She was lying on her side, facing a wall. Jessica had been awake for nearly an hour but hadn't moved a muscle. The reason behind her stillness and her carefully controlled breathing, other than the fact she was used to dark spaces, was because she could hear another person in the room breathing as if they were in a deep sleep. As soon as the breathing changed pace and she heard the tiniest bit of movement behind her, she made an extra effort to quiet her own breath.
An audible growl sounded within the room. Oh, wow, that sounded nasty. Whatever was behind her, was it even human? Could it smell her out in the semidarkness? She stayed still, hoping that a bit of dust wouldn't make her sneeze. Who knows, maybe it smelled fear.
