Dahlia Strife

"How did I end up here?" I sighed as I stared at the concrete ceiling in a dimly lit and cramped jail cell. The smell of sewage wafted through the small gated window at the top of the room. I wanted to cry, but I was too angry.
I heard a steady-paced guard approach the cell doors, I sat up on the wooden platform and took a couple steps forward to the door. I saw the uniformed man holding his lantern up to each cell as he passed by checking on the prisoners.
As he approached my door I grabbed the bars and proceeded to press my face gently against them, "Why am I here?" I demanded.
He tried to ignore me but I persisted, "Answer me!"
He turned towards me and smirked, "Why is a pretty little thing like you in here? Shouldn't I be asking you that, Dahlia Strife? Stop playing dumb and go to bed, I have a special surprise for you tomorrow morning." His laugh was snotty and filled me with a sense of dread.
I bit my tongue and squeezed the iron bars and went and sat back down on the wooden platform... what should I do? I thought as I scrapped my hands through my black hair.
