No Joke

"Ohh..." was the first thing Jenny said as she drifted into conciousness.  For a few minutes she just lay where she was, too sore to move.  Then the events of the past few days came rushing back to her and she jerked upright, only to fall back again with a yelp.  She lay there for a few more minutes before she realized her hands were cuffed behind her back.  What did they want with her? she wondered.  It was hard to belive this nightmare had begun less than a week before.  Had it been only four days since her biggest worries were her moms new boyfriend or her math test the next day?  It seemed like a lifetime ago.
