She taped her fingernails impatiently on the old worn oak banister. I knew she was irritated from her posture. Trying to hurriedly get to the bottom of the steps, I tripped as I neared the end, falling face first at her feet, my face colliding as it met the hard wood floor. A loud cracking noise came as I made full collision. Then everything went BLACK
*~*~*
I woke up with the taste of iron and throbbing pains in my face. What had happened?
I looked closer and came to find I was no longer in the house I was in some sterile room not a doctor's office though. Panic began to set in and I began to question everything.
"Sweetie you're awake." A nurse came in before she could finish her what she was saying.
"Hello," she said in a small voice while she entered the room.
She had a lot of tubes and syringes on a tray as she neared the bed it looks more of medications than anything that would help.
"I'm going to give you something to take the edge of alright?" She asked questioning if I was going to reply.
"Ummm... Whhaats going on?" I had so many questions "What happened?"
"My dear you fell," My *mistress* said in a voice a smooth as silk
"Then why am I here?" I questioned as the nurse put a small syringe of white cloudy liquid into my IV.
"My dear u fell broke your nose and you have a concussion." As she ended she began to softly stroke my hands as a way to comfort me which only made me on edge. I removed my hand from hers i reached up and began to touch my nose the was a large brace where it should be. I gasped as pain shot through my face as I touched it.
"Who are you?" I mumbled hoping she heard me.
"My name is Annabelle my dear , and there is no need to shy away i will not shout." She stated as she helped me get up and situated in the uncomfortably lumpy hospital bed.
"I'mm ....I'm sorry miss,it's just im so confused." I rambled on. She settled herself back on the chair ,before she answered she thought her answer through the look on her face then turned stern and serious scaring me.
"There is a lot you do not know and understand we will discuss this at the house when you are stable, just trust me you are safe now you need to rest." She handed me the remote to the TV and then left the room,and i began to fall asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next 2 weeks went by quickly ,but I still just wanted to go home. Anabelle visited every day checking to see my progress and how long until I could go back. Today was the day though i still wasn't ready to go back there she scared me this whole thing scared me. Would I ever go home?
We pulled up next to what looked like a cabin. A man was waiting to take the car somewhere like a garage i thought. Anabelle walked around the car she looked exhausted. She helped me out of the vehicle bringing me into the house bringing me into a small what looked to be guest bedroom. she brought me to the bed then left as i settled onto the bed i heard the clicking of nails against the wood which made me curious. As if fueling it she opened the door and a big oaf came in after her.
"MAXXXX!" i shouted with excitement he jumped onto the bed but she stopped him before he could get to my face.
"He will be staying here with you while i am takin care of business, i will be home every two hours to check on you the cell phone on the bedside table has my number programed in call whoever you want but only while I'm here understand?" She asked expecting an answer.
"Alright mistress., are you going to leave now?" I asked curious of what she was going to do.
"Sadly i will have to here soon you are free to explore as you want. Breakfast is on the counter," she continued, "oh dear its late i must go call if you need." With that she left and began to pack the things she needed.
as she left i went off to explore the cabin there were two doors to the left and one to the right as you stepped out into a small hallway. I decided to try the first on the left,it lead into a medium sized bathroom i i looked into the mirror in all honesty the best way to sum it up i looked like SHIT. I had bruises going up onto my cheekbones which felt like scorching flames when touched. I had large purple under eye circles from to much sleep. I decided not to shower due to the fact i had a cast so i decided to wait on Anabelle to come back. I brushed through my hair trying to make myself look a little decent,. I took one final look and left the bathroom to find the kitchen.
