Can't Escape

Chapter 6

::Alejandro::

"Rain!" I screamed.

Rainee fell down the rocky hill. I ran after her. She just kept scraping against the hard rock, getting cuts all over her. Thank God she came to a stop at the boulder.

I stopped at Rainee's scraped up body. She had a bruise on her head and her scalp was bleeding. A lot.

"Rainee!"

::Rainee::

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Rainee, come back! Don't die on me!" I heard a man call.

Who is it? Why is it so dark? Where am I?

"Rainee, come back to me!" He called.

I felt something touch my arm. Like a hand, or something. But it felt my arm was on fire. A s my arm was being held onto, the darkness became flames. Burning flames. I screamed.

My eyes shot open to see a muscular man with sleek, dark hair, green eyes, and he had on a wife beater and jeans. His eyes were bloodshot and it looked he hadn't shaved in a month. But he sure was sexy. Damn.

"Who are you? Why am I in a hospital?" I asked.

"Rainee, I'm your husband, Alejandro. You accidentally fell down a hill and you were in a coma for a month." He responded.

This guy is my husband? How can that be? I don't remember getting married...To be honest, that's great! I mean I could look at his face all day.

"Rainee, I'm so glad you're back. I thought you died..." Alejandro said.

I smiled. Then, the lady, who I'm guessing is the doctor came in.

"Oh, you're awake, Mrs. Marris. How are you feeling?" She asked.

"Okay, I guess." I respond.

She was pretty. She had sleek, blonde hair pulled back into a perfect bun and she had on purple work pants, a white lab coat, and a purple scrub with pink butterflies on it. She had small, pink lips and blue, almond shaped eyes.

"Okay, I just need to check your-"

My eyes involuntarily shut. I fell back asleep.

::Alejandro::

Rainee has temporary amnesia. Good, 'cause I got her to think she's my wife and now we'll be a happy family! This is definitely a plus for me. I won't ever have to punish her or anything.

Rainee closed her eyes again. My eyes went big.

"It's okay. Patients tend to fall back asleep a couple minutes after they come out of a coma. She'll wake back up in a couple hours. But until then, I need you to exit the hospital." She said.

"Okay." I said.

I left the hospital and happily drove home. Maybe I can get Rainee to cook me some dinner.

::Two Hours Later::

::Rainee::

I open my eyes to see the nurse that was tending to me when I first woke up.

"Good. You're awake. I got your "husband" to go home." She said, air quoting 'husband'.

"Why? Is there a problem?" I asked.

Is she jealous because my husband is sexy? I hope she wasn't hoping to steal him from me. That would be a bad idea.

"You have amnesia. But I actually know who you are. You aren't Rainee Marris. You're Rainee Carter. You've been missing for a month and two days. Your so-called husband is your kidnapper. I don't know why I didn't call the police when I saw him. I was scared that he would kill me. He's a deranged criminal that's been on the loose for too long. He needs to be back where he belongs. In prison." She said.

At first I was surprised. Then I thought, 'It must be April Fools Day.' But she looked serious.

"Well, what are we gonna do?" I asked.

The nurse closed her eyes for a moment.

"These pills should help you receive faster. I'm gonna take you to the police station. I can't officially release you from the hospital until 8:30. But until then, hang tight Rainee. Everything is going to be alright."
