Her eyes popped open, cold air flying through her nose into her lungs, pressure against her throat. Disoriented, she tried to move her body, only to find that every muscle in her body felt like...ice? Iron? Regardless, her limbs didn't respond, nor did her neck as she tried to turn her head at the sound of a voice.

Cassius. You two. Fine Gentleman. She couldn't make heads or tails of it, not with her just coming out of unconsciousness, of having little memory of how she got here beyond the gas in the car.

Stupid. She was so stupid. Fear spiked through her. Where was her father? Where was Caroline?

Her eyes stung as she tried not to cry, terror preventing them from forming in the first place. Her heart raced in her chest as her mind desperately tried to process what she should do, only to realize there was literally nothing she could do, not with her body frozen like this.

Her eyes slid left and then right, trying to catch sight of literally anything in her peripheral.
