PRESENT
TW - Brief mentions of rape, abuse
Blood...
Blood and fallen bodies...
Someone had picked me up...
Warmth...
They were hugging me...
Are they crying?...
Screams, gunshots...
too much.
It's too much...

I felt a cool breeze upon my body causing my eyes to flutter open.
White ceiling, white walls. The smell of medicine reached my nose.
Am I in a hospital?
It seems as if I am.
I breathed out a sigh.
I was safe, I was safe from my three years of torture.
I was safe...
The doors burst open quickly, and I closed my eyes just in time.
"If only I had found her earlier!"
"Sir Damien, I understand your situation but please refrain from shouting in my hospital"
"Right Doc..."
I felt movement beside me and someone softly held my hand. Papa was holding my hand. How sweet.
I can't let them know. I can't let anyone know what happened to me during these 3 years. I'll make sure-
"Her body shows clear signs of rape, abuse, and the presence of toxins"
The doctor explained to my father putting an end to my thoughts.
Never mind... they know already.
"Fuck... I... What the fuck am I-"
"Again, please don't shout"
A frustrated and angry groan escaped my father's mouth.
"What can I do to help her? Please-"
"I will be fine papa"
My voice surprised both of them as they realized I had been awake.
"Estelle..."
"Hi papa"
"Hi?" A sad broken chuckle came from my father as I sat up.
"Can I... would it be okay if I held you, daughter?"
I nodded briefly. I didn’t feel like denying him.
Relief broke out on his face as his huge muscled arms wrapped me close.
I was immediately tense, my body rigid and not a breath being released.
He seemed to understand my posture and released me.
The doctor awkwardly stood there, analyzing my movements.
"How long..." I briefly asked.
"5 days... you've been out for five days. But it was good. We managed to treat your body by that time and I'm glad to say you don't have any major or permanent injuries"
He was talking about my physical injuries.
I nodded at him and recoiled back into the bed.
I was starting to get uncomfortable and frantic. I didn’t like this. I wanted to get out.
