The Teachers Assistant

chapter 13 part 1

I awake to something cold. I slowly open my eyes as I feel a terrible headache coming on. I put my hands to my head where the source of the coldness was and discover an ice pack on my head. I immediately fling my hands to my belly and discover I am naked. Well not completely naked I mean I still have my bra on that I can feel but my underwear was gone. What the...

"Hey, whoa... I'll go get you a... a... something...” he says.

I just lie there and I soon discover my legs aren't moving. I start freaking out and sit up or at least try to but I can't because my body won't let me. I don't understand what is going on right now. I'm still on the couch but I'm naked and somewhat paralyzed. I can still move my arms and head just not my legs and torso. I touch my belly again and am pleased to discover it is still hard and round. I sigh then try to relax just a little.

I feel something cover me and I relax even a little more. I look over to see a guy... wait a minute I knew that guy. He was, oh man who was he? My eyes go wide with horror. He was the guy my brothers brought down in chains and locked up down here.

"Hey Eve, I'm Ma- Mark. I know you’re probably alarmed as to why I'm down here and not chained up. Also your probably wondering why you’re paralyzed and naked well I do have an explanation for that, I promise.” he says sitting on the coffee table in front of me.

He does look familiar like very familiar but I can't place him. I mean of course he was that guy wrapped in death chains my brothers brought home but now getting a good look at him I notice he looks even more familiar. Also he did have the same name as Mark, but still who was he?

"So like I said I'm Mark. I've been living down here for a while. It turns out I wasn't the bad guy so your brothers unchained me. They just can't figure out how to let me out of here. You’re naked because you started bleeding. Don’t worry from what I can tell the baby is fine but you shouldn't do what you were doing. I changed you also because you started sweating profusely and were literally dripping. I stripped you, turned the fan on, put an ice pack over your head then injected you with some meds to help get your temp to drop. I think you contracted some virus. I don't know. You know you’re just beautiful." he says touching my cheek.

I slap his hand away and look at him closely. Aha he looked familiar because he had the same eyes as Mark the ones that changed from blue to Grey nonstop.

"Is there any chance you’re related to Mark Jackson?" I ask. I mean it was bothering me and I had to know.

I know I shouldn't be talking to a potential killer and all but he seemed harmless and I couldn't move to save my life, so I might as well enjoy the company and make the best out of the situation.
