Demon Host

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE- Trust in a little hope

It took just the blink of an eye. One minute I was tied up in that cabin in the middle of nowhere and now I had been standing in the exact same hospital room where i had been dozed and kidnapped.

I tried to understand how that was possible, but it just did not make any sense. Five seconds ago I thought I was going to die or something. '- okay don't judge, I know you all are probably tired of me always thinking I'm going to die, but seriously-'

The feeling was almost pleasantly scary. It was like I was a weightless bird falling from the clouds to the rock hard surface of the earth. I had shut my eyes so tight thinking that by the time it was actually time to land, I was going to get crushed on a massive rock or something. Only for me to fall harmlessly on the cold tiled floor in a room that smells like a health factory.

I know how much i hate hospitals that is for sure! But somehow I always found myself in one. The irony.

I looked up in search for the woman who had gotten me into this to begin with, maybe she would answer my questions. But she was gone. Completely vanished like she was never here to begin with, but the rune she had carved on my wrist was proof to her existence.

Just then I started to doubt myself. What if I had just made a horrible mistake? What if she was never going to uphold her part of the deal? There most have been another way that i could have saved Ming without making a deal with a total stranger. But something in the back of my mind kept on telling me to be optimistic.

I shut my eyes for a brief second, took in a deep breath before opening back my lids and looked down at the marking on my wrist and traced it with my index finger. It did not hurt but i knew that the kind of pain in which this thing would bring, would be much greater than any physical pain.

I needed to see Ming, so i stud up, taking note of how late it was already, if my calculations where correct the time would be nothing lower than four in the morning.

Carefully, I exited the room making sure to shut the door very quietly and then I tried to recall from the time i spent here shortly, my way back to the room Ming was put and it was not really hard to find it.

Peeping through the little glass on the upper side of the door, I could spot Ming lying the same way she was when i first got here some hours ago. I couldn't get a good glimpse on her face but by the way she was staying put on the bed, I could tell that she had not moved an inch and that only intensified the determination inside of me to bring her back.

Just as i was about to pull the door open, I noticed another figure sitting beside her with crossed arms and a bowed head. Jaime was just sitting up straight beside his cousin. At first i thought he was sleeping in a rather very uncomfortable position, but then when i noticed the movement on his legs and biceps, I knew he was not sleeping but speaking. Or rather whispering.

Or Maybe it was just my ears playing a trick on me but it seemed like he was trying to cajole some sweet words to his sleeping beauty as he stared down at the paleness of her face.

I figured i shouldn't disturb, and besides I was not in the mood to answer any type of questions.

So with the wait of thoughts of concern my shoulders, I left the door and found my way to exit of the hospital.

Exhausted beyond measure, my legs where about to give out on me, but still I tried, I tried so hard to keep walking, till I finally got out of the empty hospital doors. At that moment, my phone began to ring.

Looking on to the callers ID, a deep frown formed between my brows as it was an unknown number. At first i was going to reject the call, but it occurred to me that the person calling might be Isabella, maybe she had something important to tell me although I have no idea where she would have gotten my number. But at the same time i have no idea how the woman found me and knew about the unspeakable creature inhabiting a home inside of me to begin with, so i would not doubt her capabilities.
