Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 60

Kali opened her eyes and saw that she was laying in what looked like a morgue preperation room. The overhead lights were strong and blinding and the smell of formaldehyde overpowering. She was strapped to a hospital bed. This her mind could register dimly. Her throat was dry and her lips cracked, bleeding from lack of moisture. Kali realised she was still alive.

Had everything really happened? Had she perhaps been in some kind of accident and during her comatose state dreamt up the horrors she had experienced. The throb in her arm brought her back to reality.

A cough nearby alerted her to the possibility that she wasn't alone. Kali tried to turn her head, as painful as it was, to gain a better perspective of her surroundings.

If she hadn't been so pale, one would have been able to see the blood drain from her face.

In the room were beds lined up one next to the other, as in a hospital and each bed contained a girl. What had her feeling nauseous, was the sleeping form of her sister a couple of beds down and across from her!

The girl in the bed beside her own coughed again and turned her head, their gazes locking.

"Help!"

Her voice was barely more than a whisper and tears slid down her cheeks as she begged for mercy.

Kali cleared her throat and tried to speak, painful as it was, "How?"

Both girls cried silently, knowing it was a hopeless situation.

Kali shifted her eyes back to her sister's form. What was she doing here?

It dawned on her.

She had come looking for her and had ended up in this tangled mess just like her.

A key turning in a lock caused the two girls to stare at one another in fear and despair.

Shutting their eyes, they tried to feign sleep in hope that they would be overlooked.
