Ashes of the Innocent

Revelations

"Ava," someone whispered.

The words hung in the air in an eery silence.

I softly opened my eyes and peered around the room.

I sat up and looked around the room.

The room was mostly dark so it was hard to see.

I squinted my eyes and tried to find who had whispered.

"Ava," the voice whispered again.

My head snapped to my right and I came face to face with two piercing blue eyes.

I gasped and a hand covered my mouth muffling my scream.

"Ava, I'm so sorry I scared you!" she whispered.

She slowly and catiously removed her hand from my mouth.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered.

A look of sadness washed over her face and her eyebrows furrowed.

"I wanted to apologize to you." she said.

I grew confused.

Why would the nurse apologize to me?

"Why are you apologizing?" I whispered.

Regret seemed to cloud her features and she seemed as in a trance.

" I was the one who got you into this situation on the first place," she whispered.

Suddenly a look of anger and hurt filled her features.

"But you deserved it, Ava. You did something really horrible," She said her voice elevating," You backstabbed me! I thought you were my friend! Friends don't backstab their friends!"

I shrinked into the bed.

What was she talking about?

"You put me in here?" I whispered softly.

She looked at me with a look of accomplishment and smiled sickly.

"Yes,Ava. I thought you would have died with the first whiffs of that gas. But somehow you seemed to survive!" she screamed.

I couldn't help but wonder where the other nurses were.

Couldn't they hear her screaming at me?

My fingers itched towards the call button.

" They're all gone Ava. Nobody can come and save you now," And with that she gave out a bone chilling laugh.

Shivers ran down my spine and I grew concious of how close she was to me.

She pulled a long sryinge filled with a crystal clear liquid.

I felt my eyes grow wide and I tried backing away from her.

She smiled at me and started to advance towards me.

I tried to leap out of bed and was held back.

"You're not going anywhere except for hell!" she screamed.

I felt a sharp prick on my arm.

I gasped and felt myself feel woozy.

The room started to blur and I felt my head snap back.

Images started to blur in front of me.

When Aimee and I had first met.

How Adrian had kissed me after he told me he loved me.

The time when I found Aimee kissing Adrian.

Our breakup.

The time when Adrian had slapped me for telling Aimee.

Aimee had it all wrong.

Everything seemed to come into place and my strength started evaporating.

It felt like a fire was gnawing my bones out and letting me burn.

If this was actually death it was extremely painful.

"Aimme," I whispered.

Then everything went black.
