Song: Need you now by Plumb
Warning...this part my cause some triggers...if you need to skip over it I totally understand. The dark shadow has taken over completely.
He is control now...not me.
The dark shadow forces his demands over me. I am his prisoner. I haven't been out of the cabin what seem like forever. I have no idea how long I have been locked away...in the bathroom. I am too scared to open the door. I hear the nails scratching into the wood of the door. I hear the deep growling of the creature dying to get to me. It is his way of keeping me locked in here. He knows that I will never open the door as long as I know that thing is out there.
My stomach is getting use to the empty feeling. I can't recall the last time I actually had a bite of anything. Matter of fact my body is so dehydrated. I am barely living off the water from the faucet from the tub. I know it's not much but it keeps me going. It's not like I am using up any energy anyway. All I do is sit in the tub...
During the day I dose off and sleep most of the day away. When I am awake I watch the bugs and spiders crawl all over the walls. At times they crawl on me and I flick them off. I'm itching to death again...scratching up my skin. I am starting to go raw. I know I need help. But I will never get it. The only one that can help me is him and he wants me dead. He wants me to be with him in his world...the world of the unknown.
I am too weak to stand up and move. So when he yells at me to get up and get the knife...razor or even the broken piece of mirror laying on the floor...it's no use. I just want to be left alone. I have tried to tune him out but nothing works.
"Sophie...they are here...wake up. They are coming to get you." He bellows loud enough to jolt me awake.
I look around and I hear noises in the cabin. I whisper, "They...who...who is coming to get me?"
"They will take you away from me. You have to do it now...NOW SOPHIE...NOW!!!"
I force myself to wake up, looking around the room. I try to be quite as I stretch my arms out along the floor to get to the broken piece of mirror. My body aches all over. I almost have it.
"Pick up the piece now...you are wasting time...do it now."
I look up into his eyes glaring back at me. I don't know which would be worse...going with him or having them take me away from him. Even if they do...he will still be there because there is no escaping from him.
I scoot over just enough to touch the piece and slide it closer to me. Once back all the way in the tub I quietly close the curtain. I lean back against the shower wall and close my eyes for a second."Sophie...Sophie....wake up...they are here." He says at the same time there is a knock at the door. "Do it Sophie."
I hold the piece in my hand and shine it up in my face to see my reflection. I have no clue who the girl is that looks back at me...it's not me. I am so done. I just can't hold on any longer. I play with the piece in my hands and before too long it cuts deep into my skin. I watch as I start to leak out...there is a small pool of blood at the bottom of the tub surrounding my feet...my bottom...I barely hear them knocking...I barely hear their voices now.
I look up and he is smiling back at me. "You did it...you are going to be free now...you are coming home with me." He tells me...I watch his lips continue to move...but now I don't hear him either...and darkness surround me. Is this it...
Bryce Ledlow's POV:
I bend over to pull her up in my arms. There is so much blood and she is unresponsive. I check for a pulse and nothing. I click the walkie talkie... "Send in the crew...she's might not making it out this time."
I hold and pray that she will be alright. I don't think she really means to hurt herself like this. I know the voice tell her to and it's so messed up that she has to live this way. I hear them come from the front door and Liz and I both yell at the same time. "In here."
I help pull her out and lay her on the floor. The guys start pumping her chest giving her CPR. Shouting out to each other...pump her a few more times, check her heart rate. Then they get out the defibrillator and I watch as they give her a dose of the electric current to shock her heart.
The first time doesn't work however the second time the one guy says they got a pulse.I help load her onto the stretcher and carry her out to the ambulance.Hours later we are all waiting to see what the doctors have to say.
I watch as her mother cries in the chair in the far corner. I tried talking to her when she first came but she is so upset with everything that is going on. I get it...I do...if she was my little girl I would be upset too.
The main doors open and the doctor walks out and towards Mrs. Baxter. I stand up and stand behind her. Hell I am just as concerned as she is. "Mrs. Baxter...hi I'm Doctor Wang...your daughter Sophie is stable for now. However she is in coma. I'm not sure how long she was without oxygen; therefore if she wakes up we will not know how much damage she has done to the brain. I'm sorry that I can't give you more information."
"Can I see her?"
"Yes follow me."
I shake the doctor's hand before they walk away. "Thanks for helping her." Then I turn to her. "If you need me for anything please don't hesitate to call me."
I was surprised that she stopped and gave me a hug.
Jessica's POV:
I don't know what to do for her anymore. I have tried everything. I have tried getting her the help she needs. I have tried everything. I don't know what else to do. I stand out in the hallway with the doctor and he looks over at me with a kind smile.
"She is in there." He points to the room in front of us. "Remember she is alive...she is healing...she is going to be ok."
"What do I say to her?"
"Just be positive...talk to her as much as she wants. They say they can still hear you even if she doesn't respond."
I nod and take a deep breath then open the door slowly. I walk in with my eyes closed...scared to see her. As I get closer to the bed, I look up and see my baby girl. They have her all bandaged up and tubes going this way and that. She looks so fragile, so much thinner than the last time we were here. My legs shake under me so much that I have to sit down in the chair beside her bed. I reach out to her and grab her hand.
"My sweet girl...mommy is here now, everything is going to be alright." Tears roll down my cheek. "God I love you so much...so much I wish I could take the pain away. I wish I could fight your demons. I never wanted anything to every happen to you. God I wish I could have protected you."
I glace up hoping to see her looking back at me but nothing...she is just laying there lifeless...these machines are what keeps her going. I wonder if I should help her end her misery...should I tell them just to take her off all the support and see what happens. Should I let her continue to live life with all the voices and bad thoughts that flood her mind? I want to do what is right...but I love her and I don't think that I can let her go that easily.
