This is now

No More Pain

It's been a few weeks now sense my last mission. Tony hates me and Zack is keeping me away from Tony just so He doesn't try to kill me. But today I'm all alone in the house. Zack went out to some meeting with someone. He wouldn't tell me who but he said it was important and that I was to stay in the house until he gets home. So that means I can wander around the house for hours on end waiting for him to come back so I can leave. I would walk out and not tell him where I'm going but he would hunt me down. And when he finds me it wouldn't be pretty. But whatever, I have nothing to do so I guess it's time to mess with Zack's office and mess with his fancy guns.

I go upstairs to Zack's office and pick the lock on the door. He never leaves his office unlocked because he has a lot of important papers in there that if the wrong people got there hands on them bad things would happen.
I walk into the office and go to Zack's desk. I go though the papers laying about on the desk. I hear a small squeak from the floor boards downstairs. I know someone is in the house now. Zack would have called out if he was home. I quickly and quietly get out of the office and lock it. I pull my dagger from my belt and hold it in my hand as I quietly crawl down the stairs. I see no one in the living room. I go to the kitchen and see no one too. I go into the kitchen and look at the open cabinet. I go to the cabinet and close it. Someone grabs me from behind and stabs me in the gut. I yell out and swing around fast and slam my dagger into there neck. The attacker stabs me again aiming for my heart. I block them from hitting my heart but they get my right lung. I yell out and grab the knife from there neck and stab them in the heart. They go down hard. I don't know who it was but he had a snake tattoo on there wrist. I could see it peeking out from under there jacket. I stumble past the body laying on the kitchen tiles. I only get a foot past the doorway to the kitchen before I drop to the floor. My body was getting numb and weaker with every move I make. My world goes dark as my body gets colder and colder the more I bleed out.

I can feel my body being lift off the cold floor as if someone picked me up. I'm dead, I knew it. I wasn't going to live forever. I can't feel anything anymore, I can't move at all. No more pain.

Bright light is all around me, I can hear a light beeping to my right. I start to feel my body again. My fingers twitch as I open my eyes. It was too bright to be hell. The room I'm in is a hospital room. The walls are yellow and the ceiling is light blue with a large light on it. The window is to my left letting in the morning sun. To my right was the heart monitor, there was a chair next to me too. But no one was sitting in it.

I mumble and start to pull of the heart monitor wires off my chest. The monitor starts to go off and beep very loudly making the flat lining sound. Someone rushes into the room as I try to rip the IV out of my arm.

"No, Lucifer you're safe." The voice was Zack's voice. I look up at him. His hair was in his face, it wasn't slicked back like normal. His dress shirt was wrinkled and untucked. His eyes showed he was tired and hasn't slept.

"What happened?" I ask and try to sit up.

"Stop moving so much." Zack turned off the monitor. "You were stabbed."

"I know that." I start to cough like something was caught in my throat.

Zack helped me sit up as I cough. "Someone wanted papers that I had. You were just there. He wasn't targeting you."

"But what papers?" I asked and moved away from Zack.

"Important papers that I have. Don't worry about it. I've got this handled. You just need to heal." Zack says sitting down in the chair next to me.

"How long have I been out?" I ask and look at Zack.

"Only about a day. After surgery you've been out the whole day." Zack took my hand in his and rubbed my knuckles.

"Don't tell me you have feelings for me now." I mumble and look over at the window.

"I care about you. But I have to talk to you about something." Zack squeezed my hand.

"What is it?" I look back over at Zack.

"I have given you to a friend. I think you will like her. She's a nice girl." Zack looked me straight in the eye.

"You gave me away? Why?" I almost yell at Zack. I rip my hand away from him.

"Hey, calm down Lucy. I'm doing this for you. I think you will like your new friend. Please just calm down." Zack said looking at me.

"Fuck you." I rip the IV out and jump out of bed and run out of the room into the hallway. I make a mad dash to the emergency exit and run out the door. I run into an empty street and run fast and hard. I make it to an alleyway and climb the walls of the buildings around me and climb into the abandoned building from the busted out window. I lay on the floor as my body hurts. It feels like i ripped something opened. I'm too tired to care anymore. Why should I care anymore. Zack is getting rid of me. Why does anything matter anymore. I mumble to myself and fall asleep in the cold building.
