up, fully awake—two sets of strong hands grabbed her arms and two more girls grabbed her legs, tossing the sheets aside and tearing her from her bed before she knew what was happening.
    Sigrid screamed. Four girls covered Suko with a blanket, pinning her to her bunk. "Suko!" she cried out, but someone clamped a hand over her mouth. Kicking and screaming, she was dragged into the showers at the far end of the dormitory. She bit down hard on the hand covering her mouth—the girl yelped and pulled it away. Sigrid called out again, more frantically, " Suko! "
    As much as she struggled, it was no use; the girls dragged her down, sitting on her arms and her legs. Sara knelt behind her head, staring down at her with a menacing, satisfied grin. "Hold her," she said.
    Sara stuffed a small wash cloth roughly into Sigrid's mouth, then used a rag to tie a gag around her head and neck, cinching it tight. It knotted in Sigrid's hair, and she cried out a muffled scream, but Sara just laughed. "Thought I'd forgot about you, you little bitch?"
    Sigrid felt their hands reaching for her underwear and her shirt, and she screamed, terrified—just a smothered, gargled sound through the rags. She got a leg free and managed a good kick to one of the girls' faces, clawing at another, but there were too many of them and they pinned her back to the cold floor.
    Sara leaned over her, staring at her, and Sigrid felt herself flush, humiliated and scared. Her heart pounded as another girl approached with a length of rope and handed it to Sara. She tried to pull away, but the girls held her fast as Sara quickly bound her, winding the thin twine around Sigrid's wrists and ankles.
    The ropes tore at the skin on her wrists, but Sigrid didn't cry out; she knew it would just spur the girls on. Laughing at her, they dragged her into the showers and tied her to a length of pipe.
    Sigrid flinched as Sara leaned close to her. "Don't worry. We're just going to give you a little shower." Sara nodded to one of the other girls who turned the faucet full-on cold.
    The blast of icy water hit Sigrid hard, and the girls laughed with glee, watching her struggle as she pulled at the ropes, trying to free herself. Two more girls turned on the adjoining showers, directing even more water onto her, ensuring she got a good dousing. Sigrid breathed water through her nose and choked, almost gagging on the cloth stuffed into her mouth.
    "Sleep tight, bitch." Sara's hand rested on the light switch as she looked her up and down. Sigrid turned her body away from her, as if to shield herself from the girl's stare, but it only made Sara laugh. Then, with a satisfied sneer, Sara flipped off the lights, leaving Sigrid alone and shivering in the dark.
    Sigrid yanked on the ropes, but the thin twine only dug deeper into her wrists. Worse, the knots seemed to slip and bind tighter as the ropes got wet. As hard as she pulled, there was no escape. Within minutes her fingers and hands were numb and pruned—the water was so cold it hurt. She cried out and stamped her feet on the tiles, begging desperately, but of course, no one came back to free her.
    Where was Suko? She worried now what they were doing to her. If they hurt her, when she got out she was going to…to…what? Kill them? Beat them up? There were more of them and they were bigger. What could she do against all of them? Nothing . Bound, as she was, and shaking horribly from the cold, despair filled her; Sigrid couldn't hold back the tears that came, and she wept.
    She cursed herself—cursed herself for crying and for being a fool. To think she'd actually imagined the bullying was behind her. Her shoulders ached, her hands were numb and her wrists felt like they were on fire. She was freezing. Sigrid could no longer move her fingers. She strained to arch her back, stretching, to relieve her wrists, but the girls had done a thorough job. The gag in her mouth was soaked through and Sigrid choked again on the ice-cold water and her
