Then there was silence.
Skye could feel the burning pain slither though her body. She tried her hardest not to scream. She knew Holly had heard it. The pain however, brought her back to consciousness and with that, a feeling of drowsiness. She was on a medical bed, but her arms and legs had been strapped down. She tried to scream again, but a gag was pushed into her mouth. She tried to spit it out, but she couldn't. It was just then, that she realised that the room was oddly dark. It wasn't pitched black, but the lights had been turned down to one of their lowest settings. It was oddly comforting – at least it wasn't bright white lights. Suddenly she felt someone remove the gag. The pain had stopped, so Skye didn't feel the need to scream. The someone slipped their hand into hers. She couldn't see who it was, her head had also been strapped down, but this person was trying to calm her down. "Sshh, it's ok Skye, it's ok" Said the voice. It was the voice of a girl. "Where am I?" She groaned. "I'm not allowed to tell you" The girl sounded confused. "Well, who are you?" Skye asked. The girl squeezed Skye's hand.

Skye felt scared, and she could tell that Chloe did too. "Well, do you know why I'm tied to the bed?" This time Chloe knew the answer. "When you first got here, about a day ago, you were having really bad nightmares and you were thrashing about, so one of the medical staff said you should be tied to the bed, so you don't get hurt and also so no one gets hurt. That reminds me" Chloe paused and Skye felt some of the straps loosen and she wriggled her hands, feet and her head out of them. "Thanks Chloe" Skye said sitting up. Chloe was sitting on a chair next to Skye's bed. She wasn't very old – probably about Holly's age. Her dark brown hair had been tied in two plaits that ran down her back. Skye looked around the room. It was a normal bedroom apart from the large medical bed and a cabinet to the side. Chloe tried to smile. "Skye, this is" She was swiftly interrupted. "Your room" finished a deep voice. It was Fury
