No matter how broken her body was, the machinations of her mind ground to life around numbers. The last time someone had held her captive. She drew her shoulders in, only to be arrested by the restraints strapped across her entire body.Īrianna snapped her eyes shut and used the darkness to drop a curtain on the memory of the last time she was so confined. Refocusing, she tilted her head forward off the cold metal.
Arianna could only muster the strength to move so much of her body at one time.
It seems I have a Rivet right here who could perform the fix.” Arianna’s eyes followed the lead lines to the corner where one usually found such imperfections and sure enough. A skeleton of piping ran across the ceiling. Hazy orbs formed into the cold glow of electric lighting, two sconces illuminating the weeping condensation that poured down the wall she faced. The room came into focus slowly, very, very slowly. The aforementioned tool slid across the ground with all the cacophony of an industrial machine gone awry, and came to a stop at her toes. “If a Rivet doesn’t fix that soon, the wrench will touch their temple before it touches the pipe.” Using her voice-what there was of it-was enough to make her head feel as though it was splitting open.Ī loud clang shot between her ears as metal met cement. Her fingers twitched and the joints popped softly. She was in tatters from head to toe, her mental state no better. There was not a section of muscle tissue that didn’t protest in fiery agony at her insistence on movement. The sound brought her body back to life from what felt like death itself. Some kind of coupling or welding had come loose.Īrianna groaned softly.
