Returning to a conscious state proved to be a very gradual process. Emma was returning from a very dark place. Her brain functioning was reduced to a submerged level. Her cognitive awareness was  numb,  minimising her capable of perceiving and sensing fully. Her initial feeling was as if she was drowning. There was no light at the end of any tunnel. It was surrounded by bleakness. Her head was swimming then aching. The new model wanted to wake up but something was stopping her as though a fuse was keep cutting out. It was probably a defensive mechanism suggesting that it was futile and not worth going there.<br/><br/>It wasn't just the migraine shooting through her skill but the huge problem which the teenager had in breathing. It only slowly dawned on her that she was gagged. Likewise the blackout proved not to be just a nightmare but because she was blindfolded. Her lack of mobility was also due to having her to having her ankles shackled and her wrists handcuffed. Worst of all was the confusion going through Emma's mind. She had been so happy and excited about her new job but her mood had been turned 180 degrees. She was  depressed and in despair . She really had no idea what had happened to her only that maybe she had been kidnapped somehow.
