your mind protecting itself. Not wanting to wake up and face what happened. It happens a lot with victims who have been attacked and we can never find how they do it,” he said.
“Oh my God. Six days?” I whispered.
“The police have been called as they wanted to be alerted as soon as you woke up so they could get a statement. They are here now. Are you ok with giving a statement or do you need some more time? It is sometimes best to talk straight away while your mind is fresh. We can have a counsellor come in and sit with you while your interview is conducted,” the doctor added.
“Oh no I’ll be fine thank you ,” I replied with a smile.
“If all checks out you could leave later on today or tomorrow. I will check back in later ,” he said giving a slight nod and then walking out.
A few minutes later two detectives walked into my room. Nikkee and Jason had to leave while they spoke with me.
“Can you tell us what happened?” asked the female officer.
I thought back to the hand, then the face of the guy from Huss it Out. It all rushed through my mind and I winced.
“No. I don’t, sorry. I remember a hand going around my mouth and then my head being hit on something hard. Then…nothing until an ambulance officer was talking to me,” I said lying to them. I knew I shouldn’t have, but they would send me to the looney bin if they knew what really happened.
After a few more questions they left and Nikkee and Jason came back in.
“What happened? Did you tell them everything?” Nikkee asked.
“No, I lied.”
“What! Why?” Nikkee and Jason both said at the same time.
“Because even I don’t believe what I saw and they would transfer me to the mental ward ,” I confessed.
“Tell us ,” Nikkee pressed.
I looked back and forth to them both and decided I had to tell someone and it might as well be my new family. ..
I tried to scream as the sidewalk went from view. I was dragged back at an abnormal speed. The man pushed my body against the wall pressing his hand on my mouth and his forearm across my chest. It was the same guy from inside the club that had sat at my table. I wanted to scream again as he pressed hard and I felt my ribs giving way from the pressure. He snarled at me. His eyes were brown, but at the centre was a tinge of red. My heart raced with fear. Then his hand was around my throat cutting off my air supply.
“Finally, the last descendant. I have been looking for you for a long time. Your mother would not give you up and died screaming. But you will die in silence,” he sneered.
My eyes opened in fear and fright as his words sunk deep into my soul. His hand loosened so I could speak.
“My mother didn’t want me,” I forced out.
“Your mother died protecting you. Too bad it was for nothing.”
Then his hand went back over my mouth and was followed by a stabbing pain in the left side of my stomach that brought tears to my eyes and caused my legs to give way. I didn’t fall to the ground as his other hand held me in place.
Then he was off me and I did fall to the ground. I saw a flash of bodies moving so fast that I couldn’t keep up. My eyelids slowly dropped down only to spring open again as I heard a growl then a yelp followed by a voice.
“Trinity.”
I looked up into a familiar face. It was that guy from Huss It Out!
“You’re dying.”
I gave a nod in acknowledgement. I didn’t know why I felt so calm about it.
“I will save you.”
There was a pain in my right wrist followed by a warm liquid hitting my lips making my mouth open.
“Drink ,” his voice commanded. And I did. I don’t know why I did. Survival instinct perhaps?
It tasted like blood. The pain in my stomach slowed to almost nothing. My chest and throat still ached.
“You need more to heal the rest of you. Drink. Quickly!” he said with panic. He swore and then was gone.
I told them.
“I heard you call out to me Nikkee,” I told them both.
“You’re right. We should get
