Therrie's Thirty Days of Temperamental Cycle

Chapter 28: Acceptance

When everything seems to be good for Therrie, that's what only she thought. Not all things fall into place.

Therrie opened up her eyes hearing the faint beeping of a machine. Her surroundings don't seem to have much light. It was a little dimmed and the smell is something she's not familiar with, but a place something she could recognize anywhere, but not in the place she's on it now.

The blurry vision upon waking up finally sets in straight and concisely. But her head is only positioned in one direction and that's looking directly into the ceiling. She tried moving her body, but she felt being stripped from head to toe, and that only means one thing to her. She's back in the private room where she has been put in as they brought her back inside the facility.

The only thing she could remember was meeting Doctor Carmona back in her own room. She's not sure if she was assuming or maybe hallucinating, but that could be wrong because she hasn't taken any medication or pills to be in a complete trance. If she could be seeing things, it's impossible that Doctor Carmona could be dead and her spirit is haunting her now.

That's an impossible thing to happen. The doctor wouldn't kill herself for the sake of getting back to Therrie.

At any minute now, she's expecting the doctors would come at her disposal and check on her once again. Now that Therrie's plan comes down in vain, it all goes back to zero and she has no plan b for this. She just thought putting all the bad things that happened inside the facility to the doctor would make total sense, she's responsible for the patients so pointing her out as the one who killed the staff does rule out.

Saglit lamang ay biglang bumukas ang napakaliwanag na ilaw. Tila nabulag si Therrie sa biglaang pagsindi nito at ang paligid ay bigla na lamang napaligiran ng kung anong puting kulay. She just had her eyes closed, it will take time for her to adjust her vision, but while shutting her vision off, her hearing senses became so intricate that she could hear everything.

"She's awake! She's finally awake!" someone announced, a girl's voice—but Therrie thought that's not the doctor's voice. It's someone new.

The rushed off footsteps she heard coming around her seems too loud. She couldn't distinguish how many feet are there, but numerous people coming in her direction.

Murmur starts from those people. Therrie heard unfamiliar voices swarming around her. It was weird. She couldn't comprehend what they were talking about. A man forced her to split her right eye open and a blinding light from a flashlight pointed directly at her which completely made her a little dizzy. Then the man do the same thing to her other eye and when it finished, Therrie completely shut her eyes off. She's not blind, but she just couldn't open it without being so cautious. Even if her eyes closed, she could see the blinding light behind her eyelids.

She couldn't even say a word. It's like she can open her mouth, but because it is so dry, there's no word she could speak. Not a single sound as well.

"You'll be fine, Therrie..." the same voice earlier said. "We got you."

But even though Therrie seems like knew what was happening around her, she still doesn't have an idea. Kung may ginagawa man ang doctor sa kanya ngayon, she knows that it would be a bad thing. She doesn't feel right about anything. The moment she got her consciousness back, in the back of her mind, something was wrong and she couldn't figure it out yet.

Pero sa pagkatataong ito, hinayaan na lamang muna ni Therrie kung anong gagawin ng mga doctor sa kanya. But there were too much hands all over her. It should only be Doctor Carmona and Doctor Rivera, but she couldn't feel their presence around.

Therrie tried opening her right eye a little giving herself a bit of sight to see. But still, Therrie couldn't have a clear sight of people around her, until something has been put on her and immediately drives her nerves, getting her body up from the bed and gasping loudly. The people around her stepped back finding out that she finally recovered from being paralyzed.
