She opened her fuzzy eyes as she had a hard time moving her body. Her butt was hurt because of the hard surface where she was sitting, and her hands felt numb, as if the blood had left her hands.

"Wha—!" She instinctively moved her body, but it was stopped by something, followed by the clicking sound of metal. "!!!"
