Lucy is 9 she is constantly being sold to people to work and do other stuff and one year three years later she is 11 she is sent to a different type of house the guy who had bought her was called Mike he only wanted her for her organs to make more profit
Lucy was kept locked in the basement and she was constantly restrained to the table and Mike would take blood from her and he would sometimes take bone marrow then he decided to take a kidney from her and give it to a hospital he restrained her to the table despite her protests he had only given her a little anaesthetic he cut her chest open about to remove a kidney when an officer burst in quickly arresting him and calling for an ambulance Lucy was stitched up and taken to hospital she was terrified of the hospital she saw needles and tubes and machines she hated it She lay in the bed when a doctor came in
D-hello Lucy I'm your doctor I'm just here to do a blood test quickly okay
Lucy didn't respond the doctor sterilised the equipment he went to put the needle in but Lucy moved her arm
D-I just need to take some blood okay
L-no no I don't want to lose anymore blood don't take it please
D-I have to it's only a little just these three little tubes okay
L-no
D-well we need to do it to see if he gave you anaesthetic or drugs
L-no leave me alone
D-we need to do it so either let us or we'll have to restrain you to do it
L-r-restrain no no please Lucy said starting to sob but she still refused again and again to do the blood test so the doctor restrained her to the bed causing Lucy to scream in fear she started to sob loudly as the doctor put in the needle and starts to take some blood
L-please stop I don't want anyone to take my blood anymore Lucy cried
The officer who arrested the man called Zoe has heard Lucy crying and screaming she entered Lucy's room and sat in the chair next to her bed whilst the doctor was taking blood

L-I'm good just a bit tired but do you think I might die he said that if someone finds me then I'd be dead soon after because he took a lot of blood
Z-you won't die plus if you are scared about it we can always just go back in tomorrow and make sure okay
L-okay thanks Zoe
Z-no problem do you think you know how much blood he took tho
L-I was there for a year I felt the needle 8 times a week he was did it twice on a Monday and each time he said he was taking half a litre and it took him 20 minutes each time so probably a lot of blood is gone
Z-okay tomorrow we're going to get you checked okay since it's late hospital is shut and this isn't really an emergency but if you start feeling lightheaded tell me okay
L-okay umm where should I sleep
Z-I'll show you to your room okay
L-okay thanks Lucy got shown to her room and sat on her bed she sat on her bed a few hours later she got out of bed but she went really dizzy and lightheaded and her legs buckled causing her to collapse to the floor Zoe heard the thud and rushed to Lucy's room
Z-LUCY!! Zoe shouted as she rushed to Lucy's side checking her pulse she was still breathing but her pulse was weak Zoe rang 911 Lucy was taken to hospital
D-she hasn't got very much blood in her body we need to do a blood transfusion that will last 6 hours otherwise her heart will stop
Z-okay umm do you have enough blood
D-no we only have half so we have 3 hours to find 4 litres of type A blood
Z-wait I'm type A can I donate blood
D-let me test you and see
Z-okay here Zoe quickly rolled up her sleeve and got tested
D-okay so you can donate blood but the limit per person is 1 litre so we just need two more people
Z-okay Zoe got her blood taken and they went to try find people to donate Zoe went to the station and grey and his wife agreed they both had the same type as Lucy Lucy was connected to the blood after 3 hours there was only one hour left until the blood transfusion was done Lucy woke up a little but she could feel something running through her arm it was cold and warm at the same time
