The Bryne Runaways (Updated)

Chapter 60

I wait for Dr. Chris on the papered bed looking around the room with a bunch of medical appliances everywhere. I do also see the notebook that belonged to Dr. Meredith cracked open and on a specific page. When I thought I'm gonna wait for a long time I see Dr. Chris enter as he eats a green apple. He then greets me with his signifying smile that is so comforting and amusing.

"Good morning Norman, how you feeling?" He places his unfinished apple on the counter then right afterwards washes his hands.

"I'm fine" I say and Dr. Chris stands in front of me.

"Good, do you mind?" He asks wanting to see my wrist. I let him and he detaches the cast from my wrist gently. He puts on his glasses to take a closer look then feels around my wrist asking if it hurts or where the pain is at. Once he feels up the sprain part I wince at the pain resulting for him to be more cautious and delicate with his finger movements.

"It hurts there?" He asks with a concern face.

"A lot" I say and he lets go off my wrist.

"Well you gotta wear that cast for another couple of days, so you need to be careful with that especially when you're sleeping" He says and I nod my head.

"Let's move on shall we?" Dr. Chris says helping me put on the cast. After he's done he takes a seat on his moveable chair as I stare down at my cast. I really want to go back to bed. I'm tired and I can't take being awake this early.

"I was told that you have nightmares, is that true?" I hear him say and I'm shocked that he told me that because I really don't like discussing my deadly dreams with anyone. They disturb me way too much to say. I can feel it eating me away and soon it will kill me from insanity. Not too long from now.

"Norman?" I snap out of it, putting my attention to Dr. Chris who has been calling me multiple times.

"It's okay to talk about it with me" He says and I finally manage to speak to him about this personal problem.

"Yes, I have nightmares"

"What are they about?" He asks me.

"Everything" I stutter remembering what I've been through these past few days. The creatures, my parents and so much horrid memories. It's painful to watch and worse to be in. 

"Norman you're safe in here, no one will touch you" Dr. Chris tells me but am I really? Can the entire wolf pack keep me safe from what is after me?

I decided that I didn't want to talk about my nightmares to Dr. Chris because I feel like the more people I get involved in my problems parish with all the others who risked their life for me. I can't have that anymore. Dr. Chris went on with the session where he checked my well being. He told me that I'm a special boy and that I should be happy with myself. I didn't think I'm a special boy, I thought very different from him so I left when we were done with our session.

I enter office building where it is currently empty. I don't see anyone around. Henry is suppose to be here, he needs to assign me my first job. He said to come back here right after my daily. Where could he be? I look around the building but not to spot no one in here but a lot of interesting objects. I go over to this radio room that has a bunch of wires and cables going around the place. I haven't seen this room and the door is wide open. I'm curious. I think this is where Henry works and sends radio messages out. I look at his desk and a small specific picture catches my eye lying on the desk through some files.

It's an infant.

He probably had a child and I think he lost that poor angelic infant. I stare at the picture thinking sad thoughts about Henry losing his child.
