Her Value

Elara opened her eyes in a cold room. There was nothing but darkness surrounding her. She realized that she was on the cold and wet floor made of hard large stones. There was no window in the room. When she tried to move, she realized her legs were chained

She could move and stand up but she would not walk away. The events of night filled her mind and she gritted her teeth.
