You dragged your eyes open as the stale smell of disinfectant and blood flooded your nostrils. 

Fuck, I'm in the hospital.

The events of tonight came rushing back in flashes and you instantly sat up, regretting it as a massive throb erupted from the spot you were hit on the head.

"Shit! Where is he?!" you shouted, your hand on your forehead as you stumbled out of bed, the pain in your side starting to grow, too.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take it easy," a doctor came rushing into the room. 

He carefully placed his hands on your shoulders and forced you to sit down on the bed, a nurse rushing in soon after with some pills in her hand and a glass of water.

"Where is he?! Did they catch him?! I saw him! He was in the house, mask and everything! Please tell me they caught him!" you frantically asked, tears rushing down your cheeks.

The realization of what happened was starting to sink in, and you were having a breakdown.

The doctor and nurse gave each other a solemn look before turning to you. 

"I'm afraid not. They weren't able to find any evidence of the killer, other than the damage to the house, your injuries, and the bodies of Steven Orth and Casey Becker," the doctor sadly stated.

Casey. Oh God, Casey.

The image of her hanging body flashed in your head.

Her bloody sweater.

Her insides hanging out.

Her hand still desperately clutching onto the phone. 

You let out an anguished sob and the nurse pulled you into a hug, stroking your back as you cried into her shoulder.

"Luckily, you didn't lose too much blood when you were found, and we were able to stitch you up. Your head only had a minor contusion but nothing serious. T-" "Doctor Matthews to the OR. Doctor Matthews to the OR," the intercom interrupted.

The doctor sighed and started towards the door, but not before stopping and looking back to you. 

"Try not to do anything strenuous for the next few days and it should heal just fine. Come right back if anything is bothering you, alright, Miss (l/n)?" 

"Alright," you sniffled, wiping your eyes as you lifted your head from the nurse's shoulder. 

He gave you a warm smile before exiting the room, leaving just you and the nurse.

"I'm gonna give you these," she started, handing you the pills, "They're painkillers. Take them twice a day or whenever needed." 

You popped them in your mouth and used the water to wash them down.
