Faint voices gradually awoke Zahra's consciousness, bringing her out of her forced deep sleep.

She trembled, fear gripping her as she found herself in the complete darkness, devoid of even a faint glimmer from a lamp or window.

"I should get up and call a maid to turn on the lights," Zahra mumbled.
