Deep in my heart

Chapter 2: The shattering Bullets

They sat down and glared at Elaenna for a few minutes before she finally noticed and said"What?" Patricia looked at her and said, "You went too far earlier". Gabriela nodded and said," I agree...I mean I know you're still hurting over your past and all but you literally sent him to the hospital...that can be classified as use of excessive force". Elaenna frowned and said" Excuse me but you don't know what the fuck I am feeling. Maybe I just hate men and everything to do with love so don't act like you know me just because we've talked a few times about my past. As far as I'm concerned, that asshole got what he deserved and that's the end of it". Gabriela stood up and said, "Well if you hate anything that has to do with warmth then why don't you join your mother in hell with the rest of the sinners you bitch".

Patricia slapped Gabriela before saying, "That's enough you went too far" and dragging her away. Elaenna sighed and said"Who needs them" before finishing her lunch and heading to her next class. After classes ended for the day, she decided to go use the library to finish one of the last reports of the semester. It took a few hours and by now it was dark but she was happy she had no more classwork left to do. As she left the Library and headed out to her car, unbeknownst to her a figure was stalking her and ready to pounce. The person continued following her until she was in a dark spot before grabbing her from behind and holding a cloth to her nose.

She briefly lost consciousness before regaining it in an alley behind a building on campus. When she fully came to, her heart dropped as she realized her hands and legs were bound. There in front of her stood the guy she had beat up this morning, with a gun in his hand and an evil grin on his face. He said, "Well well, not so tough now are we bitch? All I wanted was to get to know you and you attack me like some fucking criminal". He continued and said, "You treat the whole school like shit and it's time someone adjusted that nasty attitude...you say no one will miss me well no one's gonna miss you".

By now Elaenna was trembling with fear but she wasn't going to beg for her life. She hated that she was in this hopeless situation but she still did not regret her actions earlier. To her, this was just another reason why men can't be trusted. She tried hard but despite her best efforts, she too would die at the hands of these vile creatures. He raised the gun and whipped her across the face before shooting her three times and fleeing the scene. As she began to blackout from blood loss, she closed her eyes and said to herself" Momma I'm coming home...please don't be too angry with me". Afterwards, she felt so cold and everything faded to black.

When she awoke she found herself in a hospital bed, only one issue, she didn't remember anything besides her name and she was unable to move her legs. Scared and confused, she desperately yells for anyone which immediately sends a nurse running into the room. The nurse was a skinny, light-skinned, ebony woman with a small, curly Afro. The nurse looked over at her, smiled, and said"Hello my name is Vic and I've been caring for you over the last 2 weeks". Elaenna frowned and said"How'd I get here and why can't I move?" She sighed and said, "I'll tell you in a minute but first I need you to answer a few questions for me".

Elaenna nodded and said "Okay" before Vic said," What's your full name and date of birth?" Elaenna said, "My name is Elaenna Lisandra Robinson and as for my date of birth...well I don't remember". Vic continued and said" Okay, next question, what is your age, and the highest level of education completed? Elaenna shrugged and said"Can't remember". Vic nodded and said, "Final question...do you remember your family or where you live?" Elaenna shook her head as tears trickled down her cheeks.

Vic sat next to her, wiped her tears, and said"Sweetie, it's gonna be OK...I have all your information and we're gonna take care of you". Vic sighed and said, "You came in two weeks ago, late in the evening...you had been assaulted and shot 3 times. Apparently, after the person shot you, it drew people out and when they saw a hooded man running from behind a building, someone called campus security and the local police. When they arrived they were stormed by a bunch of bystanders who had gone to meddle and had found your body. When they arrived, two girls named Patricia and Gabriela were there tending to the puncture wounds, trying to keep the blood from flowing. They were later questioned by police and just as a formality and were proven innocent".

Vic continued and said, " One bullet penetrated through your chest, one hit in your thigh and stayed there and the third one grazed near your neck before penetrating your shoulder...thank god there were no signs of rape". Vic sighed and said, "You're probably having memory loss from the concussion you got or the trauma or both...it did look like you took a few blows to the head as well". Elaenna nodded and said well I'll have to thank those two girls one of these days". Vic hugged Elaenna and said"I'm sorry to say this but your mother and father are missing...their plane had an accident and it hasn't been heard from but their certain it's okay". Elaenna nodded and said"I don't remember them but I hope to see them soon". Vic nodded and said, "I'll be back with your pain medicine and some food so just hang in there".

Vic was joined by her friend Hanna who was listening in from outside and together they walked to get the medicine but when they got into the storage room, Hanna shut the door and turned to Vic with a frown. Confused, Vic said, "What's wrong?" and Hannah said, "Why didn't you tell her the truth?" Vic looked at her and said, "What are you talking about?" Hannah said, "Stop playing dumb, we both know that they said the plane crashed on the tarmac and there were zero survivors....Elaenna's parents are dead".
