The Augustine

CHAPTER-19

I placed Jacob's head on the ground and started to run away from them. Sushant threw that knife which had directly pierced my left knee. I fell down and I felt dizzy, my eyes closed automatically even without my knowledge, and I became unconscious. I opened my eyes and I was in a bed. My hands and legs were tied. I couldn't move. A guy came near me wearing a mask. He looked more like a doctor, but my instinct refused to accept him as a doctor. He took that knife and removed the cat's paw apart from its handle. When he removed I felt a drop of liquid touching my legs. I lifted my head to see what was it. It was a drop of blood. He took an injection and sucked the blood from the handle and the injection was now filled with that blood. He brought that injection near to my left shoulder, I screamed "No...stop." He didn't listen and he injected that blood inside my body. For a few minutes I didn't feel any change happening inside me. But then I felt my body burning from the inside. The pain was dreadful. I screamed, but no one cared to help me. It lasted for about 20 minutes. I felt sleepy. I heard some people saying "It worked. She can withstand it. Let's do this" I heard a voice, probably a female one, which said "She'll die. Doing this often would result in mental illness. She wouldn't be able to lead a normal life after this. Break this operation. Now." I tilted my head to the left. There was a clock which showed 2:00 AM and I dozed off. I woke up breathing heavily, and there I am, back at my room. My head was paining badly. I recognized Shushant attacking Jacob with that knife. How did he got that knife? I decided to ask him directly. I looked the clock and the time was 12:25 PM. "Wow...I slept for so long." I said myself. I went outside my room, Shushant was having juice, I went near him. "Hey...I was waiting for you for so long...but that's fine." He said. "yeah...I've been sleeping for such a long time....hey...do you mind if I ask you something?" I asked. He replied, "yeah sure..go ahead."
