Chapter 6: Taking a long shower can be exhausting (Part 3)

FRANCESCA'S POINT OF VIEW:

"No! Just leave me alone!" The water had turned off a while ago, but with the water element; I was able to keep the water going longer.

Even if it was draining me. Whether good or a bad thing, I had to make it seem like I was taking a very long shower. But to tell you the truth, I felt all pruny and my skin was getting wrinkly. Also it didn't help that my ankle was swollen to the size of Texas!

"Francesca, please."

Biting my lower lip, I wiped the water from my eyes. "Just leave me alone."

"Fine. But, I'm not leaving until you come out and unlock the door." He said in a deep voice.

I leaned my head against the wall. It was too smoky to see, because I hadn't turned the switch on for the fan. I sighed heavily; this was seriously getting me nowhere. I had to get up and get out of here, but how could I? I couldn't even lift my leg up! That's how bad it must've been. I shook my head and listened to the water drum on the bottom of the bathtub.
