It wasn't me

Chapter 11

Rose

It only took me a few seconds to realise what Felix had said.

My reflexes were improving, I can be proud of myself.

I darted out of the door and saw that he wasn’t that far off the hallway. I walked in a fast pace after him until I was walking next to him.

“What do you mean?” I tried to ask like nothing was wrong. Maybe I was just paranoid again and it was just a coincidence. Afterall, people could have different meanings for different things that happened in their lives. “Did the movie room play the new Marvel movie?”

He scoffed. “No. They have been playing the same old 00’ movies for the old bitches on the first floor since last week.” He said while rolling his eyes, showing his disgust.

“Okay, first of all, language and second…” I stopped for a bit since I didn’t know what to say anymore. Not until I caught sight of a bruise on his bicep. “Where did you get that bruise from?” I tried to ask calmly but inside I was freaking out. Too many things were in my head and my heart was going 100 km/h. All the things that happened on the night that I went out were playing in my head. That jump…

“And old…old granny threw her brick phone at me.” He shrugged it off and continued to walk, me right behind him.

“Ouch.” I said, trying to sound like I was pitying him.

Once he got in front of the elevator I stopped. I didn’t have a reason to be on the sixth floor unless it was time for his medicine, which it wasn’t.

No matter how much I liked to think that Felix had changed, which he did in a way, I didn’t want to play with fire because I was taught from a very young age that fire burns. So I didn’t follow him any further, it was probably the stockholm syndrome catching up to me after the horror nights that I have been having lately.

When a light bulb popped into my head I knew that this is going to be the only thing that will make me calm down.

I went downstairs to the cctv room where a man that was supposed to be one of the security guards was lounging.

“What do you want?” He said in a bitter tone, not even sparing me a glance.

“Could I have a look over the camera footage from the sixth floor from Saturday between 6 pm and 3 am?” I asked.

“Look missy, if you think that you can just barge in here and demand camera footage of one of the most dangerous places then you are so wrong because I can’t give you that.” He said, now looking at me but he was still having his feet up the table.

“You don’t know who I am.” I said while I dropped an octave in my voice, he was starting to piss me off. “I am Rose Farr, main assistant and therapist for the patient on the sixth floor and I am, kindly, asking you to let me see the damn footage because if it did happen what I think it did then you’re gonna be fired before I say done. You want to know why? Because one of the most dangerous patient from all over our hospitals might have escaped that night.” I said, my tone grave and I looked the man dead in the eye.

He sighed as he took his feet down from his desk and began to type something into his computer. I was nervously leaning against the wall and biting at my nails.

With a final press of the enter bar I was looking at the security guard in front of me. I was asking him with my eyes to put me out of my misery and tell me that I was just paranoid.

He sighted and turned to me. “No footage was recorded on Saturday from 6 pm to 3 am.”

“What do you mean there is not footage from Saturday?” I asked in a panicked tone while grinding my teeth.

“There is no recording meaning that the camera didn’t catch anything.” He said a bit exasperated.

I got out of his little chamber without even bothering to thank him. He didn’t do shit for me.

I have come to my last resort. Get my hands on that file.

Felix’s POV

I have been excorted by the guards in my room like I always was when I had to come back from the therapy sessions with Rose. And once again, I was locked in here until probably tomorrow.

I liked seeing her, she was different from all of the other people that tried to “treat” me. They didn’t understand how I couldn’t be treated.

Rose seemed to understand that.

“But what if she plays games with you?” I heard a voice saying. A voice I didn’t hear in a while but it came back. “No one wants what’s best for you, you know Felix.” He said again as if mocking me.

“Shut the fuck up Agon.” I threatened him. He was stepping on my nerves. I wanted to think about Rose.

“Come on Eunha…or should I say Lix? It’s been a while since I saw you. Missed you bud.” He was in front of me, I could see him, face similar but that blonde bleached hair sticking out and making him, me even more pale than I already was, am. “You like little Rosie Posie, no?” He said again.

“I don’t like her.” I gritted my teeth.

“But you do.” He insisted.

“Don’t.”

“Do.”

“I don’t.”

“Oh but you do, you can’t wait to put a knife-“

I didn’t let him finish his sentence and was at his neck, my neck, choking him. Without thinking twice I started punching him. I just wanted things to be over. Get him out of me. I was throwing punches like there was no tomorrow and maybe there wasn’t going to be, not when I felt like my skin was starting to bruise. I was on the ground, rolling, trying to get it done. Push him out of me. I could hear his screams but I didn’t stop. My fist came in a hard and powerful contact with the wall and my skin barrier broke, bleeding out, red fresh liquid. I stopped for a second, darting my tongue out and taste the red liquid that had a metallic taste but it was somehow sweet too.

I was too busy with getting Agon out of me that I didn’t hear all the commution that was happening outside my cell. Not until I was being held down by force by some guardians and then I felt a pinch. In a matter of seconds I was out cold and I knew what they did. Sedated me.
