Title: Nightmare.
Part: VI
By Lylou
She felt that voice again….it sounds remotely familiar to her, sounds like his voice…but it wasn't he….only another sadist way to torture her.
It wasn't Hook.
The pain…the pain have been what have to wake up her…she was felling an intensive and deep pain in her mouth….well….she thoughts that was in her mouth.
But she just couldn't know it anymore, now the only thing she wants, the only damn thing on that she can thought about was to stay alone, she wants to squeeze her legs against her chest and stay here, bleeding and freezing, she couldn't cry more, her left ankle was killing her, the half of her face was hot and swell, her eye was pounding and in pain and she almost couldn't to hear…but all that doesn't matter, anything matters now...he wasn't there, he was angry with her, he wants to left her on that hell, she remembered how Hooks shouted her before, how he hits her… "It wasn't Hook"….she tried to say to herself over and over again…but useless…she just could remember Hook laughing of her suffering, slapping her…"He will never hits you…" her head was blurred and her wrist were bleeding again, she was tired, very tired…she wants to sleep, just close her eyes and sleep forever.
But her body shivered when she saw Hook walking near to her again.
-…No…no more of that, please.
-Chris…Its okay, I'm me…
-…I'll be good girl, I promise….no more hits please.
-No Chris…look at me, I'm Hook…
¿Do you remember me?
-You are not him….I will do whatever you want…but don't be he…not anymore.
Hook neared to her, she was shaking and scared, the blood was falling by her face, and over the remain of her lab coat…she needs help and he needs to stay clear and calm down to could help her….but he was scared, angry, and a hundred of things more…somebody had hurt her, somebody had hits her until making she bleed …she was tied to the wall her ankle looks broken and her lips…her warms lips were beats and purple, she was speaking but he couldn't understood her, she looks broken and destroyed, crying like a little girl …and she was afraid of him.
He felt something similar to vertigo, she was avoiding he, every time he neared to her, she drag far of him.
Her hands were frozen and tight…but she screamed when he touched her skin.
-Don't touch me!
You are not HIM.
-Come on Chris…look at me, I'm Hook, really…
I'm going to take you out of here.
-….No….just leave me alone, please…don't hurt me more.
-I won't hurt you Chris…but we have to hurry…
I'm going to untie you, okay?
-No…I'll be good. Please….whatever you want…I'll be quiet… as you like it…
Her voice sounded like thousands of miles away…but she continued moving away from him, she didn't trust him and he know that he will never forget it, he will never forget Chris scared of him and trying to escape from him while she was tied and hurt…that moment will be his awake nightmare for many years….
-I want him…The real Hook….don't do this to me…
-I'm here Chris…It's over…
-No…
Her eyes closed again and she stops talking…she was unconscious.
Hook untied the leather straps and almost cried when he saws her wrists …he pass his warm hand upon her beat face, her soft neck…she was cold, and she was bleeding on his lab coat, he hugged her for a while, in the dirty and frozen ground, he just couldn't thought about anything else, he just need to hug her, he knows it wasn't way to help anyone, but now she looks like a broken and hurt dolly and she was so cold….her little body, the one he kneed very well….
-Dr. Hook…we have to hurry…he is coming.
Dr. Hook…
He take away his look from Chris injured body for a second, and watched Mary; she was frightened and almost crying near to him.
-Okay Mary…take us out from here.
Hook carried Chris body and walked until the wall, but suddenly he felt some steps on his back.
-Dear Dr….
Finally you are here….she was worried about you….
That scene is so romantic…you carrying "your" girl, trying to save her…
….I'm really bored to death of you….
You know Dr.?
Now leave her on the ground and I'll let you back to your basement.
-You will never have her anymore.
-I take her once…what stops me to take her twice Dr.?
-Me.
-Give me back her….
She is mine!
-Well…now she is free.
-Do you think Chris will be okay Elmer?
-Well…she was…hurt and cold…its difficult to know it but…
-Elmer…we were in the next room, we listened her shouts…and the hits…my God poor Chris...
-Look Lona, I don't know what happened to her…or how all of you arrived to that creepy world….but I'm sure she will be fine…
-Hook it's with her?
-I think…yes.
-Dr Abelson is a little obsessed with Hook…
-Why are you laughing Lona?
-Because… love is something strange and wonderful Elmer.
-Why do you say it…Are you in love?
-I remembered how it used to be…
-So…you don't….
-I…I feel lonely sometimes Elmer…
And I like being with you.
-That's all?
-You are young yet…you don't know anything about love…
-I know it hurts.
-Well…maybe you aren't so young…
-And it's good?
Lona walked near to Elmer and spokes soft and close to him…he could feel her warm breath upon his skin…
-….Depends for what baby….
Suddenly the door opened and Dr. Abelson entered into the room followed by Mrs Druse …
-Where is Dr. Hook Lona?
-Don't worry Brenda…you aren't disturbing anything…
-I wasn't worried Elmer…but thanks….now, Where is Dr. Hook?
-He isn't here Brenda.
-I have to speak with you about what happen Dr. Massingel.
-Sure Mrs Druse…come with me please…
-Lona…I wanna go to….Lona wait me …
-Come on Elmer…!
Lona and Mrs Druse walked along the corridor…followed by Elmer.
"-No matter….I will find him by my own way…"
Brenda walked alone on the passage until she turned a corner and founds the last person she wants to see in that moment.
-Brenda….
Where have you been all the day?
-Where I'm been?
And you!
-I was here…doing…things.
-"Doing things"!...
… You leave me to my own luck with those two witches…. ..
Mrs. Rickman wants to slap me!
-What the hell are you talking about Brenda?
-You don't know…!
They were right all the time…. This hospital is haunted!
I've spent the last eight hours in one frightening and dark room with Dr. Massingel and Mrs Rickman.
-Who is Mrs Rickman?
-…Look Steg…do you want something from me?
-You are upset Brenda?
-No but…I'm leaving you.
-You what?
-What you heard…I'm in love with other man.
-You are in love?
-Yes I'm…and he is wonderful…not like you…he had save us!
-I will save you too if I would knee that you…
-…Wasn't here?
-Yes…I mean, No. no of course I've noticed you wasn't here…I told that brainless Hook that you…
Why are you smiling Brenda….
No…you can't…
-Yes…I love him!
…And he loves me.
-Maybe we should talk about this darling…
-Maybe…but now I have to find him.
Sure he is searching for me….
Chris felt it before opened her eyes…something was different…the warm, the smell….all was like being at home finally…better, it was like stay in Hooks bed.
She remembered some weird and frightens images…. And after that she remembered everything, the hits, the blood by her face, Hook….Hook laughing at her, hurting her…and leaving her in that hell…the cold…
Chris scared and opened her eyes abruptly …she recognize Hooks bed immediately…or something very similar to it…and she saw him, sit on the chair next to bed, sleeping with his head laying on the bed.
But she couldn't think clearly, her mouth was hot and pumping, her head was blurred and screaming her to get out of there….so she removed the blankets and slowly went out to the bed.
The first thing she felt was the pain, intensive pain going through her left eye until her ankle…she wished to scream of pain but she didn't, she only wanted to escape from there but Chris could felt how a warm tear crossed her hurtful face.
The second thing she felt….was the cold, the intense cold on her skin and on her bones, the freeze air into her lungs…but she needs to get out of there…
Far away from "him".
Chris looked back for a second, he was still sleeping on the bed…she thought "What if he is …No…you thought that on that terrible room too and remembered what happened…he isn't Hook…"
She dragged slowly by the corridor without looking back.
Ten minutes later she was frozen, tired and dragging her leg…she couldn't walk without felling sick and sail…but over all, she fells dead beat… the head was pumping her and she was scared, she was terrified.
She could feel the bandaging upon her wrists…the careful bandage on her ankle…even the stitches on her face…but she just couldn't think...
On her mind she just could remember "You are mine" and he hurting her more and more…like in the old times, like that night, when she shot him twice….
That night was the last thing she thought about before fall and hit her head with the cold ground.
Hook woke up suddenly…he didn't remember get sleep, he was watching Chris sleeping and now…
He felt a freeze on his spine …she wasn't there.
She wasn't there.
Hooks heart accelerated rapidly….maybe he had come back for Chris…no impossible, Mary told him that she would watch Danny in the old Kingdom…
He wasn't sleep anymore, Hook wakes up and search for Chris, in the kitchen, on the sofa…she just wasn't there…
Hook could felt the fear quickly seizing of him, even, for a minute, he thought that everything had been a dream, that he never had bring her back… that he just had fallen asleep after drinking of more last night…but no, her vanilla smell was there yet, trapped on the covers, he remembered clearly how he bandaged the ankle, the scanner, the smallest stitches that he had give in his entire life, upon her left eyebrow, he remembered felt a chill when he request for a sexual assault test, the infected wounds on her wrists... her lips red-looking and bleeding... Chris body, now cold and rigid...
Hook thought about thousands of scare possibilities and disturbing images while he started to walk along the passage ….
-….Maybe we still can back for those bitches…especially for Dr. Draper…
-Are you unable to hear besides stupid?
The flea bag is watching us!
We lost our opportunity….and it's all your fault Danny!
-My fault!
What is supposed I have to do…!
-How about stop him?
Now I understand why that bitch could kill you…
Danny thrashed Paul and pulled down, he look at him between angry and surprised before raise and speak to Danny…
-This is the last time you do something like this to me….the next time, I will return you to the hell.
It's clear?
-You are not my own….I would do whatever I want.
-You are wrong ….You are mine Danny, and you are here just for one reason…don't you forget about it.
-I don't mind…the only thing who cares here is that….I'm back.
And I'm tired of that crap.
-You can't do it!
-Go to the hell…the flea bag is watching you…not me.
-But you can't destroy all of them by your self…come back Danny…!
-I don't care about the others…I just want Chris…and I know very well what to do….
-You will not even smell she, the damn Dr. wouldn't let you …remembered that in their Kingdom, we are vulnerable…
-She isn't the one who I need to approach …..
She wasn't able to remember what's going on or where she was…she just was freezing and felling the most horrible headache in the world…
But over all, she was scared.
She listened the eco of steps in the corridor, approaching the her and she decided that it wasn't moment to be scared, first she needed to continue alive, she already would have time to be scared later, Chris saw the metallic elevator doors open near from her and without thinking it twice, she crawled painfully until them, while the steps approached to her more and more….
She pushed the button and tranquilized when she saw the doors closing with her inside….she was momentary safe.
Chris could listen the heavy machinery of the elevator working, with her in the ground on the corner and, just for a moment, she could swear that she had listened a voice, like a little girl crying on the ceiling of the elevator…
She was hurt…someone had hurt her, a man, she was almost sure of that, but…she just couldn't remember anything, she needs help.
The elevator doors opened again, silence, there was nobody there, the place looks like an hospital or something similar, she left the elevator as she could and walked leaning on the wall, trying not doing any noise every time she felt her broken ankle.
She had to leave that place, Chris was sure that somebody was following her, the steps that she had listened on that basement maybe he….
She turned the corner and found a man looking very strange at her…he seems a doctor; he was wearing a lab coat and spoke a little bit nervous to her.
-Draper…are you okay?
-…I…Are youa doctor?
-…Of course I'm…
-I need help, please…
There is a guy following me and…
-Sure you are okay?
She looked behind the doctor near to her and saw another man, tall, brown hair, with glasses and a lab coat too…the second man ran until them.
-What is she doing here?
-I don't know, but she needs help…
The oldest doctor started to examine her stomach, her neck…. She could felt clearly that there was something strange in that man…he wasn't very professional, it seemed to her that single thing he was doing, was handling her, like if he had wanted to do it for a long time...
And she knew that she was right when she heard the second man speaking, the young man with glasses.
-Dr Stegman... maybe you shouldn't do this...…
-It's just a patience …for God love Elmer...
-But Dr Hook...
-Dr Hook is not here, and he isn't the only doctor on that hospital…
Besides…if the lovely Dr. Draper needs help….
The doors of the elevator opened again and Chris saw another man with lab coat...
He seemed more nervous than the others two and when the last saw them on the other side of the passage sitting on the ground, he ran along the corridor until where they were ... and without she knowing why; Chris felt how the one of grey-haired hair separate abruptly from her.
Like if he was a boy discovered while was making a prank.
The third man had crouched in the ground next to her, Chris could see how their hands shook a little while he looked for the pulse in her neck, but he was smiling, and no one of the other two mans there had smiled to her.
-You scare me like the hell
Again.
He helped her to rise from the ground, slowly, holding her by the waist, she could felt her smooth and warm hands... almost familiar on the fabric of her pyjama... there was something different in that man.
The way on which he was watching her, as if there wasn't anybody else in that corridor…
But the cute stranger was a man, and she was lost and overwhelmed... and something scared yet….. She needed help; she needed speak with a woman.
Later she would find out who was that stranger who was holding her between his arms as if that were normal one for them.
- Elmer... can you go to look for a blanket for Chris?
-... I... know you?
- .. Yes…very good
You don't remember me?
She saw a sparkle of preoccupation and pain in the dark blue eyes of the stranger, that made her feel guilty.
-You do not worry... everything is well….I promised
Nobody will hurt you here.
But he wasn't smiling anymore, and she could felt the tears behind her eyes without knowing very well why.
-I…I need a Dr?
-I'm a doctor…you are fine, just a little lost and tired…
-I want to speak with a woman.
Please.
Hook could feel perfectly his heart breaking in thousands small pieces, she had spoken to him with that voice of scared little girl again, she was scared of him, was scared of everything...
He wanted to cry, wanted embrace she very hard and sleep next to her during one week, wanted to kiss her in every hurt and say that she was out of danger now, that he never would hurt her...
Hook would give whatever to see Chris smiling, just for a second, he didn't like that, he didn't like awake and discover that she wasn't next to him on the bed... and he realized that from now on, he always would be scared of it.
-Elmer…would you go to find Lona?
-Of course.
-Thank you.
The man with grey-colour hair was still there, looking in silence all the scene, they listen they listened heels on the corridor and Chris saw a woman with lab coat running towards her, followed close by the tall man with the glasses.
-Chris…I'm Lona…everything is okay…
You are at home now.
-Home?
-Yes….you work here…you are a doctor…
Don't you remember?
-I remember…the hits…the blood…the cold.
She felt again the warm touch of Hooks hands upon her thin pyjama while he put the blanket on her shoulders.
And his voice, sweet and familiar…like if she have awaked sometime, maybe in other live, with that sound at midnight
-Don't worry about all that Chris…is over.
-Come with me …I will exanimate you… Okay?
-…And what about he?
-Don't worry Chris I will be with you soon…Lona will take care of you very well.
-You promise it?
-Yes.
The two women walked along the corridor and went into an examination room.
Hook turned to Stegman, who was still there holding him by the neck of his laboratory coat and pulling him against the wall.
-I have seen very well what you were doing… if you touch her again….you will need a doctor, a good doctor, not like you.
It's clear Steg?
-Crystalline.
