Pharaoh's Queen

Untitled Part 41

Christine's eyes flew open and she shot out of bed in a panic. As she realized that there were restraints she quickly pulled them off and gasped for air. Pain was coursing through her body, but she ignored it. it was only a dull ache. 

"are you ok?" 

Christine looked over to see Derek was standing there staring at her with a worried look on his face. 

"D-derek" she stammered out. 

"yeah, that's me. you took quiet a blow to the head, we were worried" Derek explained. Christine looked around quickly. 

"JJ where is JJ?" Christine asked. 

"Down stairs getting some food" Derek replied. Christine looked over at him as her eyes flashed. 

"tell me the truth" She snarled. 

"That is the truth" Derek replied looking surprised at the hostility. Christine pulled the IV out of her arm causing blood to pour out of the hole that had been created to put it in.  

"Whoa hey! Calm down psycho!" Derek exclaimed trying to stop her. Christine side stepped and kicked his feet out from under him causing him to fall over. With out looking back she locked her self in the bathroom.

Christine glanced around the room looking for anything that she could use.

There wasn't that much. She groaned as she covered her face with her hands. *I need to get out of here* she thought to her self.

'use the shadows' a small voice in the back of her mind, that sounded oddly like Silverstream, whispered.

She shook her head. "No" she replied firmly.

'use the shadows'

"STOP IT" Christine screamed as she fell to the floor. "LEAVE ME ALONE"

"Christine open the door or im kicking it in"

Christine froze, the voice wasn't Silverstream....it was Walker.

'They are coming to take you, use the shadows to make your escape'

"SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP LEAVE ME ALONE! I WONT DO IT. I WONT" Christine sobbed as she curled up on the floor.

The door slammed open and hit the wall hard.

Christine didn't look up, she didnt even move when she felt someone picking her up.

"It's ok Christine, none of it is real" she heard someone talking, but who it was wasn't registering in her mind.

She tensed up feeling the person putting her down on the bed. She grasped hold of their shirt tightly as a nurse came into view with a syringe.

"No..no" Christine struggled trying to get away from the nurse. "Stay away from me!" She warned in a threatening time.

"It's going to help you get some rest" Walker spoke again.

"I don't want rest! I want you to leave" Christine hissed in a cat like way. She couldn't help but feel like a cat getting ready to fight another cat.

She watched with wide eyes as Walker motioned for the nurse to leave, but even after the nurse left, she didn't relax. She did, however, curl up to him tightly with tears streaming down her face.

She couldn't stop thinking about how she almost fell for Zorc's trap again. She felt weak.

*Ever since the pharaoh came into town I've been an emotional wreck!* She thought sadly. She looked up at Walker surprised that he hasn't moved yet.

He didn't look as if he wanted too either

"Are you ok?" Christine asked softly.

"Nothing I can't handle, just a sprang" Walker replied in a flippant tone.

"I'm surprised you got a sprang" Christine said trying to joke. "Aren't you supposed to be invincible or something?" She questioned.

"No one is invincible" Walker replied sounding amused.

"Not what Bella says" Christine mumbled fighting sleep. "Where Derek go?" She asked with a yawn.

"Getting his arm checked over" Walker replied. Christine looked up at him again with confusion etched in her eyes.

"You cut him with your claws" Walker replied as Christine's eyes went as wide as saucers. "He wasnt going to but after I told him about the poisons he high tailed it out of here" he added.
