I Am A Believer (Hiatus)

Chapter 3

Unknown Pov:

 The bird perches on my arm, tame and trusting.  From a wild free beast it went to a broken, defeated common bird. How easily I can crush it right now. I have the power to destroy it.  Just like I have the power to destroy her.

I'll have her killed, broken like the bird. I'll make her feel the pain.  The pain of being betrayed by the one she trusts.

In this game, I have you, Elena Malik. 

In this game your father started I shall finish it with you. 

And I intend to win this game. 

There is nothing you can do. 

I will manipulate you, have you begging mercy but there shall be none. 

Just like your father refused it to me when I begged.

I will kill you.

The fist tightens around the beast's neck. It stuggles before it goes limp and falls, dead.

This will be your fate aswell, girl.

"Did she find it?"

"Yes, líder"

"Good."

The Quran says: "Who hath created life and death that He may try you which of you is best in conduct; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving..." [67:2]

Argument

"Oh my God!" Dr. Jessica exclaimed as she saw the baby in my arms, "Elena, what did you do?"

With her expression, she seemed to be expecting the worse. Disbelief and indignation shone though her eyes. I didn't know whether to laugh or roll my eyes at her. 

"I found it lying in an alley, abandoned. I couldn't just leave it there," I said softly as the baby yawned. It looked so adorable. I watched it as it wrapped it's tiny hands around my finger, "It's so....inocent, so young. Can I please keep it?"

Jessica bit her lips, "I don't know....are you sure, like sure sure that there was absolutely no one? No parents? No tag? I mean.....what if the parents are searching...?"

"No!" I cut her off. A memory of my parents getting in the car came to me. "No....there aren't any parents! A parent," I took a breath, "would never ever abandon their kid like that."

Something must have changed in my expression. Jessica faltered. She put her head in her hands before she finally looked up, "There'll be papers to be signed."

A grin nearly split my face into two, "I am willing to do anything for this baby."

The door burst open, making me jump in my chair. Jessica let out a small shriek but I relaxed when a breathless nurse, Lena I think, burst in.

"Dr. Smith, the patient in Private Ward is insane!" she panted, "He refuses to take his medicines! He's throwing a tantrum! I don't know whether he is delirious or whatelse! His blood pressure is increasing and if it continues there is a chance of a stroke."

"Why does that sound exactly like that suicidal man?" It took a great effort not to roll my eyes this time.

From my tone I think I gave myself away though as I caught Jessica's frown.

She sighed and I realized just how tired she looked and suddenly I felt ashamed of myself. If not for anybody, I should atleast try to help my friend to decrease the work load instead of being so tough on her.
