Chapter 186: Lady Of The Night (10)

(Outskirts of New Atlantic City)

(Castle Eden- Underground Prison Cell)

Mary slowly got up from the ground and walked towards a small rock that had been placed near the wall.

She picked up the stone and scratched another line on the wall. It was hard to keep track of time in this strange place.

The monotony of each day meant that unless she kept track… it was easy for every passing day to slip into an endless blur.

There were nine scratches on the wall which meant that little over a week had passed since she had been sold in the auction.

The little hope and optimism that had been in Mary's heart had all but vanished as she returned to the soft mattress and stared at the grey walls and ceiling.

The only source of light came from the lit torches that lined the corridor outside and the dark shadows that were cast on the ground made the atmosphere inside the cell quite creepy.
