Best Enemies

Rubi

My head is spinning, aching, throbbing.

I can't see a thing and I can feel hot liquid pouring down my skull. I reach up to touch it, all sticky, think and warm. Blood, I think. My body feels like lead and the cold hard ground is littered with sharp minuscular objects. Like pieces of rust or screws that are digging into my body.

I clutch my hands together to stop them shaking, they are cold and dry. Suddenly a loud BANG makes my head sin around causing a pain in my neck. I am terrified to move or stay still. My eyes are wide with fright.

I try to back off into a corner but I am confined. There is no room. I am getting claustrophobic and start breathing frantically. The lights suddenly flash on, blinding my eyes and trigger an immediate headache. I keel over in pain and cover my eyes. A hand is grabbing at me. Pulling and pushing me around.

I wrench open my eyes and through my spotted, foggy vision I see a figure. Awkward middle length hair and a button up cardigan. Who would wear such a thing?! I abandon that thought as soon as a needle like pain shoots through my neck.

I look up slowly, expecting to see a spider or a rusty nail digging into my neck but the figure is hovering over me, with a real needle in hand. I manage to distinguish an evil grin and a small badge with a capital V in a circle.

Virot? Oh no... they've got me. I have to get out. I struggle to stand up but a heavy hand pushes me down.

My eyes adjust to the blinding light and I recognise the figure, and I am shocked. Never in my wildest dreams could I never have thought. Not even passed through my mind.

Virot has finally taken me down, not physically but mentally and emotionally. Now through my tears I see the face that I have come to know so well.

It's Shay!

Shay has gone against me and now is pinning me down, ready to kill me.

Suddenly my body goes limp and I pass out cold.
