Bloody Regrets (Hannibal Fan Fiction)

Hysteria & Rotting Flesh

Screams ripped through the halls like the madness that created them. Her body fought against the five men pinning her to the hospital bed. Fear and pure hysteria consumed her eyes. Restraints were necessary at this point, but their patient wasn't going to make it easy.

Eila was discovered only hours earlier in a broken down house somewhere out in the boondocks. A routine drug bust brought the authorities to the strangely empty space. It was the stench that directed them to her containment. A single door that was locked, bolted, and nailed shut.

When opened one of the officers vomited upon the floor from the smell alone, however they were quickly frightened by a girl screaming.

Within the small room they found her. In the corner with her back pressed to the walls and her knees held to her chest. Three lumps of flesh were resting on the floor which were covered in a liquid that was a mix of rotting flesh, blood, and bile. Eila was covered in it.

Here she was now thrashing at the restraints screeching to the heavens to the point that doctors thought she was going to tear something.

Sedation.

"Dr. Alana Bloom is unavailable Sir." one of the nurses whispered.

"Is there anyone else?"

"I can see, but no promises. There isn't even any dental records on her, I doubt she even has parents."

"Just find someone!" He snapped.

Will Graham was far too uneasy about the whole thing. It just didn't seem right. There should have been more to this than what had been found, but in this state there was no way for him to even speak with her.

"Will" Lecter called calmly from behind. "Are you alright?" Will could feel him scanning over him quickly making thousands of mental notes in seconds about himself. Lecter had always been like this, had the ability to just read people like casually passed notes.

"I'm fine" he responded trying to convince himself mostly.

"Mind if I take a look?" Hannibal asked nodding his head in the direction of Elia's room.

"If they will let you, be my guest. Though I doubt she will talk to you." He sighed. Lecter responded with a soft smiled and walked in.

Currently no one was holding the female's body as the restraints were just enough. One of the nurses rushed by with the medication that was to put her to sleep. Still she continued to scream that is until the 'Good Doctor' leaned over her.

With the sudden silence everyone turned to see their eyes locked. The monitor showed how her heartbeat had quickened.

Lecter was taking in her features now. She had almond shaped eyes that were colored like clear sky and her hair a dirty red mixed with hints of brown. Eila's skin was rather pale but then again she had been in that room for god knows how long.

Hannibal reached out slowly and yet the girl still flinched at his movements. With her distracted the nurse filled the hysterical patient's IV with blissful drugs. Her eyes went wide suddenly realizing everything was about to go black. Lecter's hand came to rest upon her forehead as his thumb ran down and over her temple gently moving strands of hair out of her face. Elia's eyes rolled back before forced sleep set in.

"Sir, are you with Dr. Bloom?" The nurse asked timidly.

"No, but I do work in a similar field." he stated

"Oh..Well....I know this might come off as strange but we really need someone to consent to her treatment, and she has no parents that we know of a-"

"So you would like to ask me to temporarily be her guardian?"

"Please." She smiled giving a small nod.

"As long as you will allow me to try and help her myself. A young girl like this might benefit from a few session in my office."

"Thank you so much, I'll go get the papers right now. Just give me a moment."
