Tris The Lost Criminal

Chapter 8: It's Fine It's Only A Flesh Wound

The group start to get to work quickly and just before Lynn cuts my wrist I hear Zeke ask where Tris and Uriah are but only this time he get a response. "We're here, calm down"...

Walking through the roller doors Uriah and a girl, duck under the half open door. The girl then turns not really paying any attention to anything or the people inside. She then crouches down to the floor to pull the remainder of the door to meet the floor closing the gap between. As she gets up she finally turns to us not really looking at anyone but at her knees that she's dusting off with her hands.

Finishing she looks up for a brief moment and her eyes lock with mine. Looks like a deer caught in head lights as she stares back at me. We stare at each other for what seems like forever but could only be for a couple of minutes until I feel a sharp pain go through my arm. Suddenly I look down to see the knifes blade still inside me and Lynn as she said her name was, is still slicing through my skin.

I let a pained groan as the adrenaline that was pumping through my veins has faded. I look up from my arm to the ceiling and I can feel the blood pouring out from my arm. I scream lightly when the blades yanked from my arm and the now fresh wound is stretched to support the tweezers that are now being placed into my arm. I look down breathing heavily and huffing out breaths as I lock eyes with the girl again. She looks at me with pity as I can now hear Zeke who was also huffing start to scream. He throws his head back in pain and I know how he feels.

The girl who I'm still staring at moves towards me as I let out another scream as the metal in my arm is tugged. She moves closer to me and rests her hand on the opposite arm that's not being cut open. She tells me to concentrate on her and for once I just can't I let out another scream as the metal is pulled harder and I hear Zeke call out in the same tone. Shauna is trying to comfort him and I think it helps because he makes a 'uh ha' sound as he shakes his head fiercely. All of a sudden the pain stops and I look to my arm to see nothing but blood and large pieces of open flesh. The blood In my arm is dripping in a small puddle on the floor and its running freely off the ends of my finger tips.

Panting I tilt my head to the side and breath a sigh of relief until Lynn tells the guy cutting Zeke open, say they have to cut around it. I sigh loudly as she grabs the knife again and starts to cut again. I cry out in pain louder as the tissue she's cutting into is still tender from the last round with the knife. I look over to Zeke to see that his passed out from the pain and I know that soon I'm going to follow suit. I grip the thing that's closest to me and I didn't realise I had grabbed a hand. I look up to the owner only to see the blonde girl that walked in with Uriah.

She smiles at me slightly as the pain in my arm starts up again. I break my stare from her to my arm and see in the final moments of Lynn yanking out the blinking piece of metal from my arm. It's covered in blood and had bits of my arm still left on it from where she had cut sound it. She drops it in to a metal tray and puts the tweezers down.

Picking up the band of stitching wire she unravels a small section before threading it through the needle. She try's several times before she gets it though. Her hand still stained from my blood even through she's washed her hands several times to get rid of it. I huff as the tip of the needle goes through my arm and I grip tightly to the girls hand making it turn a light shade of white before looking over to her still panting to see her smiling at me but just enough for me to notice. Several minutes have passed and I'm ready to give up. The sweat on my forehead is making my hair stick to my face and the blood that is still soaking my arm as now dried on the out sides leaving only the centre of the wound still leaking slightly through the stitches.

Breathing a sigh of relief I close my eyes I turn my head to the side dropping it on my shoulder. Opening my eyes I notice the girl still hasn't left my side but also hasn't said anything about it this whole time. But as I start to feel my eyes get tired I stare into her blue grey eyes until I can no longer hold mine open and fall into a darkness...

Next time... Hehe spoiler just for you guys...

"I thought I would never see you again" she looks up at me through glassy eyes, "Do you think you will ever remember" I don't answer. As I look up to her it's like she can read my mind "I'm sorry I can't" she stutters as she rises from her chair and walks out of the room leaving me wondering what I did until the door opens and I'm left stunned...
