Her Bite Sucks |✔

Norman's POV~

My eyes stared at the gray tiles as I walked down a white hallway. As I got to the end, tears formed in the corner of my eyes as my head turned to the side to a glass window.

There she was.

My poor sweet Elizabeth.

My heart ached as I saw her cuddling her knees to her chest, cradling back and forth with dull eyes staring back at me. Guilt washed over me that it took me long enough to have guts to come to the asylum she was in and see her in the state she was.

"Elizabeth your boyfriend is here to see you." The doctor from the other side of the glass window opened the door. I watched her as she frantically shook her head no and tried to hide herself as much as she could.

"Come to the glass dear." The doctor pointed towards the window I was staring at.

"I can't!" She screamed. "Can't you see I don't want to see anybody?!" Her face was reddening as she abruptly stood up to run out from the door. The doctor quickly wrapped his arms around her and held her in. He locked the door and disappeared leaving Elizabeth banging on the door. Minutes later the doctor appeared on the hallway I was in.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked holding back my voice from cracking.

"She's not good." He made his lips go straight. "If any she is only worsening."

"Shouldn't she be better already?"

"It takes time officer. What Elizabeth has experienced may take a while to cure her trauma."

"How long?" I was actually worried for the answer.

"Give it a break about a year or so."

"A year?!"

"About." The doctor added.

I glance back at Elizabeth who was back in her corner crying and laughing at the same time.

"I will never be the same." She sobbed while in full laughter.

"Have you caught the responsible for this?" The doctor asked.

"No. Not yet." I give a heavy sigh. "All I know it's somebody named Estefano."

"Estefano what?"

"I have no clue. I only saw his shadow jump off the window when I found Elizabeth."

"Then how come you know its name is Estefano?" The doctor slightly frowned trying to understand the situation.

Dare lay a finger on Elizabeth and you are going to pay dearly...

I remembered when I threatened Valerie once.

Me? What about Estefano?

Her evil grin was fresh in my mind as her words escaped from her red lips. Either she hired someone to do the job for her or....

"You know anybody by the last name Edenfield?" I asked curiously to the doctor.

"Hmm now that you mention it, I think I've heard the last name before." The doctor gestured for me to follow him and I obeyed as he took me to the lobby. He placed his weight on his arm as he leaned on the lobby desk where a nurse was typing in her computer. He whispered something to her and she quickly handed him a yellow folder.

"Lucky you," The doctor slowly looked up at me. "I may have the answer for you." He slowly handed me the yellow folder. Just when I grabbed it, fear ran through my veins at what I was about to see.
