Karma

Chapter 20

Here's another long chapter! I hope you enjoy.

"What do you mean J–my father hasn't responded yet?" Strange, usually John would come right away to put face. He would never do anything to make it look like he didn't care about me.

"Don't worry about it sweetheart, I'm pretty sure your father is very busy! And until we can get to him, I'll be the one who'll be taking care of you at the moment." Mrs. King said, giving me a soft smile.

"Now everyone let's give Miss Swift some room to breathe. I'll check up on you later." The doctor said as he ushered everyone out. He closed the door, leaving me alone.

I looked around the room, studying it. Looks just like the last room, huh? How many times have I've been sent here? It gotta be at least 15... Let me think, the last time I was sent here John broke my arms for the fifth time. I think that was just two months ago. Why isn't Dr. Bella here though, isn't she my doctor?

I sighed and stared at the tv above me. Shadow was once again, nowhere to be found. What the hell did you do to me Sha? You promised you wouldn't do anything to me... liar.

I closed my eyes, taking a nap.

I woke up as the doctor entered my room, followed by a nurse carrying a clipboard. "Hello there Miss Swift, I hope you had a happy little nap. Now may I ask you a few questions?" He asked, taking the clipboard from the nurse and pulling a chair next to my bed.

"Sure." I responded, trying not to move too much as pain filled my body.

"Now Miss Swift, it says here that you've been at the hospital quite frequently for the past five years. You've suffered through many broken bones or deep cuts, is that true?"

"Yeah, I guess you can say I'm really clumsy."

"Mhm, how are you feeling?"

"I guess I'm feeling better than before, but it hurts to move."

"I'm glad you're feeling a little better and don't worry about the pain, that's normal. If you want, we could give you some pain medication?"

I finally was able to sit up without causing too much pain. I looked out my window, staring at the morning sun. It's already morning, god time flies by so fast here. I hate these hospital gowns. Their so short and uncomfortable. Usually Shadow would be here to entertain me... Ugh, I have to talk to the police todaaayyy. God I hate talking to those guys, it always feels weird and it makes me feel like me existing is bad.

Oh speak of the devils! They're here already! The door to my room opened and two police officers came in. I let out a bored sigh and turned to face them. "Hello there Miss Swift, we apologize for disturbing you so early in the morning. I am Officer Darren and this is my partner Officer Steven. We have a few questions for you then we'll be on our way."

"Ask away." I said, trying not to sound bored or disrespectful.

"Now Miss Swift, can you tell us what exactly happened yesterday?"

"Well, I was watching tv at my friend's home since I was staying there for a week or two. Well anyway, I kept feeling like there was... someone or something watching me. I told David, who was sitting next to me at the time and then he told me to go upstairs. I went upstairs to hang out with Emilia, his sister. And for some dumb reason I decided to go on a walk. And after that... I can't remember. I think I blacked out around the time I left the front porch."

"Mhm, do you at least remember how you got in that alleyway? Do you remember what your attacker looks like?"

I shook my head. "I'm sorry, but I can't remember anything after I left the door. And lately, I've been blacking out a lot. So I guess that would explain somethings."

"And you still decided to go out? Now Miss Swift you remember you're clothes being caked in blood?"

"Well yeah, it seemed like a lot of blood considering some of my cuts weren't too deep either."

"Well Miss Swift, that's because some of that blood isn't yours. After we brought it to the station to get it tested, it seems that some of the blood wasn't yours. In fact, it was your father's."

I stared at them in surprise. How could John have possibly done this to me?! Shadow would've done something to at least stop me from meeting with him? Unless Shadow took his blood and put it on my clothes...

"Now, I know that this might be a shock, but please understand we're going to have to put your father in our custody until we can prove him innocent."

I stared blankly at them, trying to wrap my brain around it and nodding at their words.
