Here's the next chapter! Thank you to all the reviews! Enjoy!
….
(Hospital)
I need to find William…maybe he's at the station…maybe that vision I saw wasn't' reality. Well
I need to find him William before Eva does something to him. Ok Julia get the coat and boots
on…oh you need to distract those nurses and doctors that are out in the hallway. Wait there's an
unattended nurse's cart, ok I will push it and it will go flying against the wall.
"Ouch…ahh"…the pain medication is starting to wear off…ok I need to focus. Ok Julia push the
cart as hard as you can, but please, please don't tell my stitches rip. Ok now push…ok good the
cart is rolling. Wow for someone who just woke up from a coma, I have a lot of strength.
"Stop that cart" said one doctor
"Who pushed the cart?" said another doctor
"It doesn't matter; let's just hope none of the tubes of morphine aren't broken." Said a nurse
Good there distracted, ok need to find a cab to the station. Oh there's a carriage, ok hurry Julia
catch it before it leaves.
"Station House number 4 and step on it, it's an emergency" I said to the driver
"as you wish ma'am" said the driver
Ok I am in the carriage, I can at least sit down for a bit and relax…oh but how can I relax when
I am in agony. Oh man the driver is staring at me.
"ma'am are you alright?" asked the driver
"I'm alright, just get me to the station and hurry please" I said
Ok the carriage is moving a lot faster. I'm just going close my eyes for a bit.
"ma'am were here" said the driver
I opened my eyes "thank you sir, oh I don't have any money on me."
"it's on me ma'am"
"thank you sir"
"you're welcome, need help out of the carriage?"
"no thank you I'll be ok. Thank you again"
"ma'am" said the driver as he tilted his hat
…..
(Station)
I entered into the station, man I am in total agony from the pain but I can get morphine later.
Need to make sure the vision I had in my sleep was just a vision and not reality.
Oh man stairs, you can do it Julia, ok step…"ahh." All the constables are staring at me, have
they ever seen a wounded woman in pain before jeeze; oh there's Jackson.
"Dr. Ogden?" Jackson said with a worried look
"Where's William?" I asked looking at his office. It's empty…I look at the inspector's
office…empty…he's nowhere.
"Please sit down you…"
"I said, where's William" I said looking around.
"that's the thing of it Doctor…we don't know" he said with a worried and concerned look.
I looked back at the office, oh no the vision was reality.
"the inspector? George?" I asked in a painful voice
"they have a lead on the man who shot you"
What man "who?"
"Chapman is his name…he's the husband of a former patient"
"where are they?"
"they would be in Guelph by now"
I nodded and began walking towards the door in agony.
"Dr. Ogden, are you sure you should be on your feet?" asked Jackson
All the constables keep staring at me with concern.
I look back at Jackson "you just told me my husband is missing, where else should I be?" I asked with an annoyed voice.
…
Man I hate when people don't think I'm strong enough. As I began walking out of the station I noticed the same carriage driver was just a few feet away.
"you waited for me?" I asked the driver
"I had a feeling you needed another lift ma'am" said the driver
"please, call me Julia…mister?"
"Williams, John Williams, Julia" he said tipping his hat
"my husband's name is William, he's missing and I need to find him. His life may be a risk."
"wait a minute, are you Dr. Julia Ogden? And your husband's name is Detective William Murdoch?" asked the driver with excitement
"yes…why?"
"oh I am a member of the Murdoch Appreciation Society. I will help you anyway I can"
"Thank you John…can you give me a ride to the Windsor Hotel…oh but I still don't have any money"
"don't worry about it Dr. Ogden, the ride is on me. Now hop in"
I got into the carriage and sat down and closed my eyes and prayed to William's God that he was alright.
…..
(Windsor Hotel)
"Julia, we have arrived"
"thank you so much John and have a good day"
"good luck on finding Detective William Murdoch"
"thank you again" I said as I got out of the carriage
"Julia" he said and tipped his hat
I entered into the hotel and everyone began to gasp. "What you never seen an injured woman before?" I said in an annoyed voice
"why I never…how rude" said a lady guest
"Dr. Ogden? Do you need help?" asked a staff member
"all I need is everyone to stop asking me questions and let me go to my room." I said as I began
walking up the staircase. Man more stairs, they really need an elevator here, "ahh, ahh, ow,"
man I need some morphine for the pain. Ok, Julia no thinking of the pain…you need to find
William and find out where Eva took him.
I finally reached our hotel room and began having the flashback of being shot. Eva with her
smug face, trying to get rid of me so she can have William. But if I don't find out where she took
him, Eva will definitely force herself on him.
Ok, Julia just go in the room and find the records on Eva. I opened the door and went to our
desk and pulled out the files from the asylum. Now let's look for Eva Pearce…Eva…Eva…ahh
here it is Eva Pearce. I sat down and began looking at her record when I look at the chair and
had a flashback where Eva and I did our psychology session.
(Flashback)
"All I want is love" said Eva wearing her asylum duties.
"Then why do you hurt all those that come close to you?" I asked
"Because they don't love me"
"Isn't that their right? Isn't that their decision to make?"
"Not if it hurts me…if they are nice to me, I'll be nice to them. If not…my mother wasn't very nice to my father."
"Your parents both died when you were young is that right?" I asked
"When I was eight…it was to be such a lovely weekend…my father took us up to the family cabin. I always loved it there…I was so excited; but then I found out that my mother had been naughty. My father caught her fornicating with another man. He was taking her to the cabin to kill her…then he killed himself" Eva said
"You must be very angry with him?"
"Why? He did nothing wrong" She looks at me with a grave look.
I looked down and noticed my blouse was stained with blood at the wound spot.
(Present Time)
I flashed back to reality when I notice I was bleeding at the wound area. I gasped with pain and
looked back at the chair Eva was sitting at and I realized a clue…Eva took William to her cabin.
I need to get out of this hospital gown. I look for a camisole and bloomers and put them on. I'll
just forget about the corset. Ok need to wrap the wound, I go to my medical bag and found
bandages and morphine and a syringe.
I lift up the camisole and wrapped the bandages around my abdomen and added the morphine to
the syringe and inject myself. I can already feel the morphine working.
I need to wear something loose…I got it…one of William's shirt and brown pants. I put on
William's shirt and pants and added a belt that can hold a knife and gun. I grabbed a pair of his
spenders and lifted the straps on my shoulders. I slipped on a pair of boots and Williams jacket
and his hat. I put on my gloves and grabbed my bow and arrows and set off but before I catched
a glimpse of our wedding photo "I'm coming William, just hang it there."
Wait a minute I need a horse…I know…I'll borrow a horse from the hotel stables and tell them
to put on money on our hotel tab.
