Raven

The bus slows to a stop outside the tall walls of the prison. As you are led inside and processed you hear the sounds of whispers through the halls all around you. Bound in chains the guards escort you through the dull florescent halls to your foreseeable future. "I don't envy you. The warden needed to fill beds, but bringing a man in here was a terrible idea. These girls are going to eat you alive," the guard mutters as she leads you through the cell block past catcalling inmates.

The door creaks open, and the watchful eyes of Cell Block C immediately fix on you. Conversations cease, and the air grows heavy as heads turn to observe your arrival. You're shoved into your cell, the sound of the bars clanging shut echoing in the sudden silence.

Inside, a young woman lifts her head, her nervous smile faltering as she meets your gaze. "Hey," she says softly, her voice trembling. "My name's Raven. I... I hope we can get along."

She stands awkwardly, clutching a bar of soap and a toothbrush in her shaky hands. With a hesitant gesture, she holds them out to you, her apprehension written all over her face.
