Pain was always an effective wake-up call.
Karita's eyes snapped open and she gasped, not yet conscious enough to process what was happening and scream. The brief pain instantly passed anyway, and she was left confused, her mind shrouded in fog, her breathing uneven.
"Take it slow, dear. We have nothing but time." The voice was vaguely familiar and its tone was warm, but it filled Karita's heart with fear. Still groggy, she tried to move, only to discover that she couldn't, that there was something keeping her limbs pinned to whatever she was lying on. Restraints. She was strapped down, but why? She had been with the others, sitting on the ground with her knees pulled up to her chest, leaning her head on Brin's shoulder. They were relaxing, drinking mulled white wine, and hers tasted a bit strange, but she didn't dare bring it up. It was still alright, it was warm, and she didn't really care about anything else.
And then she must have fallen asleep.
She finally managed to focus her swimmy gaze on the person standing next to her, and her blood ran cold.
