I'm already badly beaten up and for every step down the stairs , I try just to hold in my whimpers . I will not give them that kind of satisfaction . Coming down the last step the guard drags me inside and I haye to just try to breathe through the bad stench of blood and body fluids that hits my nose the moment we come inside the building . The guard stops outside a cell and opens the door before he tosses me inside and I land on the floor , smacking my head on the hard concrete , feeling my head crack up by the impact and a warm substance , running to my cheek .
