Chapter Three370Please respect copyright.PENANAJyio7Hiad5
I froze, honestly not believing that the power went out.
Was the hospital really so cheap they didn't pay the electric bill?
Sighing, in discomfort from the dark shadows that covered the room, I picked up the remote with shaky fingers and tried to turn on the t.v. to no avail.
I dropped the remote, and breathed in slowly trying hard not to panic.
Maybe it was just a power outage. Yeah, just a power outage Charlotte, nothing to worry about.
But then when my breaths slowed and a dull silence descended upon the room, the familiar sound of a light tapping from a keyboard reached my ears and I could hear the quiet feedback of other TVs coming from the hospital rooms across the hall, confirming my suspicions.
There was no power outage.
I jumped out of the bed so fast I made myself dizzy.
I practically sprinted to the door in my rush to get out of the room to ask someone what was going on, and I barely stopped myself from running into the wall when I grabbed the door knob and pulled it down, only it didn't open.
It was locked.
Fear bubbled over inside of me, and I kicked the door in frustration.
"Hello!" I called out. "Can anybody hear me?"
No answer.
I was bordering on a full freak out now as I ran a hand through my hair and I slid down the door in hysteria.
I was trapped in a locked hospital room with no electricity and sound proof walls.
"Great." I say aloud. "Just great."
"What's great dear?"
Every muscle in my body locked up and slowly, ever so slowly, I lifted my eyes and prayed to God that what I saw would be an illusion.
It wasn't.
The nurse smiled at me, and I mean a full blown smile with gums and all, rows of rotten yellow molars sharpened to a point beamed at me.
"T-the p-power went out and t-the door is locked, but you can unlock it r-right?" I stuttered.
The nurse said nothing, if anything it seemed like her smile just got bigger if that was even possible.
Just then a thought occurred to me.
How did she get in here?
"How--"
I was cut off by a loud battle cry and suddenly I was airborne.
My small body flew through the air like a rag doll and into a wall with a crash, the wind being knocked out of me.
Starburst exploded in my eyes and I tried hard to focus my gaze whilst I drew in deep breaths, my throat scratched up as I heaved in and out.
Footsteps crunched beside me and a blurry gray eyes came into view familiarity striking me once again as her lips pulled up into a bitter smile and she loomed before me in a 'holier than thou' sort of way. "Gods, I haven't tasted one of your kind in ages." Her bitter smile turned into one genuity.
I stared up at her in confusion, having no idea what she was talking about.
"GET UP!" She commanded suddenly.
When I didn't move she kicked me in my stomach and I screamed out, excruciating and unbearable pain exploding in my ribcage.
She made a move to kick me again while I layed there helpless and whimpering, but then paused and her gaze became once more disgusted.
"Ugh, you can't even hold yourself upright." She stalked around me in a circle, surveying me, her gray eyes gleaming. "Pathetic." She spat out. "Completely and utterly pathetic."
The nurse nudged me with her foot slightly, as if she didn't know exactly what type of creature I was, cleary the woman had no knowledge of what she looked like.
She sighed and crouched down in front of me, caressing my face in an almost tender way.
When I flinched away from her, she grabbed me by my chin and pouted mockingly.
"Aw," She cooed.
Suddenly her face transformed.
Her eyes turned black and her sharpened teeth grew larger, snapping at me in a taunt.
And then she smiled at me, but it wasn't sweetly, no, she smiled at me in such a cold and sinister way that the feeling of cold fingernails raked itself down my back.
But it was when she spoke that I was truly scared, her voice so full of malice that I actually gasped. "This is almost too easy."
Then I couldn't breathe.
She placed her wrinkled old hands on my neck whispering words in what appeared to be a foreign language and with every word my throat seemed to get tighter, cutting off my airway.
Heat raced throughout my body leaving behind a weird tingling sensation that grew into a larger pressure boring down on me.
The nurses eyes started to glow, easily lighting up the whole room as her eyes glared into mine.
The building pressure in my body grew looking for release, and the heat peaked boiling my insides as my back bowed off the ground and I screamed, my already scratched throat burning.
Suddenly, my eyes began to burn and the world, an already bright white was tinted in a light blue color, it's shade heavenly.
The nurses chant died down and she stared at me with a mixture of uncertainty and confusion on her frail face. "What are you doing child?" Her eyes continued to glow and I couldn't answer.
The horrible pressure in my body finally reached its peak, and the world turned into an electric blue as the rush of energy flew out of my body in a manic tide, slamming into the nurse and turning her into dust, her screeches of terror echoing in my head.
I, limp and exhausted, layed there breathing in and out, my mind blank as I tried my hardest to process this turn in events.
Darkness clouded my eyesight and I welcomed it, succumbing to the familar feeling of exhaustion.370Please respect copyright.PENANAsc8Sb8dP2P
