Prena's eyes snapped open, her heart racing with a newfound sense of determination. She had had enough of being Asher's plaything, enough of being trapped in this never-ending nightmare. It was time to take back control, to fight for her freedom.
She sat up, her mind racing with possibilities. She could try to reason with Asher, appeal to whatever humanity was left in him. Or she could try to escape, to find a way out of this prison and back to the world outside.
But as she stood up, Prena felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She stumbled, catching herself on the wall just in time. She was weak, her body and mind exhausted from the ordeal she had been through.
Asher's voice echoed in her mind, his words dripping with malice. You'll never escape me, Prena. I'll always find you.
Prena's heart sank, but she refused to give up. She would find a way out, no matter what it took. She would fight for her freedom, for her life.
With a newfound sense of purpose, Prena began to search the room for anything that could help her. She looked for a key, a tool, anything that could aid her in her escape.
But as she searched, Prena couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She felt eyes on her, boring into her skin. She spun around, but there was no one there.
Asher's voice echoed in her mind once again. I'm always watching you, Prena. I'll always be there.
Prena's skin crawled, but she refused to give in to her fear. She would find a way out, no matter what it took. She would escape, and she would make sure that Asher paid for what he had done.
