She didn’t fear being turned in, talking about escaping wouldn’t kill her, instead they would just beat her within an inch of her life. She could survive that though. Erika nodded to Alena and pulled the water back to her so that she could start again. She was allowed 3 minutes for each girl, but even then that was only 20 girls an hour and there were about 100 girls in this work house. She would be late for dinner.

As Erika finally made it to dinner she sat down, eyes closed as dinner was placed in front of her. She had to eat but her mind was so tired, she barely had the energy to reach up and grab her spoon to eat the slop they called food. She carefully began to eat it. Her mind was so sapped from this work but subconsciously she still looked around for Alena. It would be nice to have someone to listen to, something to focus her mind back on to feel like she wasn't drowning in her own thoughts.
