章 57: More serious
Noah said, "So you are telling me that...you went to the council all alone.
You searched for the key, killed a judge, and found that the key was taken?"
Lisa and a Dazzle nodded. Noah shook his head and said, "Now...what do we do?"
Dazzle said, "Maybe we have to keep this aside and look after Monica."
KL scoffed and said, "We did that. But someone was more curious and went on a mission."
Dazzle and Lisa hung their heads down in guilt. Dazzle mumbled, "Sorry."
Noah sighed and patted her back.
Lisa said, "God. We are clueless." Dazzle ignored Lisa's statement and asked, "How is Monica's condition?"
Lisa said, "Doctor said it may take time to discharge her, two days is not for sure."
Dazzle slowly hit the nearby table sadly and walked away.
Dazzle was walking alone at the backside of the hospital. It was deserted and lonely. Dazzle looked around. She said, "It is cold."
Dazzle removed her thick jacket and tied it on her waist. She let the cold wind hit her shoulders.
Dazzle started to smile eventually forgetting her pain and hurts. Dazzle was having a good time with nature until she heard a twig break.
She paused on her track and looked around. Dazzle didn't find anyone. She said, "I guess animals are roaming around."
Dazzle continued walking but she felt constant twig break. Dazzle had a feeling someone was following her.
She paused and smiled. She took out her mirror and checked herself. But Dazzle used the mirror to see what was behind her.
Once she saw a figure behind her, she turned around. Dazzle asked in a brave tone, "Hello... What do you want?"
"You", a soft but clear voice said. Dazzle's eye widened when she heard that voice.
Dazzle looked at the figure and walked forwards.
Dazzle said, "David?? No no...I am dreaming. Not again. Please leave. Stop."
Dazzle held her head and tried to calm herself down.
Dazzle heard the voice tell, "Look Dazzle...I never thought this will happen. You consider truth as magic and magic as truth."
Dazzle started to feel dizzy and cold. She looked at the figure in front of her and fell on his arms.
The person said, "I want to take you with me right now. But not now.
I should control my urge." The person carried Dazzle in his shoulder and dropped her near her hospital residence room.
Dazzle woke up feeling dry. Her voice was dry, her eye was heavy. Dazzle asked on a coarse voice, "What happened?"
Lisa said sadly but mad, "You fainted in cold. Why did you go there alone?"
Dazzle drank some water and said, "I wanted to talk to nature. It calmed me down."
Lisa sighed. Dazzle asked, "Did you see the person who carried me here?"
Noah asked, "A person carried you in? I thought You fainted at the doorsteps."
Dazzle said, "Noah, Can you please check the camera here to find the person."
Noah went to check the camera and came back.
Dazzle asked, "What did you see?" Noah said, "That person hid their face very accurately in all the cameras."
Dazzle thought, "As expected."
Lisa asked, "Why would he hide his face?" Noah shrugged and said, "A bit suspicious."
Before Dazzle could explain, a nurse rushed in and called them. The nurse said, "FAST. PLEASE. TO YOUR FRIENDS ROOM."
Dazzle and the others rushed to the emergency ward. They were welcomed by the sight of Monica struggling to breathe.
Dazzle held Monica's hand and encouraged to her breathe but Monica shouted and said, "He is back. Not dead. Beware..."
Monica shut her eye immediately and became quiet.
Everyone was confused but Dazzle was thinking, "If I was hallucinating...who carried me back to the room?
Is Monica talking about...? No way."
Dazzle looked at Monica worried. Dazzle was looking down and saw something familiar.
It was a syringe. Dazzle took it and notice that the liquid inside was the same liquid David used on her while kidnapping.
Dazzle said to herself, "Time to use the mind-reading stone."
Dazzle rushed to her hospital room with Lisa and explained her everything. Lisa said, "We must tell others."
Without hesitation, Dazzle said Noah and KL about the syringe and what happened at the hospital's backyard.
Noah said, "I was sure I killed him...or he must have used some tricks."
Dazzle said, "I cannot believe it because we found a key regarding David."
Lisa said, "Wait, that makes more sense. Remember...in Dazzle's dream Liam said that the victim may or may not be dead."
Dazzle smiled and said, "Yes..."
Dazzle was glad to have the thought of David being alive but she was also scared.
Dazzle knew that if David is alive, he may kill her.
Next day, Dazzle was waiting to talk to the doctor regarding Monica's condition.
The doctor said, "Her condition is worsening, to be honest. She just has a minor problem in her reports but her movements are concerning.
We gave her all the necessary medicines. We compared her progress with another man who has the same problem has her.
The man was worse than her but slowly he started to feel better but Monica is not improving and her movements show something very serious."
Dazzle lost her patience and shouted, "What do you mean?
Didn't you study?
Why can't you find the problem?
You seriously want to die?"
The doctor said, "I am trying my best. If you can't accept reality, please leave."
Dazzle got up from the chair and took her gun out.
The doctor looked at her gulping. Dazzle shot at the nearby fish tank and a clock.
Dazzle glared at the doctor and said, "Mind your words."
Dazzle left the doctor's office filled with anger.
She wanted to shoot all the visible things but she stopped once she realised her gunshot may kill a heart patient.
She kept the gun inside her pocket and left the hospital. Lisa was worried and followed her.
Lisa saw Dazzle sitting in a corner of a bus station crying silently.
Lisa's heart broke at the sight of it. She realised something was wrong and walked to Dazzle slowly.
