MY BESTIE, MY MURDERER

Waking Up

Lucy found herself dressed in white sheer clothes lying in a white bed. The dress has simple round-collared, with buttons in the front, some simple designs covered it and was full sleeved. It was light weight and smooth, not a total see-through but it should've been a thicker fabric, modesty... you know. The walls were all pink and white. The atmosphere felt cozy and nice and she felt safe.

Where am I? Lucy tried to remember coming there.

Her head hurt as she tried to recall, she closed her eyes and tried to concentrate but saw nothing but darkness and felt nothing but unbearable sadness and pain. Name, her name, what was her name? She felt alone and unwanted, agonizing with the thought of not knowing her identity.

Suddenly she looked at her hands and was nearly shocked to death. She saw needles and tubes attached to backside of her palm; her left leg was plastered and numb. One white bandage was holding her left leg to a pole attached to the bead. She saw the monitors with black screen and fluorescent numbers, blinking and changing, strange lines meaning something she couldn't understand. What had happened to her? How had she hurt herself this much? Where were her parents, friends? Weren't they supposed to be with her? Who had brought her to this place? So many questions bubbled up in her head at once. For a moment she thought her head would burst due to the stress, she closed her eyes but that helped a little. Calm down! She ordered herself. She looked that a door with a small glass hole was there, she could imagine people outside that door, people that can tell her about herself, people that matter. Lucy then tried to get herself detached from some of the pipes, so that she could ask someone about her present situation. Suddenly, a buzzing alarm went off and a red light started blinking on the screen of the computer. She jerked herself off the bed and tried to run but instead she fell down in an awkward position. she had almost forgotten about her tied up left leg, it had prevented her from going any further and she hung up from that pole with leg upwards and head down with all her hairs flying down. An agonizing pain from her leg made her immobile, a painful shriek came out of her mouth and she felt her death was close.

Seconds later, Lucy saw some nurses and doctors rushed to her. She tried to say something but they forced her to lie down, when she struggled they injected her with something that made her awfully drowsy. She

She managed to choke out, "Where am I?" and then everything faded as she went back to the peaceful blackness.

Mark reached home tired and sluggish, all painted in red patches of Lucy's blood. He had dropped the girl to the hospital and was barely able to drive back home, so he had called his driver who had brought him back home. His driver had almost thought he had had met with some serious accident, but was finally reassured by Mark. Mark had a brief talk with Mrs. Williamson in the car about the situation. When he entered the house he just wanted a good bath, light meal and a decent sleep. His mother was not at home, she was in China for a two week long meeting, he remembered. Mark took a long hot bath and indulged himself in his favorite scent of black orchid and Juniper oil; he had had his personal servant prepare a light meal of chicken soup with all his preferred ingredients. He went to the dinner table and drank the soup while enjoying a light music. Mark decided to have a nice sleep afterwards and resume his duties as The President of Flamingoes' from the day after.

As he was going to bed he saw Tina entering through the main door, her face was full of anxiety and it was a pleasure to see her frightened for him. Someone had probably called his girlfriend and informed about his situation. She was wearing a LWD and was picture-perfect as always. Mark looked at her staring here and there searching for his sign, and then she called a servant and asked something. He waved to her and she looked upwards and noticed him. She quickly rushed up the stairs to him and embraced him in her slender arms.
