Emilie & the Hollow World (2013)
“She sagged limply and tried to breathe through the rough material.
“She's out,” one of them said, his voice muffled by the blood pounding in her ears, and the other grunted an acknowledgment.
They thought she had fainted. That...isn't a bad idea, Emilie thought. She would rather like to faint and not experience this, but as a long term solution it was impractical at best. Solution, think of a solution. They hadn't strangled her or drowned her immediately, and they seemed to be taking he...r somewhere in a very purposeful way. She could try to question them about where they were going, or keep pretending to be unconscious. The pretend-unconsciousness seemed to offer the best chance of escape; if they put her down to rest, she might be able to wriggle away before they noticed. She admitted that that was probably not likely, but at least it gave her something to think about besides being strangled or drowned or shot.
They carried Emilie for some distance, hauling her like a sack of potatoes.MoreLess
