Later that night , a young nurse walked into Roy's room and approached his bed . she was just to take his trey when she noticed that he didn't eat a thing nor he was asleep , she narrowed her eyes and took a deep look in Roy's face until he looked back at her with his gloomy pale eyes , she startled instantly and looked away then hastily walked out the room

Even though the situation came as a little odd , Roy didn't give it much of attention , he kept thinking and thinking obsessively about what on earth should he make of the dilemma  he had put himself into , he was still feeling drowsy but sleeping is now scratched off the option list he has .

He was frustrated with where things have went with his brother like friend , he can't believe that this is Klaus at all , and certainly can't digest what he has done in response to his cruel words .

"something's strange " he thought

He kept thinking of how to fix the situation but kept ending up at a dead end . so after all it was a waste of time to think anyway , but in this empty room what else could he do ?

He spent the  night twisting and turning and other times sitting on the side of the bed head between hands trying to crush a splitting headache , he would sometimes sit on the side of the window even though he wasn't allowed to leave the bed at all .

Its 5 am ... Roy is holding on by a thread of sanity , there's a huge painful bruise on his shoulder that now seemed useful to keep him awake all night without him trying to .

The same nurse walked in again , this time to change the other patient fluid bags , he was a young man , Roy wondered what it was that brought him here , yet didn't have the guts to ask ...

" you should get some sleep sir " the nurse stated out of the blue while she was fixing the fluid bag

" ..... I can't " he feebly and carelessly whispered

" I could get you  some sleeping pills or...."

" I DON'T want to sleep " he interrupted , " I can't have dreams "

The nurse didn't reply for awhile and was slightly intimidated thinking that Roy is troubled , she kept sneaking looks at Roy's face as she was working .

" I have to get out today , ' said Roy calmly as if it doesn't matter if it's allowed or not

" but .. sir , you're still.."

" I don't care ..." he interrupted impolitely , he pushed himself out of the bed staggering until he got a good grip on the bed's steal handle . she noticed that Roy was already dressed in his clothes which only meant that he was preparing for his departure since late night .

Just before he got out of the room , he stopped instantly , turned his head to the nurse and asked pointing his finger ,

"do you ... have anything that keeps you awake ?? "

" whatever you want you should have a prescription for it "

" yeah , w.whatever .. " he sighed on his way out

The nurse got tense , she clenched her hands and shouted at the very last moment

" you can't  run !! "

Roy stopped suddenly , he took a moment before he finally turned his head back at her , " ...what ?" he said seriously

" I'm sorry , it's just that ... I had a dream about you yesterday , and I don't know it feels like a prevision  now , I told you that you can't run and you can't hide , and that I'll always find you , I don't know why , strange it is .. sorry for my unprofessional behavior  but I felt that I must tell you ..."
