Charlotte was huddled up in the corner of the room, hugging her legs and refusing to look at the room, instead keeping her head lowered. She had been having nightmares again. Nightmares she couldn't escape even if she had escaped the original place.
She had rolled around on the floor, images of those days so long ago flashing behind her eyelids, and she had begged herself to wake up. She had regretted opening her eyes though, as the nightmare had all but disappeared. It had only grown more vivid... and real. There was no waking up from this, she had realized that soon enough, there was nothing she could do.
The piercing scream that had escaped her lips was still ringing in her ears. Strangely it had not waken up her roommate, but Charlotte guessed it was because she had been drugged more than Charlotte had been. In either case, she didn't care. She couldn't speak to anyone, didn't even want to see anyone. All she could do now was cry, the tears running down her cheeks quietly. She had lost the ability to speak, and after the scream everything around her, including her, had seemed deadly quiet.
