You Are My Sunshine

In the shower, Nicky had just washed her mane of hair and was now drying off. Once she was dry she slipped back on her prison uniform and headed over to the sinks. She was looking at herself in the mirror when she saw a familiar face staring from behind her. Nicky turned around and looked her square in the eye.

"Can I help you?" She asked argrily.

"Actually you can," replied Vee. She sounded so calm that it sent shivers down her spine.

"I need you to tell me how your Mommy smuggles her items in." Nicky took a moment before replying, wanting to choose her words carefully.

"I wouldn't know." She shrugged. The two looked at each other before all of a sudden Vee pushed Nicky back against the wall.

"Tell me how she gets it in, and no one gets hurt," seethed Vee as she pulled out a knife and put it up against Nicky's throat. Nicky began to breath heavily. She desperately wanted someone to walk through the door about now.

"I told you, I don't know how she does it!" She yelled. She would often suppress her anger or nervousness into yelling.

"Fine," said Vee. For a moment Nicky thought that was going to be the end of it and she relaxed slightly, but it wasn't.

"If your not going to help me then I guess I don't need you anymore." Vee pulled the knife away and went to push it into Nicky's chest. Before she could Nicky pushed Vee out of the way. Vee's head fell back and Nicky began to run but before she could get to the door Vee pulled her back. The two fought for a good few minuets before Vee called for Crazy Eyes. Crazy Eyes walked in holding a long chain. She chucked it to Vee who nodded and Crazy Eyes walked back out. Vee flung the chain behind Nicky and started to strangle her. Nicky began to choke.

It had been around a minuet and Vee was still strangling Nicky. Nicky's legs gave way and she fell to the floor. Vee released the chair from around her neck and pulled out the knife once again. She stabbed Nicky in her left hip. Nicky quickly turned around trying to get away put Vee held her still with one hand. with the other she stabbed Nicky in the right side, and again, and again, and again. Vee moved away and dropped the knife next to Nicky. Vee began to violently kick Nicky in the face and all over the rest of her body. Nicky sobbed quietly. She tried to move into the fetal position to protect herself slightly but she was too sore do do anything. She was clutching her right side and was covered in blood everywhere. Vee crouched down and moved over to Nicky's ear.

"Next time you might tell me rather that keep it to yourself. Although to be honest you probably won't live to see another day but in the sad case that you do you wont tell anyone about this or I will make sure you die this time." Vee punched Nicky hard in the nose and left.

Nicky was left slowly dying on the floor surround in a pool of blood. She had almost given up hope when she could hear the faint sound of two pairs of foot steps enter the bathroom.

"Help." However it came out as merely a whisper. She tried again and again and again but had no luck. Just as she almost gave up hope she saw Red and Norma by the sink. She gave one final effort in her cry for help, knowing if this didn't work she would definitely die alone on the prison bathroom floor.

Just as she thought she failed Red looked down at her. Instantly her face fell.

"Norma, get help. Go now," she screamed, falling to her knees beside Nicky. The mute nodded furiously before rushing out, trying to find help.

"Nicky honey, oh whatever happened to you?" Nicky shook her head. Red had tears falling from her face as she took in her daughters multiple stab wounds. She knew she should've tried to find something the cover her wounds with but there were so many she wouldn't know where to start. So instead she decided to hold her daughter in the hope that Norma would come back with help sooner rather than later.

"It's okay Nicky. Norma has gone to get help. She'll be back soon." Red really didn't know if Norma would be back soon but she said it anyway, more to convince herself rather than Nicky.

Red could tell Nicky was getting tired.

"Keep your eyes open Nicky. Come on, you have to keep your eyes open. Please for me," she pleaded. She already felt like she had lost her three boys, they never really visited anymore, so she couldn't loose her daughter too.

"Think about when we both get out of her Nicky." Red attempted to keep Nicky awake, knowing that as soon as her eyes closed, they would never open again.

"We can get a dog like you want to. You'll wake up in the morning and I will have a cooked breakfast and a coffee waiting for you. Then come evening, after I've closed the shop for the night, you and me will sit down and eat a meal together. Watch one of the shows you always talk about. Please Nicky. Think of that. You can't leave me now."

Red's sobs became louder. Nicky reached up a blooded, weak hand to Red's cheek and wiped away her tears.

"You can't let go Nicky." Nicky looked at Red and Red knew instantly that it was her way of telling her she would fight. Red knew Nicky was strong and by the look of some of the marks Nicky had, she had tried to fight back against whoever did this to her.

"Sing to me Mummy," Nicky pleaded in a hushed whisper. Red nodded and took a second to think of the perfect thing to sing. When she did, she lowered herself closer to Nicky's ear and began to sing as Norma came back in with two COs and three medical staff. Red knew that now, Nicky had a fighting chance.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine."

So the first part I just took directly from Revenge is sweet but changed it slightly as I wrote it a while ago and it didn't flow very well. Please comment and let me know what you thought. Thanks!
