Chapter 46

It was almost three hours before Sarah finally arrived. Hailey was in and out of consciousness for most of the time. She spoke only a few words here and there, but none of them made any sense.

The cell Hailey was in was made for Asuune. It had six inch thick bars, the floor and ceiling also looked like they were made of thick steel. The metal of the ceiling was topped with a large slab of cement that went down around the back side. It also looked like the bars in back were halfway inside the cement wall. This was a formidable prison, Kathrine doubted anyone could get out of there, maybe Sarah, but then again maybe not even her.

"First step," Sarah announced as she brought a glass of a sick smelling liquid to the woman.

"What is that?!" Kathrine exclaimed. To her surprise, no one had even winced at the smell but her.

"It's human blood mixed with cow's blood," Agnus replied.

"Human blood? Man, it smells like sewage." Kathrine held her nose.
