The Switch

The Switch(Chapter 10)

¤THIRST!THIRST,Elecktra!CONTROL IT,UNTIL YOU CAN!And RUN!

RUN!!!!¤

I quickly sat up in my bed,covered with cold sweat.My hair was messy and sticked on my back and breast,because the nightmares I had were really panicing.I took a deep breath and continued telling myself,it was just a bad dream.I really wanted water.It was hot in here,I felt like I was burning inside and outside.

I lied down,and tried to fall asleep,though I didnt know what time it was.

My pillow was hot and I turned the side of it.

It didnt get better.

I tried waving wind to myself.

I didnt feel any difference.

Maybe I had the flu,maybe I was in high fever.I pushed away my blanket,and was just with my pajama,shorts and top.

I started breathing really bad.

I needed something to drink,but I couldn't move myself.

I wanted to scream for help,but the only voice I managed to do was to breathe out really loud,like a dog on a hot sumer day.

Then I had cramps all over my body so I was in an agony in my bed.No-one heard me though I felt like I was dying.

Then,when I still thirsted so badly,someone opened the curtains.

It was an old lady.

I recognized her from the painting.

She didn't look very friendly and had a pair of scissors in her hand.

I was lying in that messy bed,shaking and sobbing.

She didn't mind that and came closer to my face.

She leaded over my head and I heard a slicing sound.

She cut a piece of my hair and put it into small plastic bag.Then she suddenly had a big needle in her hand,full of some liquid.

"There,there...this will make you feel better"she whispered and pulled away hair from my neck.

She tested the needle and I saw the medicine coming out from the top of the needle.

I have always been scared of needles.Even at the doctors,where I rarely was,I was terrified to give blood to analyse it.

So I was that time.

I struggled really pathetically,but the lady pushed my head side strongly against the pillow,so it was useless.

I felt how she pushed the needle deep in my neck and ejected the liquid slowly.

"Ssh,shh...it's gonna be okay."

The lady comforted me when some tears dropped to the pillow.

Then she pulled it out and I felt strong pain where the needle had bceen.

She put a plaster on it ,closed the curtains and left.

This medicine made me sleepy and I couldn't move myself at all.

The last thing before I fell asleep was to think,that I at least saved my sister from those horrible things.

~~

When I woke up,I saw a bright sunshine glowing through my curtains.I heard some birds singing and a light breeze,so I guessed the window was open.

I didn't remember much from that night,I could even say I felt refreshed.
