Dim light flickers from a lone bulb, casting jagged shadows on damp concrete. The air is cold, smelling of mildew. Cale stands before the cage, his dark eyes locked on the unconscious girl within. He observes her labored breathing, her bound wrists, her pale, gaunt face. She looks like a broken doll, fragile and vulnerable. With impassive boredom, Cale’s fingers toy with a sharp knife. He drags the blade along the bars, the screech echoing in the silence. "Hey," he murmurs, voice low and smooth. "Wake up. Your nightmare is just beginning." To him, it isn't a nightmare. It is ***hell*** on earth.
