SHIVER

Chapter 19 - Unwanted

I have been here for a week. Eric comes in every morning and night. I never stop crying.

This is horrific.

I have come to the conclusion that no-one is coming for me. I can dream but deep down I know that this is the end. I keep hoping that Eric will walk in with a gun, point it at my temple and say,

"Sorry Emily. It was fun whilst it lasted"

then BANG, he will pull the trigger. Of course, he wont show me that mercy. He may love me, but this is his way by showing it. Torturing me and raping me. I don't know how much more I can take.

I have taken to scratching my flesh with a blunt nail. I never break the skin, but the pain helps. Eric never notices the faint scars as he is too busy with other parts of my bruised body. 

He never uses protection. I'm terrified that I will end up with his baby.

I'm sitting, with my head in my hands when I hear the bolts being opened and the turning of a key. I crawl backwards and curl up in the corner. It wont do me much good, but I do it anyway.

The door doesn't open. Huh, usually he is in here straight away. I hear faint voices and I back up into the corner even more. Maybe he has brought friends and each one will use my body in turn? No! I can't take that. The first tears begin to trickle down my face. I hear too large bangs on the door. It's as if someone is trying to break in, but that can't be right. No-one knows I am here.

A final large bang and the door snaps off its hinges. I scream loudly in fear, and the next thing a tall, strong man has his arms around me. I try to escape but he whispers in my ear.

"Emily! Oh god Emily what has he done to you! Don't worry, we are getting you out of here!" Charlie whispers. I lean back and take in his handsome features and I begin to sob louder. I kiss him passionately, so glad I got another chance to do it. I lean back after our kiss and I see tears roll down his face. He takes off his jacket and wraps me in it so that I am warm and covered up. He gently lifts me, and carries me out of that god forsaken room.

As we exit the cottage, I see Sarah and Joseph towing Eric along. Eric is bound and gagged, and I know that they have to take him to the police. He glances at me, and I see hatred through his eyes. One look at him reminds me of all the pain and suffering he put me through, and I turn my head away from Charlie as I vomit what little contents I had in my stomach. I never want to see his face again, not if I can help it.

We leave the cave, and the cold salty air nips at my bare flesh, I yelp as I begin to shiver, and Charlie does his best to keep me warm. Joseph pushes Eric onto the boat, and a course of pleasure runs through me when I see him fall onto his face. Joseph then follows him so that he can lift me down onto the boat without Charlie falling. Sarah jumps onto the boat after Charlie does, and she takes Eric to the furthest corner on the boat that is away from me. She cuffs his hands to the railing at the front and stands with a gun pointed to his temple.

Charlie comes over with a blanket in his arms and he wraps me in it. He then holds me for the whole journey as Joseph sets the boat on course for the shore.

When we reach the bay, the police are already there to take Eric away. I'm glad to see him go. The police take me to the hospital so that I can be checked out. Everyone else comes in a different vehicle. The whole thing is very hectic at the hospital. I'm rushed off for multiple scans and I get so confused that I burst into tears. Eventually I am placed into a room that has all the curtains drawn and I am by myself. I stare out of the window, and then the nurse comes in.

"Miss Ray," she says. I look at her. She has a frown on her face. "Hello, Miss Ray. I know you have been through a very traumatic time. I'm afraid I have some bad news. I know that you were diagnosed with schizophrenia last month. How are you coping?"

I looked at her and said nothing. I think she got the hint.

"Er, right. Anyway, I want to warn you that you may end up with depression," she says. I just look at her again. As if I didn't know that. "Well anyway, I want you to keep regular appointments with a therapist. Also, I have some other news."

She looks nervous, and I just want to grab her and shake her until she just gets to the point.

"Miss Ray," she pauses. This is driving me insane. "Emily, you're pregnant."

I gasp in horror. No! Not with his baby! I break down, and the nurse looks panic striken. I look down at my stomach and I start punching it, screaming as I try to kill my own unborn child.

"Stop! Stop!" she yells at me, but I can't stop. I can't have his baby, I can't I can't I can't.

She grabs my flailing arms but ends up getting punched in the face. She calls for emergency doctors and I end up being surrounded by them trying to pin me down. I struggle but eventually I am completely pinned.

"Kill it!! Kill it!! Kill it or kill me!!"

Those are the last words I yell before I am knocked out.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long! I have been really busy with exam revision but I will try to post the next chapter soon.

This is nearly the end for Emily's story. I hope you have enjoyed it!
