AZALEA

I woke up with Dr. Ville treating my wounds both on my legs and my wrist.



When he noticed me flutter my eyes he stopped applying ointments.



I immediately pushed myself to sit up and hold onto his arms.



He only stared at me like he was already expecting my reaction.



"Dr. Ville I need you to help me!" I strained my voice but he only started at me again.



"Dr. Ville! Did you hear me?! We need to get out of here! Luca! Luca is... " I wasn't able to finish my sentence when he shook his head side to side as if telling me not to bother.



I looked at him, I'm pretty sure horror mirrored in my face before I gulped and asked him the question on my mind.



"D-did you k-know?" I asked him and he looked at me, sympathy in his eyes.



I breathe in a shaky breath.



Dr. Ville is Luca's ally!



I stared at him with the same horror I felt with Luca.



"Y-you know.." I answered my own question inching away from him.



"Azalea.." he started.



"No! Don't come near me!" I snapped.



Who else?!



Who else knew what Luca has been up to?!



Am I the only one who didn't know?!



"Dr. Ville.. " both Dr. Ville and I turned towards the door and there stood Luca, no sigh of emotion on his face,  just like when I first saw him.



The old Luca is back.



The Luca that I despised.



Dr. Ville nodded and left the room leaving me and Luca alone.



I'm alone in a room with a murderer!



I started to shake and when he walked towards me I swear I thought I would faint...but I didn't.



He sat where Dr. Ville sat a while ago facing me.



I turned the other way.



I don't want to see him, to see his face, the face that I thought I would learn to love, No!



"Azalea look at me,"



I didn't move.



"Azalea," this time there is warning in his voice.



But still I didn't move.



If he's gonna kill me, he better kill me now.



I heard him sigh and then everything went quiet, I thought then and there that he left but I was wrong.



The moment I turned my face towards him he was an inch away from me.



Out of instinct I slapped him.



No you did not just...



But I did, I slapped him hard across his cheek.
