The tight grip on my head ground my face further into the shards of pebbles and sticks. Enormous pressure piled onto my back and shoulders. Another firm mass pressed into my lower back, crushing my hips into a jagged rock.
The pressure on my ribs made it hard to take a deep breath. My small inhales turned to listless pants.
I began to kick against the force holding me to the ground. With each thrust, I screamed against the hold on my back.
I thrashed. Over and over against the bone-breaking heaviness.
“Stop,” I yelped, muted by the ground covering my mouth.
An arm encircled my legs, tightening around my ankles, biting into the exposed skin above my boots.
Male curses were muffled over my head. The voices were different. They were yelling at each other.
I reared my elbow back, bucking my hips at the same time. Trying to fight the pressure. Large insistent hands gripped my arms, tugging them low on my back. Then I felt the hard plastic cinching my wrists together, and I cried out again, louder this time. “What are you doing?”
Men. This isn’t a creature. It’s humans doing this.
I coughed and hawked dirt from the back of my throat.
Licks of desperation crept over my chest.
“What the hell are you?” a strange voice shouted into my ear.
I screamed louder, no words, just confused yells. The binds at my wrists became tighter.
A wave of blackness enveloped my vision.
A cloth cinched over my face. I bucked harder, butting my head back against the hands at my neck.
I heard a satisfactory crack of cartilage as my head made contact with something–no, with someone.
“Who are you people?” I screamed.
I twisted and fought against the hold, but I was losing strength. The power that had swelled within me moments ago was gone. Only my anger was keeping me fighting. I bent my legs, trying to strike the man at my back with my heels.
The same furious voice shouted, only muffled this time, “Do it! We have to go. Now!”
They’re going to kill me.
I pushed with all of my energy against the man’s knees at my back, but the light was gone. I couldn’t summon anything.
I kicked again and felt the sudden release of pressure, followed by the smack of flesh hitting rock.
A chorus of deep curses rang out.
Without the weight on my back, I went to my knees, pressing off my shoulder. I lunged off my knees into a stumbling jog.
I was blind.
I have to get out of here.
The dark thing over my eyes was impossible to see through. With every inhale, it suffocated me.
I strained against the hard plastic.
It wouldn’t budge.
I dipped my head and screamed, focusing all of my strength at ripping apart the binding at my wrists. I was rewarded with a small snap.
