Pretty Little Get Away

chapter 8

I opened my eyes to see an A still working on my arm. I guess they already stitched it up because the A that was hovering over me was raping around my wound with a thick layer of gauze. I looked over to see if Hanna is still okay and find her leg raped in gauze and propped up by something.

        A finished up with my arm and started to walk away, but before he or she could get through the door I said, "You may have helped me and Hanna out, but I still hope you go to hell."

A just looks back at me and leaves.

        I eventually figure out I'm not tied down anymore and try to sit up but start to fall back down because of how lightheaded I feel. I feel a pair of hands catch me and gently lay me back down. I hear Aria say, "I thought I told you, you need to rest for two weeks?" I turn to see if she's joking but her face says otherwise.

        "Sorry, but I need to see if Hanna's okay," I tell her and try to get up again. She grabs one of my shoulders and then I feel someone else grab my other shoulder. It's Spencer.

        They half push, half ease me back down. I try to get up again but they catch me again.

"Okay, now I sorta wish A still had you strapped down. This is ridiculous," Spencer says.

"Yes. It is," Aria agrees.

"I'll make you a deal. If you let me see if Hanna is okay than I lay down in till you say I can get up," I counter. After a few moments Aria finally cracks and says, "Okay." And Spencer nods in agreement.

        They help me to my feet and I walk over to Hanna without hesitation. A left the air mask on her. That can't be good. After a few tries to get Hanna awake, Aria and Spencer make me lie back down. When I'm about five feet away from the table the pounding in my head starts up again and I get dizzy. I feel like I'm falling in every direction at once. Then out of the corner of my eye I see Emily finally come in.

        Aria and Spencer grab me before I actually start to fall. They walk me over to the table and starts talking rapidly. Once I'm back on the table I hear Spencer telling Aria to go check on Hanna. Emily also goes over to Hanna as well.

        Spencer propped my head up on something and then I realized she was asking me how many fingers she was holding up. I said three but it must have been wrong because Spencer shakes her head and puts her head in her hands.

        Everything becomes slow moving. I hear someone say, "We need a doctor!," and figure it's Hanna with her high voice. Then I see both A's come through the door. One holds a gun and the other comes running to where I am. I feel my self moving and see the door coming closer but all I can do is mumble, "Don't."

        ' Don't ' has more of a meaning than you might think. Don't take me from my friends. Don't kill me. Don't kill them.

                                           Just don't.

==============================================

I wake up in a room with a light overhead. I see the outline of someone who is holding a flashlight. They turn it on and lift up my eyelids. Am I at a hospital? I think to myself. They turn the flashlight off and put there hand to my forehead. I look around to see no walls. All I can see is the person in front of me and the floor the light eliminates. What's going on? Where am I?

        I feel something sharp hit my left arm but don't really notice because I'm barely awake. I try to get up but I can't. Something's holding me down. I finally get away from what ever it is that was holding me down. When I sit up I see I'm in a room that only has one door. Then I see the two figures out of the corner of my eyes.

        Complete terror comes over me as I try to stay calm. As I try to keep my voice steady I choke out, "You didn't keep your promise." Then I'm on my feet. My head not pounding anylonger, I run at the door. It opens but then someone picks me up, the door swings closed and I'm kicking and screaming.

         "Mike 'll kill you! Mike 'll kill you when I'm out of here!," I keep saying over and over. Then there's yells from the other side of the door.

"Claire! Claire is that you? Claire!"

"Guys, I'm in here! I'm in here!," I yell as loud as I can manage.

"Claire, it's Emily. We'll get you out!"

"Get me out! I don't care how! Put the damb place up in flames if you need to! Just get me out!"

        A punched me in the gut and I cough. Then the A holding me let's go and I fall to the floor. I get to my feet and run for the door but A #1 pushes me away from it. Then A #2 comes over and picks me up again. I thrash around trying to get away with no luck.

        The girl's are still screaming when A #1 opens the door. I see them back away when A #1 pulls out a pistol. "Claire, are you okay?," ask Hanna and Aria at the same time.

"I'm fine. Where are they taking me!?"

"We don't know! Claire, we'll find you!," I hear Spencer say.

        The looks on their faces where pure shock. I had to turn away. But when we turn a corner with A #2 dragging me I yell back, "Guys, run! Go get help. Find a way out!" And then I'm thrown into a room.

         The room is white and has a single chair in the middle. There's nothing else. Nothing that I see anyway. Both A's grab one of my arms and sit me in the chair. I get away a few times actually, but every time I did, they just grabbed me again.

        They eventually tie my wrists to the chair. "You guys are jacked in the head!," I yell. They just finish binding my ankles to the chair. A #1 walks to one side of the chair and out of my field of view. I start to jump up and down in the chair. I feel a sharp pain in my neck, and the cool liquid that follows. Then everything goes black.
