I was running with all the power I got. Tears left my eyes my legs went numb but I had to run, run away from him.
My leg stumbled upon a rock as she fell down. This was the end, now I can never run away from him.

I walked past people as I entered the building as the fragrance of chemical and medicine lingered in the air making me want to gag but I held my breath and made my way towards the receptionist. I signed my name in the registration book before making my way towards the elevator as I stepped out on the third floor. Sounds of people crying and praying made me feel anxious, making me remember the time I was like them. I ignored those cries as I walked past all of those people finally reaching in front of the ward I wanted to reach as I pushed the door, making my way inside.
"How are you, Liz?" I asked as I kept my handbag on the side table as I took out a blue colour file before forwarding my hand to give it to her.
"Damn, you really don't care about me now, Iris" She said dramatically, making me roll my eyes playfully.
"Don't play around. I did ask you how you are, you didn't reply" I said and took a stool before placing it near her bed.
"I was gonna but before I can you handed me the file" She said and rolled her eyes making me chuckle.
"Ok whatever. Where is she though?" I asked after not spotting her in the room.
"What do you mean where is she? She texted me that she is gonna come with you" Liz said with a confused expression plastered on her face making me confused.
"But she texted me that she is already here with you and you guys started the research too."
"What? Why would she lie?" Liz asked but something about her seemed off, it told me otherwise. I shook off that thought why would she lie to me anyway, she is bad at lying too.
"I will call her and ask" I said as I took out my phone to call her. "No need, I already called her before and her phone was switched off so I don't think she is gonna pick your call" she said, stopping my hand in mid-way of reaching my hand bag. I just nodded, still feeling something off about her behavior but didn't question it.
"We have a trip tomorrow" I said trying to divert the topic as her eyes shined with excitement.
"If your leg is healed then you can join us"
"It's healed!" She exclaimed "Doctor said he is gonna take off my cast today then I will be good to go"
I sighed and just nodded not wanting to argue with her when my phone rang, making me take it out of my hand bag as I saw the caller id 'Uncle Larry' I picked up the phone before placing it near my ear.
"Hello?"
"Hey Iris? What's your aunt doing? She is not picking up my calls" <
"Sorry to disappoint you uncle But I am not at home right now. I came to pay a visit to Eliza at hospital"
"Oh! It's alright. I was just calling to inform that I will come home late tonight so tell her not to wait for me and you should head home it's dark already, you won't get any taxis now" <
