SUICIDAL

SUICIDAL V

It was the second day of the trial and I wasnt as nervous as the first day, as usual, everything went smoothly with more evidence being brought out and questions being asked. According to Xavier, my case was the most talked about thing on the internet with the usual love-and-hate relationships with the fans and locals. I was very confident in myself about winning this case, Xavier has been popping his pussy into it after all and thus far hes been doing a great job but I wont tell him that, maybe when we win.

We had taken the usual thirty-minute break and as instructed Cassys mom had kept her distance, but she still sent daggers flying towards me with her glaring eyes. After the break we all returned to our various positions In the courtroom, I was called to the witness stand by the prosecutor and interrogated, everything was going smoothly until he played some CCTV footage from the night Cassy was killed and I had to admit the woman had features similar to mine but our faces were different, even with the blurry video it could easily be seen that that bitch wasnt me, but the court didnt know that since theyve never seen my face, Ive been wearing a mask up until now.

After the persecutor was done questioning me, Xavier came along and did the same, with every answer I gave he made a strong argument as to why the woman in the video wasnt me, the prosecutor had objected many times but was denied but was denied by the judge. When Xavier was done with questioning me I returned to my seat, both the persecutor and Xavier were told to give their final arguments before the court would be dismissed, Xavier had stated he had no more points to give but the persecutor was just getting started.

The persecutor provided the court with more evidence and brought a few more eyewitnesses to the stand before summoning me as well, he kept on trying to make me confess to killing Cassy by twisting his words so many times, trying so hard to throw me off balance but I kept strong on denying each one of his accusations, Xavier butted in so many times objecting and the Judge finally sustained it making the persecutor move on from that question.

The male pacing in front of me was sent by the devil to torment me, he kept on triggering my anxiety but I tried very hard to overcome it, but the next words he spoke pushed me straight into a full-blown panic attack, the kind I had never experienced before.

If youre so sure you arent the one in those footages, Ms. Kiara Diamond, thenPlease do the honor of taking off your mask I froze, Ive never taken off my mask in front of anybody not even Xavier, taking off my mask would be equal to meeting the devil face to face, Id rather go to jail and burn in the hottest part of hell than take my mask off.

This mask was the only thing separating my past and I. taking it off would be a death wish, I wasnt ready to take that risk, Im not strong enough to face the consequences thatd come after, Id rather rote in jail than to die by the hands of that beast, how could this man even ask me to do something as cruel as that with no sympathy or remorse?!

If you are as innocent as you claim to be, taking off your mask shouldnt be a problem now should it.If you take it off we the court would be able to know for sure if truly you are Innocent of all the charges placed against you I wasnt able to hear anything he was saying anymore, I felt paralyzed and the next thing I knew my body had hit the ground so harshly I could feel the blood trickling down my face, I saw Xavier alongside Doc Joe run towards me screaming words I couldnt hear or understand. My eyes were heavy and I passed out, the last thing I felt was my body being lifted off the ground.

AUTHORS POV

Kiara was rushed out of the courtroom and into the ambulance that had just arrived at the nick of time, she was having a bad epileptic seizure and was shaking profusely while foaming from the mouth, if they dont get her to the hospital on time shed die for sure.

When Kiara was rushed out of the courtroom the judge scolded and penalized the prosecutor for being so careless knowing fully well the health condition of the Suspect, it had always been a known fact that the topic of the masked writer was sensitive as she never talked about it and when asked during interviews it would always end with her being rushed to the hospital and this time even the judge was scared for the writers life.

The trial was adjourned until Kiara was completely recovered and allowed by her doctor to continue with the trial. All of the writers fans began a protest and demanded the prosecutor be changed with immediate effect, Mental health Awareness officials also raised their voices against the inhumane behaviour of the prosecutor, it wasnt a hidden fact that the writer was suffering through mental health issues but nobody got close enough to help her. The writer was currently fighting for her life in the ICU, while the court was receiving massive backlash from the public.

Xavier had stayed outside the ICU and was anxiously waiting to hear any form of news about Kiara, they had gotten somewhat close over the months and he considered her a close friend even though she took him for a mare acquaintance, hours had passed since the doctors had been trying to stabilize her and honestly, no one had faith that shed pull through, the seizure was extremely bad and by the time they had arrived to the hospital she had completely stopped breathing but the faint beat of her heart could be pickup giving the doctors a little more hope.

News reporters were scattered all over the place even when security tried to stop them from gaining access to the hospital some of them managed to get in. After what seemed like a lifetime Doctor Mia, one of the doctors in charge of Kiara came out of the ICU and informed Xavier of the good news, Kiara was stable and was being moved into one of the VIP rooms, but she was in an indefinite Coma and her body was weak, spasming once in a while, it was a miracle she was alive cause the amount of electric wave that was sent to her brain was alarming. Nobody would have been able to survive it but she somehow did. The doctors wondered what sort of trauma the writer must have gone through in the past to trigger her like that, it was truly a mystery only the writer could solve.

After Kiara had successfully been shifted into the VIP room, Xavier had gone to see her, she was as pale as winters snow, her hands were as cold as ice from the Antarctic Ocean, her lips chapped and dry, her body thinner than usual, tubes plugged all around her and an oxygen tank for her to breath, he noticed her spasms which occurred almost every ten to fifteen minutes. Kiara wasnt full of life but she wasnt so dead either, if only that stupid persecutor had shut his mouth and minded his own business but no, he had to be a jerk hiding behind the law.

Xavier sat beside the bed and just stared at the almost lifeless figure of his client and he felt his heart ache, he could only imagine what she was passing through, a new wave of determination grew in him, determination to prove Kiara innocent no matter what, at least she deserved that much, he owed her that much. No more slacking, time to get the real murderer behind bars and clear Kiaras name and with these thoughts the lawyer hadnt realized when he passed out on the chair, the body aches would for sure hit different when he woke up.
