Unpleasant.

September 9th, Wednesday

5:29 P.M.

An unusual setting for the atmosphere displayed itself presently. Alycia anxiously tapped her foot against the marble floor. Biting away at her manicured nails, her thoughts had fully consumed her. She was triggered by the current daunting silence. It took her back to a trauma she still battled to fight.

Vera and Rachel sat close in range but were nowhere as terrified as her. Unlike them she knew the extents of Ashton's force. Luckily, nothing harrowing had occured so far. After being taken captive they were accompanied to a fully black customized van. the windows of the vehicle were not transparent both from the inside and out. It was only that of the driver.

They drove in circles for hours without brake. This was one of Ashton's tactics to amplify the tension of their nerves. The long drive was concluded in silence which, was the ongoing theme.
