Claire's Dream

I always loved it here. My favourite place in the whole world. I realized I wasn't actually here and started to wonder if I was actually dead and this was heaven. When I was just five years old my mum used to bring me to this park that was at the end of a long field that held a cricket field and a small football pitch. There was a patch in the corner where bonfires were held every year as we watched a huge firework display as I sat on my grandads shoulders. My family was so happy back then. I smiled to myself as I felt my bare feet against the soft freshly cut grass. Such a heavenly smell. The birds were singing, the sun was bright and allowed heat to settle on my face as I looked up at the white fluffy clouds and blue sky. Looking back down at my feet as I started to walk slightly fast through the field towards the swings I started to notice something. I was in a hospital gown and my legs looked battered yet I could feel no pain. I stopped walking and paused to lift my hands and arms to see the state of them only to shriek on complete horror. My fingers formed red rings on one hand and blood started to pour out from the rings and the tips dropped off to the floor turning black within seconds. I started to step backwards in horror as I watched bruises start to spread up my arms and gashes suddenly appear. Flesh in small areas started to tear off on it's dropping to the floor. I fell backwards to the floor as my leg broke in front of my own eyes. huge holes appeared suddenly and almost black blood gushed out of the wounds leaving me wide eyed gasping trying to scream but only gargled noises left my throat. The sky started to cloud over abruptly with grey clouds which also started to turn black shadowing out any light leaving me terrified and helpless. 

Claire's POV

"ARGHHHHHH!"...I jolted up quick ready to fight off what ever was in the darkness with a gargled scream swinging my arms back and forth violently. I felt warm hands grab my arms gently. "Shhhhh...It's ok you're safe now" Before I got a chance to look at who it was he pulled me into his arms and I opened my eyes fully to be blinded by the bright light filling the room. "Zack?" I tried to ask but hardly anything left my mouth. "Don't try to talk, your throat is badly burnt and you will just cause more harm". Pulling away and sitting on the bed next to me his beautiful green eyes stared back at me. I smiled as tears poured down my cheeks happy to see him one again. "I will be right back just going to tell the doctor you have woken up" He smiled kissing me on the forehead as he left the room. I realized I was in the hospital while in his arms but finally took a moment to look around the room. Beeps and clicking noises were going on all around me. I saw a drip attached to my arm and reached across to try and read what was on the tag attached to the cable when I noticed my hand. It was bandaged up fully but no fingers just a thumb. I slowly pulled my arm back my hand towards my face looking in horror. It finally hit me that everything that had happened really did happen. Shaking almost violently I slowly pulled the sheet back to look at my legs to see one in a cast and the other with a mettle cage around it with pins sticking into my leg. I was in a state yet felt no pain. I was clearly in shock or drugged up to high heaven. I examined the rest of my body searching for any signs of anything he could of done to me that I was not conscious for. I noticed the stab wound in my arm had been stitched up and then realized my wounds looked a lot cleaner than they should do. How long had I been out for?

"Hi Claire I am Doctor Shepard" A women smiled walking into the room in a white Doctors coat with Zacky in tow. "You don't need to talk just nod or blink which ever is comfiest for you ok?" I watched as she checked the bag I was attached to and turned to sit in the seat next to my bed scootching up closer to me. "How are you feeling? Any pain? Nausea? Struggling to see or hear?" I stared back at her with a confused look on my face as she looked up from her pen and clipboard smiling back at me. A few seconds passed and then she realized I had been looking at my legs and hand and grabbed the blanket to pull it back over me. "It must be really hard what you went through. You must be feeling mixed emotions right now and we are going to do everything to try and help you so no need to feel frightened ok?" She said sympathetically standing to her feet pulling a stethoscope from her neck and reaching across to hear my breathing. I did not want anyone touching me so I shuffled back knocking her hand out of the way at the same time. She jumped shocked clearly not expecting em to react that way but I was angry I wanted revenge not help. Jamie had ruined my life I didn't know if I would ever walk again or even talk again. I loved to sing and play guitar and even though it was small things I hated him for it.
