No one came for her. Adaline did not know for how long she was there in the cell and on the dusty court. She did not know how long it had been when she heard the crickets distantly. There was a slight glow, a very very light one in the dungeons and she knew that now it was the morning.
She had spent an entire night in the dungeons and no one had come for her. The realisation scared her but eventually she closed her eyes and before she knew it she had fallen asleep only to wake up in the same place.
She sniffed at the cold she never felt even though she knew that the sun was rising by this slide light appearing in the dungeon making everything visible to her more than before. There was nothing more in the room than a small pot that was empty then a metal toilet seat and the cot that she was sitting on.
