She must have been quite a sight as she sprinted across the prison; she heard shouts of exclamation as she moved past inmates at breakneck speed. She saw the entrance to the cafeteria in front of her and sped up. She was moving too fast to stop herself when she saw a large black boot stuck out in front of her. Her legs caught on the boot and she did a face plant on the hard cement floor. âOw!â She had scrapped her knees and elbows and her cheek got a taste of the floor as well. There was a chuckle amongst the crowd of women surrounding her. âThis ainât high school, little girl.â She heard one of the inmates taunt. Oh please, she wasnât that young.
âThereâs no running in the detention block.â She heard Stevensâ voice announce coldly. She saw the boot rest threateningly on her fingers and she let out a yelp of fear. The boot moved away and inwardly she let out a sigh of relief. â Final warning. Youâre lucky we need your hands. Youâre late by the way.â Stevens turned on her heel, adjusted her hat and walked away. I wouldnât have been late if you werenât such a bitch and tripped me, Emily thought to herself. Trying to quell feelings of rage, she pushed open the doors and stepped inside.
Well there goes that idea of trying to not draw attention to myself, Emily thought as ten inmates sitting at a table turned to look at her as she entered. â Pay attention!â The guard snapped. She looked to be about a six foot woman with blonde locks and emerald green eyes. Her eyes were flashing angrily; Emily was both drawn to her beauty and repelled at the same time by the pure ferocity of the woman. âAre you Palmers?â The woman snapped. Emily nodded quickly, not wanting to provoke the woman further. âYouâre late so now youâre staying an extra hour. Now sit down.â That proved more difficult than suspected as every open seat that she found was quickly taken by someone moving so that there wasnât any space for her to sit down. âPalmers! Sit. Down.â The woman said, slamming a boot down between two women, creating an instant space as the two inmates move aside quickly.
âNow then,â The guard continued after Emily had sat down, â Youâve all been assigned your tasks. Take note of our policies here.â She pointed to a sign. â When you do kitchen duty, youâre under my command, youâll do as I say. You will take no breaks until I tell you to. You may chat with one another as long as you keep working.â She said the last sentence with disgust, as if conversation with a fellow human being was beneath her. It probably is, Emily thought, she probably spends most of her time setting villages on fire and eating babies or something. As the inmates started to get up and head for the kitchen, Emily realized that she hadnât been assigned a task. âUm-â The guard turned her head sharply at Emilyâs attempt at speaking. Her eyes flashed sadistically. âPalmers, since youâre late, I have a special task for you.â
It turned out that the special task was carrying all sorts of boxes of vegetables and other foods from the loading dock into the kitchen, a gruelling and difficult task as the boxes were extremely heavy. The rest of the inmates ignored her, chatting amongst themselves as they prepared a stew (with pre-cut ingredients, it was still a prison after all), salads, a meat and meatless lasagne and a brownie dessert. Emily stomach growled as she worked, it had been at least seven hours since she had arrived on the plane, and she didnât even know how long it had been since she had eaten before that. It seemed like kitchen duty lasted forever, Emily briefly contemplated on aggravating the guard enough so that she would pummel her to death. At least then she could rest. âAlright you heathens, youâre done for the day, so get the fuck out of here. Except you Palmers, you got another hour.â The guard said.
She had been sitting down on a cushioned chair the entire time, reading some sort of magazine. Once while passing by behind her, Emily had snuck a peak at the pages and had seen nude pictures of models, their legs spread enticingly at the viewer, baring everything. Emily had the muscles beneath her stomach clench, despite the cruel nature of some of the guards they were still incredibly beautiful, and she had been in an slightly elevated aroused state since she got off the plane. Her unintentional peek at the provocative photos had not helped. She was thinking about taking care of her urges by hand after lights out and when she would be sure her roommate would be asleep when she was interrupted by the guardâs hand on her forearm. She tensed, but the guard only held up an apple. âYou dropped this.â In her daze, she hadnât even noticed the fruit falling out of the box. âThank you.â She said, putting the box down on the counter behind her and reaching for the apple, but the guard pulled back so it was just out of Emilyâs reach.
âMy name is Angel, by the way.â Emily paused and nodded,
