiling was covered in what appeared to be metal boards. Hanging from it, sharp fluorescent lights sparked in a constant flicker. She shut her eyes hard and tight from the pain the brightness of the light caused her.
After having waited a second or two, she opened her eyes into a squint but closed them again to spare her sensitive eyes from the pain.
Instead of looking around, she tried to move but got no where. Jerking her arms, she tried to move again, fearing she was restrained. It proved to be the case. An instant hue of cold sweat spread across her entire body. She was strapped down to a table, or some sort of metal gurney. All she could tell was that it was freezing cold and hard.
"What the-?" She gasped airily.
In an attempt to move her head, she realized that even this part of her was practically immobile. Tight restraints covered the entirety of her body and pressed into her skin. There was one across her forehead as well. Quickly, she sensed the other straps fixing her body to where it was; one strap across her breasts, three for each arm, one over her stomach and at least three for each leg as well.
The straps were so tightly fastened it almost felt as they were cutting into her soft flesh. From what she could sense that was, since she could only move her head slightly to the sides but not lift it an inch. Rendering her unable to actually see herself.
The only part of her that could move freely, were her eyes.
Another cold breeze swept across her naked body, spreading goosebumps all over it. Every inch of her shivered with it. The hue of sweat intensifying the coldness of the air traveling over her.
I am naked. She tensed up in fear and felt panic truly come to life within her. I'm naked and tied down?! Where the fuck am I?! How did I get here?
"Why the fuck am I naked?!" She gasped to herself.
After a quick ransack of her thoughts, she came up with nothing. No memories or clues to tie to the circumstances she had woken up to. She had no idea of how she had ended up on that gurney. Worse yet, she couldn't remember a bloody thing before that!
Overcome with panic, she tried to scream but no sound came out. Only intense and sharp breaths left her. Her face twisted into a grimace of frustration. She tried again but got the same result as before. Her throat felt sore. Like she had screamed her vocal cords into this useless and aching state. But she had no memory of screaming her lungs out. Either way, she couldn't make a sound.
Okay, deep breath in. She inhaled slowly through her nose in an attempt to keep the panic under control. Still she was shivering through it all. Failing already. Wha- WHAT IS HAPPENING?! She let out a mental cry in her head. A sniffle tore itself out between her lips, her bottom lip quivering at the end.
The panic spread through her despite her efforts to suppress it, gaining ground with each short rapid breath she took. It was starting to race off now, impossible to stay on top of.
Okay. No. Freaking out will not solve anything. She soothed herself while exhaling through her pursed lips. Okay... Deep breath out. Deep breath in. She followed her own instruction and then deliberately let the panic take over when she became overcome by it. And... Scream. Scream! SCREAM GOD DAMMIT!
The air exploded out of her, but no sound passed her lips. She tried screaming again, but nothing came this time either. Frustrated beyond comprehension, she started jerking all of her limbs violently. Whimpering without sound as panic threatened to choke her. Moving didn't do much, her constraints were too tightly bound.
