John had been driving himself insane for the last hour. The doctors who had taken Monica off of him still hadn't come out. He kept think about what he had seen. Was that Mothman? He didn't know. It looked like what witnesses had described to them and the police. Does Mothman actually exist? No, not a chance in hell. Although he couldn't deny what he saw. He couldn't turn his back on evidence. He had called the police and told them what had happened, about half an hour later they called him saying that they found some evidence on some rope as to who it was who put Monica out there. Another couple of minutes and a doctor finally came.

Mr Doggett'

How is she?'

She's going to be fine, we stopped the bleeding from the wounds on her upper arms. She has a concussion. You said you found her car smashed against a tree, it looks like she hit her head. What's unusual is that it also looks like someone punch her to knock her out.'

You mean someone was going to feed her to that thing?'

It looks like that. There were also some burn marks on her wrist's, it looks like whoever knocked her out also tied her up. She's asleep at the moment, we've covered her with blankets to raise her temperature, she should wake up soon' The doctor told John as they stood outside Monica's room.

Thank you'

The doctor nodded and then left to deal with other patients. John walked in the room and stood by her bed for a second before sitting down on the chair. He took her hand in his and laced there fingers together. He looked at her face, it was bruised, cut and battered, his partner had definatley seen better days. But to John she still looked beautiful. He sat thinking for another twenty minutes or so when he noticed Monica's eyes flickering, he squeezed her hand and he felt her respond. She blink a few times before she got her eyes focused, the first thing she saw was John she gave him a smiled that he gladly returned.

Hey' she whispered, her throat was dry, John got her some water and she took a few sips.

Hey, how you feeling?'

Sore'

She tried to lift her hand to touch her face but was stopped when a searing pain went straight through her arm. John noticed and helped her lower her arm.

Oh yeah, i hoped that was a nightmare' she told him.

Do you want to talk about it? Tell me what happened' he urged her.

I was in the car driving back and there was a man in the road, I swerved to avoid him and smashed into a tree. Someone opened the door and knocked me out. The next thing I know my hands are tied behind me around a tree, it was raining pretty heavily, I got free and stood up and then it was there. I couldn't see its body but I saw its eyes, huge red eyes. It was so scary, I just ran into the field and it jumped on me. Then I heard your voice and a gun shot and it went away. Then I don't know' A few tears went down her cheek which John didn't hesitate to wipe away.

Its okay. Your safe now. The police called me and said that they found some evidence as to who tied you up, they should be ringing any minute with the results. Just get some rest okay' He told her and she nodded her head and closed her eyes.

Half an hour later they hadn't moved. Monica slept as John held her hand. The nurses had come in a couple of times to check that everything was okay with Monica. Even though the doctors and nurses had assured John that Monica was fine and just tired from running John couldn't help but be worried. His mobile ringing broke John from his thoughts and also awoke Monica. Never letting go of Monica's hand John reached into his pocket, took out his mobile and answered it.

Doggett....Yes....She's fine....okay....thanks a lot' he said and hanged up.

Who was it?'

The detective they found the guy who tied you up, his name is Tom Foster he works at the gas station and told the police that the monster needed to be fed before it went after his family and friends. He said that the monster was actually the devil' John chuckled lightly. He gonna be charged with assault and kidnapping a federal officer'

When can i get out of here?' Monica asked

Tomorrow morning the doctors said'

Monica nodded, closed her eyes and feel back into a peaceful sleep. John smiled at the sight. He pulled the blankets to cover her fully. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and then on her cheek, which was nice and warm now. Before heading to the door he stood up and looked at her.

Goodnight Monica. Sweet dreams' he whispered before leaving for the night. He would go back to the motel and pack there things so they can go back to DC. The doctors had told John that she will need someone to help her around for a while and John silently volunteered.

NOTE: The next chapter hasn't got much to do with the story, it is actually Monica's thoughts at the end of this chapter. Please read on and keep reviewing : )
