章 6: Safety and comfort in those you trust.

Your eyes slowly fluttered open, you recognized this room, Doc's bedroom. You tried to sit up but you couldn't move your arms or your legs for that matter. You turned your head to look at your arm, although your vision was still a bit blurry you could see that it was now wrapped up in bandages and your wrist was tied to the bedpost. "Oh, my darling you are finally awake." Doc's voice. You frantically looked around trying to find him. He suddenly was on top of you, you opened your mouth to scream but nothing came out. "There is no need to speak my darling." Doc cooed caressing your face. You attempted to move again but the feeling of something sharp and cold against your side stopped you from doing so. "No more running from me Y/n. Now I can keep you here with me forever." Doc ran the knife along your stomach. Your eyes widened as you felt a sharp pain in your stomach, you wanted to scream but again nothing came out. Doc laughed sadistically above you as he cut you open. Suddenly everything warped and you were sitting up in a hospital bed, screaming your heart out. A nurse rushed into the room. "Miss are you alright?" She asks, concerned. You stare at the sheets panting and sweating, you shakily look at the nurse. "Do you need anything miss?" You just stare at her. "Miss I need you to speak to me, what is wrong?" She askes. You open your mouth but then you close it shaking your head slowly. "Are you sure?" She asks. "Yes…" Your voice was in a hushed tone. "Just pull that cord right there if you do." The nurse points to a thin white string with a small white ball attached to it that is hanging on the wall. You nod and continue to stare at the sheets. The nurse leaves. Slowly you slip from under the sheets and walk to the window, it was raining, dark clouds covered the sun and heavy rain hit the window and the ground below. You looked down at your arm it was wrapped up, it was no longer bleeding but it still hurt a bit. The door opens and someone walks in or from what you could tell two people walked in. "Y/n?" It was Henry. You quickly turned around to see Henry and Salem. Salem wasn't smiling instead he was frowning and Henry was frowning as well. "Henry!" You felt tears form in the corners of your eyes. Henry walks over and hugs you, Salem does the same as you begin to weep. You cried for a good five minutes before you calmed down. "Did you get it all out?" Henry asks. "Mhm…" You grip Henry's shirt. "You promised me that you wouldn't harm yourself like this again." Henry lets go of you and looks at you with disappointment. "I know I know but Doc was acting so strange and I couldn't help it.." You stared at your feet. You feel a hand on your shoulder. "Doc was acting strange?" Salem asks. "Mhm.." You nod. "I think you should stay at my place for a while just to give Doc some space." Henry puts his hand on your other shoulder. "You're right...it'll be better for me to stay away from him for a while." You weakly smile at Henry then Salem, feeling comfort in their presence.
