Catch me if you can

chapter 68

Martina

*I woke up, feeling the headache got worse. I can't feel my legs, arms. Not a single inch of my body. I slowly looked around, noticing that I am alone in this room. Great. I can rest. But... where is Valeria?*

V: Oh, you're awake! How do you feel? Is it better?

*I shook my head slightly because I wasn't able to talk.*

V: Is it worse? Oh well... you will get better soon.

*And the room fell in silence. I observed the surrounding again until the door opened. And they brought in a bed with another person. I didn't have strength to ask and Valeria just stood over and stared without a word. They uncovered the sheets and it was clear that the body belonged to a man. But I still couldn't see his face.*

V: Seems like you have a friend here.

*She said, looking at the bed*

V: It's gonna become fun soon.

*Just when he started moving. With every move there was a strange noise. Like... chains*

??: Where am I?

*The person said something to Valeria. But she just smiled and walked to me*

V: You're in the hospital my dear. Our own, special one. Oh look, your nurse is coming.

*She was right. The door opened and a woman came in.*

??: Oh, our two sunshines are awake!

*My already stiff body shrivelled when I recognised that voice. Who else than Stephie. But... if she is here... does that mean the person over there is...*

V: Jorge recovered fast. He didn't even complain about the headache he must have now.

S: And our other friend?

*She said and looked at me with a devilish smile. I opened my mouth to say something but I didn't get to say more than a few words*

M: Why... is this happening

V: She is in a worse state.

S: Good.

*Finally Jorge got the idea of raising his head and looking at me. His expression was shocking. He looked at me as if I was a corpse.*
