I blinked my eyes a couple of times, trying to process what he just said.
I've been shot.
How? Where?
To this point I don't even know how I met him.
All I knew was that I was running and where my house was.
Who was I running from. Nevertheless why? Was it because the Cypher?
Yes.
Where is it? I thought looking around.
Why did everyone want it so badly? I had to stop thinking because a pain shot through my temple that I never in a lifetime experienced.
"Victoria!? Victoria?!"
Was all I heard Torian say.
My body started to shake a little, my throat got tight and my vision blurred.
My body was shutting down.
Why?
I only had some water. I haven't ate for over two days. So could that be the problem?
My wound ached and burned with so much power. I could feel the red thick substance leak out of me and wet up my shirt. I could feel the pain take over me. My whole body numbed and my hearing faded.
What was Torian saying at this point? I my eyes flit closed as I seen the blurred dialog before me.
Was I dying? Was this the end to all my suffering and loneliness I felt for seventeen years?
Maybe.

I sucked in air as I woke up to bright lights and a loud beeping sound. I looked around my surroundings and instantly knew where I was.
The hospital.
Why was I in the hospital? I thought looking around the room again. I saw a chair next to me and someone was sitting there.
A man.
To what I saw it looked like he was holding my hand. He had his other hand covering his face.
I felt the tubes in my nose as I wiggled my nose a little.
"Victoria?" I heard him say
I turned his way and smiled lightly remembering him.
"Yes?" I said my voice barely a whisper.
"I thought you had died." He said his eyes twinkling in the dim light.
"What happened? How did I get here?" I asked with concern and confusion spilling from my lips.
He looked at me with sympathy and worry.
What was wrong with me? Why was he giving me these looks like I'm crazy or someone with all timers.
"Victoria, you passed out very badly..."
"So, why did I pass out?" I asked wanting to get to the point already.
He squeezed my hand lightly and sighed.
"You have been with a-- a kind of virus that have been put in that bullet you got shot with..."
I blinked twice before answering. I have a what? A virus? I'm going to kill those bastards one by one.
"When is the nurse coming back?"
He stared at me and closed his eyes.
"I don't know yet. She said was going to be back with the results."
