Chapter 9

Danielle wakes in a soft bed. She seems to be next to the water she can tell because she hears a waterfall. Her head hurts and her mouth taste of cotton. She gets up from the bed or at least tries to. Her hands and feet are shackled down to the metal framed bed. She looks to her left and sees doctor's equipment.

"Hey, get me out of these things. Is anyone there? You better let me go; you don't know who I am." Danielle screams. A door opens reviling two people, both dressed in scrubs. They walk towards her unfazed by her mean talk and bad mood.

"Now, now little one don't get your self excited it's not good for the baby." The tall lean woman says as she tries to draw blood from Danielle.

"Why am I here? You better talk to me, damn you." The women talked among themselves. She over hears little bits and pieces of the whispered talk. She doesn't like what she hears either. They are going to kill her. She start struggling to get free; her strength is greatly improved. She breaks her restraints, surprising the nurses. Danielle shot straight up out of that bed.

"Call a code, call a code" one nurse screamed, but before she could get close enough to the phone Danielle had her by the throat. "Look I don't want to hurt you, so answer some questions for me first and I will let you live."

"Ok, I will try," the other person said. "Where am I? " Danielle asks.

"You are in England; the watchers transported you here last night." The nurse with the green scrubs and blonde hair says as she unlocks the door as Danielle demands. Danielle knocks them both out and slowly slips out of the room. She grabbed a Dr.'s jacket off the coat hanger outside her door. Walking out the back door was tricky, but she made it look easy. She headed for the waterfall, the one place she could hopefully hide. Running was tired some but she made good time; she got into the water. It was cold but feels good at the same time. Swimming across the lake with the whole building staff trying to catch you is not very much fun.

She swims faster and then there it was a hidden cave behind the waterfall; here she stays until dark a day later. When she was sure all was clear she swim to the other side of the lake. Exiting she sees a small farm house in the field ahead of her. Walking there was pleasant, the flowers were in bloom, and the grass was just cut. It felt so good on her bare feet. Approaching the house, a man sees her and runs out to give her his shirt, because all she had on was a gown from that place.

Mr. Smith took her in without one question; he knew the patients from that hospital were not bad just trapped. "Here," he says as he places the shirt on Danielle, "Let's go into the house and get you covered up and some food in your belly. Danielle was glad she found a person who cared. She now can rest and gather her strength to get back to him.
