A broken world

Chapter 3

Stella's POV
It was so weird. I was in the other end of the room looking at myself. I could see myself just laying on the floor. I turned around and was greeted by a bright white light. It was like a hole in the wall, and I could feel that I was suposed to go into it. In there no one would hurt me. In there I would be free. Free. Yeah, I would be free!
I took a few steps towards the light, but it seemed to be getting smaller. I walked faster. It still got smaller. I ran, and just as I was about to catch up, the light dissapeared and everything went black.
I have no idea how long I was in total darkness, but suddenly I could hear something. A voice. Not like the voices inside my head, but a calming voice of a women.

Olivia's POV
I got in the ambulance with the girl. They were treating her the best they could. They told me that when they arrieved at the hospital, they would have to apply sticthes to her cuts, and do a rape kit.
'Poor girl' was all I could think. She was really thin, and her arms and thighs were covered in scars. Her hair was long and brown, and her face was pale. On top of all she had bruises everywhere.
God knows how long she's been in that house. Probably for months, or years even. Did anyone miss her?

I waited in the waiting area while the doctors took care of her.
About an hour and a half, finally a doctor came out and called my name. "Olivia Benson?"
"That's me, how is she?" I asked standing up.
"We treated her scars, which looks like they are self inflicted, and the rape kit is done. She was definately raped, I'd say alot of times over a least a year. There's evidence of that she's been pregnant atleast twice, but I can't tell if she's ever given birth to a child.. She'll wake up anytime now, you can go see her."
I quickly entered her room.
I took the chair next to her bed and sat down.
She wasn't awake yet.. I took her hand and started talking to her.
"Hi sweetie. I don't even know if you can hear me, but I hope you can.
My name is Olivia. I'm here to help you. He won't hurt you again. Never! We're all her to help you."

Stella's POV
The voice was full of concerne, and.. I think it was sadness..
I heard everything the women said. He wouldn't hurt me again.
I slowly opened my eyes. The light was overwhelming, so it took some time to adjust to it.
I slowly moved my head and saw a women sitting next to me looking down at the floor. She had dark brown hair. She was holding my hand.
I slowly squeezed her hand.
She immediatley looked up, and then she gave me a smile. Not an evil smile like I've gotten from Gordon, but a warm smile. A happy smile.
"Hi sweetie." She said with a soft voice. "What's your name?" She asked.
"I.. I used to be Stella. Bu-but Gordon gave me a new one.. I-I'm Lindsay now.." I answered.
She squeezed my hand and said with a reassuring voice, "you don't have to think of what Gordon did or wanted. He's gone, and he will never hurt you again!"
"Yo-you promise?"
"I promise!"
