"just because you can't see him, doesn't mean he's not real!"
"where is he?! what have you done to him?! johnny! johnny please!"
"don't do it kenz..i'm here. i was always here. you just, couldn't see me"
"i'm gonna get you out of her...
only what she's feeling gets buried on the inside, until it has no other place to hide.
mackenzie's eyes slowly opened to reveal a dark room. she was too scared to look any further so she kept her head down.
she saw her feet and arms strapped down to a metal table, as it was lifted in the air. one light was shining down on her body.
mackenzie was scared, she was cold and everything about this place sent chills up her spine.
a faint sound was heard in the distance, it grew louder and louder as it came closer. she realized it was someone walking towards her. "ah, mackenzie. you're finally up" the voice was low and husky, it sounded like a man.
mackenzie breathed heavily, trying to break out the leather straps, but it was a no go. "where am i?" her voice croaked out. "don't worry, you won't remember even if i tell you" the man stepped from out the shadows holding a blade close to his chest.
mackenzie wanted to be set free, she didn't like being held hostage. especially in small spaces.
the man pulled a cart with a display of metal tools from out the dark. mackenzie's heart felt like jumping out her chest. the man she didn't recognize began sorting through the "weapons" he brought.
"there's nothing to be afraid of mackenzie.." the man laughed evilly. "w-what..are you going, to do to me?" she asked with tears forming in her eyes. "i'm going to fix you.." the man turned around and walked closer to her, adjusting the table to where he could see her better.
"j-johnny.." mackenzie cried out as the man made a small cut on her lower wrist. her head shifted to the side and noticed something different about the room. there was a window, illuminating light on a shadowy figure. the shadow took a step forward and revealed to be johnny.
mackenzie wanted to be saved so she called out for him, but no words came out her mouth. she was confused as to why he started backing away.
he couldn't save her anymore. he wasn't there for her when she needed him.
is he even real?
mackenzie's thoughts flooded her mind as she kept her eyes shut. "now mackenzie, if you stay quiet and behave i'll give you a treat afterwards" the man spoke up. "is it gonna hurt?.." she asked scared, gripping tightly to the table.
"happy easter" was all he said before sticking a needle in her arm, making her lose consciousness.
when the warden arrived in the room he seemed panicked. the man asked the first question, "what's the problem warden?" the warden walked over to mackenzie and glanced at her. "how long until she wakes up?" the man looked at his watch. "a few minutes. why?"
"her dad is here to speak with her" the man's eyes widened, in search of something in particular. "i thought he wasn't coming until tomorrow!"
"yes yes, me too. but he's here early and we need her up" the warden proclaimed. "okay..tell her father she's just waking up from a nap and will be there shortly" the warden nodded and walked off, leaving the man to finish his task.
as mackenzie was seated into the chair across from her father, 'being blocked by glass' she was completely confused and unaware of what had just happened to her.
but her doctor didn't give her the medicine yet, so she still saw johnny standing right next to her.
"hey kenzie..how are you?" her dad spoke softly. mackenzie looked around cluelessly, she feels like she has forgotten this place. "kenz?" her dad asked nervously. "kenzie. your dad is speaking to you" johnny said beside her.
"huh? oh..hi dad" her dad was worried about her state, and honestly believed everything her friends had told him. "your friends have been telling me some things are off around here. one of them said you had a bruise...let me see your wrist"
mackenzie slowly lifted her wrist on the table that was separating her from her father. she was even surprised with the purple markings on her skin, not recalling how they got there.
"oh baby...you don't look okay" mackenzie's eyes teared up looking at her father. she wished she could hug him so badly. "it doesn't look like you're getting any better...i have an idea cupcake" her attention was drawn to him as he called her by her favorite nickname.
"i'm gonna to take you out this facility, it's not doing you any good"
"thank you.." she said under her breath before one of the guards gently escorted her out the room. "happy easter baby!"
