Description
Elizabeth POV:
Just like that only six months left, I thought while marking another day off from my calendar, at the end of the 6th day of the week. At least tomorrow is rest day I am completely exhausted.
During the past half a year I had dedicated to work on my artificing to improve my skills, all the inspectors that they brought to evaluate that the work inmates did was up to standards told me that I had the knack for artificing and that I should pursue it as a career, which I was strongly considering.
According to them if I wanted to develop the best skills, I needed to go to a 3 year technical institute where they will start from the foundations up.
The inspectors told me that my skills were already at the level of an intermediate if not an advance student, but the certification was going to be important if I wanted to find a decent job and work under a meister artificer which was the way to get my journeyman artificer license allowing me to open a shop of my own eventually. They don't think anyone will hire an ex-convict that got their skills just through prison work alone, which added a kink to my plans, since I basically had no money the moment I left here. As the date of my release got closer, I started making these plans in my head and it brought me hope about the future, these were my thoughts as I was dozing off into sleep.
Bang, Bang, Bang... I heard the loud bang of my cell door
What's going on? I asked loudly enough for them to hear me.
Hands on the wall inmate, random cell search.
During my imprisonment this had happened at least three times and this would be the fourth time, but it usually happened during the week. Not like I have much to hide here I only have a toilet, sink and my bed.
Sigh…. Better listen to them so that I can go to sleep fast.
Ready, I shouted, after facing the wall and putting my hands up.
Then two guards that I was not familiar with entered the cell.
Keep your arms up there, do you have anything to hide?
No, I don't, feel free to look at my many worldly possessions.
Rick do your thing, I will watch her.
I had given up on any ounce of privacy since the moment I was imprisoned and the first cavity search in the detainment center, but it did not stop of being annoying whenever they threw in your face the lack of power that you had, just the random inspections in the hallways when they stop to frisk you were humiliating enough.
As I was looking at the wall I saw through the corner of my eye that they were rummaging through every inch of my cell.
Ron, come and take a look here a moment, the guard searching my room said.
That gave me a pause, I did not dare to move since they could be really quick with those batons in their hips.
I tried turning my head around, but I quickly heard. Do not move inmate.
I slightly saw that they were ripping my mattress apart.
Yeah, that's Ash alright, and quite a bit of it. I was wondering where the latest batch was coming from, wonder how she got it here.
Ash!!!! Why would I have that garbage in my cell I shouted, I don't do that trash.
Inmate I warn you to be quiet, you are in a world of trouble right now.
Then he pressed his body against mine, frisking every inch of my body, like if I could hide anything under my boobs where he spent an excessive amount of time. Then he lowered my arms behind my back and attached a pair of heavy arcanium manacles, these were not the transport handcuffs that they typically used, that have a slight suppressing effect on my abilities, but something more similar to what they use in the punishment cells that can start causing symptoms pretty soon if they are not taken off within the hour. The manacles felt hard and cold against my wrist they were also heavy and were starting to chaff the skin around my wrists.
What in the fiends damnation is going on? I tried asking
You will learn that later on, now move you have a visit with the warden on your schedule.
