Thanks for all the reviews.
Chapter 2
"Nicole, wake up" a voice and someone stroking her face woke Arizona up. Sluggishly she opened her eyes blinking a few times to clear her vision.
Arizona caught sight of his face, Graham! It was Graham, Nicole Herman's other fellow who'd been let go from the fellowship for not performing at a level expected of him. He'd been Nicole's fellow for 2 years it had taken Arizona 2 months to outperform him and 4 months to complete a 1-year fellowship. Graham was sat there next to her on the floor.
A glass of water was pressed to her lips, Arizona gratefully took a sip her throat that had gone scratchy and sore feeling like cotton wool was stuffed inside, the cool water easing it slightly. Her head hurt she felt dehydrated and slightly concussed. She tried to move finding her limbs obeyed somewhat, not doing the movements she wanted but moving none the less and her leg was missing, gone from sight. The good news was her vision had improved and she could see exactly where she was. The bad news was she didn't recognise it, it didn't look like Grey Sloan hospital even if it did look like a treatment room.
She attempted to move more but found something stopping her, panicking she tried to fight the restraints both her hands were handcuffed to pipes.
"Easy there Nicole," a hand came to rest on her shoulder the other brushing hair from her face in a tender gesture.
"I'm not Nicole" Arizona muttered; Graham's face hardened the rest of the water was thrown over her followed by a slap across her face sending her head spinning her body went to follow by the handcuffs stopped her.
"I know, I know you're not Nicole, do you think I'm crazy. Arizona, the woman who stole my fellowship, who ruined my life. But Nicole downloaded her brain, all her knowledge, into you. You are Nicole, you have her brain. You are going to teach me everything you know; I won't fail this fellowship." He leant in, tied to the wall Arizona had nowhere to go as he kissed her, brutally claiming her lips.
"You taste good" he whispered backing away, leaving Arizona tied up, wet, and bruised on the floor. Arizona fought tears, what was happening? Graham had clearly lost it. She fought the handcuffs one on each hand attached to a pipe on the wall her arms stretched open. They held tight against her struggles, even if she did get free, he'd taken her leg. She was seated on the cold tiled floor in a pool of water. She wouldn't get far, not that stopped her from trying, glad her body was finally co-operating with what she wanted her to do finally moving when she told it too.
He was back before she could formulate a plan, a Jell-o mould with him inside a lone grape sat. It was similar to the mould's she had made with April, hundreds of them practicing day after day.
"Show me" he insisted, "Show me how you do it" he roughly uncuffed a hand, moving the mould so the cuffed hand could hold the guide wire. Despite her hand still feeling slightly numb she took the wire and easily passed the wire though the mould hitting the grape in the centre.
"No" Graham cried at the ease in which she had completed the procedure. He grabbed the wire from her hand pulling it out of the Jell-O, before trying to insert it in exactly the same place in the same way Arizona had.
It missed by a mile. Arizona couldn't help smiling, until he saw her smiling at his failing and backhanded her sending her flying across the floor only held back by her hand still cuffed. Wrenching her shoulder sending pain shooting down her back. She used her uncuffed hand to wipe the blood from her mouth.
"You don't get to do that" Graham screamed. "You did the fellowship in 4 months, nobody does that, you just show up, and take over, and scream at me, Herman talks to you, with your sleep overs. Don't think I don't know you screwed her; you screwed your way to the top." His eyes changed, there was a crazy look there hadn't been before. Arizona bit back her normal response when someone was questioning how she got to the top of 2 fields.
"Graham please, let me go" Arizona begged, "I won't tell anyone, I promise, I'll get you your fellowship back I'm on the board I can do that" she sobbed.
"Don't worry Nicole, I'll complete my fellowship, you'll teach me everything you know then I'll go back to Seattle Grace and take over your service, I'll be the best fetal surgeon ever." Graham said tenderly wiping Arizona's tears off her face.
"Now show me again" he insisted. Grabbing Arizona's hair dragging her back to the Jell-o. Arizona lifted the wire again, remembering Herman's notes. Maybe if she taught him, maybe if she shared everything Nicole had shared then he'd let it go. It wasn't much but it was the only hope she had.
"You take the guide wire, 90 degrees, you want to pass it with a slight left twist." Arizona's voice shook but she kept her hand steady. Again, she demonstrated the procedure perfectly hitting the grape.
Removing the guide wire she passed it to Graham, "You try" he picked up the wire.
"Hold it looser, lower down" Arizona instructed. "That's it, okay pass it in, aim for the grape" he did and it missed, but closer than his first try. "Better, but try twisting it a little more"
He removed it trying again, it missed again, this time his effort was worse than the first try.
"You can do it," Arizona encouraged tiredly, remembering how many times she had failed, even when she thought she had it, she'd do it once, then miss the next 10.
"No, you bitch, you sabotaged me" Graham threw the Jell-O mould across the room, Arizona flinched as it hit the wall. The loud sound echoing around the room.
"You'll pay," he lifted her arm slamming the handcuff back on. "I remember how you liked it Nicole, you liked it rough, you liked me in control" he lifted Arizona up slamming her against the wall.
"No Graham, please" Arizona begged, as his mouth sucked at her neck his hands clawing at her exposed skin and ripping her clothes.
"Sssh Nicole, you know I love it when you beg" he whispered, pawing at her exposed breasts. Arizona tried to fight but standing on one leg both arms handcuffed to a pipe below her she was off balance and had no leverage to fight.
"No, stop" Arizona continued begging him to stop. "Please stop" she whimpered again as he ripped what was left of her trousers.
"It's okay Nicole, your beautiful, you know I love you. I worship you" Graham murmured, "So beautiful" he continued working down her body with his hands and mouth, kissing licking and biting his way down. Nicole loved it rough, she liked to feel it, it was the one time she didn't want to be in control. The one time she let him do whatever he wanted and right now he wanted to mark her, to own her, to punish her for letting him go, for throwing him out of the fellowship programme.
Arizona fought with everything she had; she could feel the skin on her wrists ripping as the handcuffs held strong. She even used the handcuffs to support her weight in order to use her good leg to try kicking him, he easily countered that using his leg to pin her.
"No" Arizona sobbed as she felt him penetrate her, "No, I'm not Nicole, please stop" she begged fruitlessly as he continued, using one hand to massage her breast, the other caressing her face.
"Ssh" Graham whispered wiping her tears away, as he finished and pulled out, "It's okay Nicole, it was magical for me too, rest now, we have rounds early tomorrow"
As soon as he left her go, Arizona collapsed to the floor bringing her knees to her chest trying desperately to cover herself with her ripped clothes, failing miserably due to the poor the range of movement the handcuffs gave her. Graham noticing her problem disappeared returning with a blanket wrapping her up. Then got her a glass of water assisting her to drink it wiping off the excess dribble with his thumb when he tipped the glass too much.
"Sleep now Nicole" he whispered kissing her lips for one last time that night before he left the room.
Too traumatised to sleep, Arizona took stock of the room she was in. It looked like a surgical room at a local practice. In one corner a metal sink, with blood dripped down the side, next to the sink surgical trolleys lined the wall. Opposite were white cupboards, the doors firmly closed. Along the same wall Arizona was attached too were pipes, and a medicine cabinet, in the middle of the room a bed stood, empty. A huge surgical light above. Red Jell-O dripped down the light blue walls. A brown door was next to the Jell-O stain. There were no windows. No natural light, at all the room was lit green by the emergency lighting. Arizona thought about screaming for help, but really didn't want to wake Graham up. Instead, she sat awkwardly on the cold tiled floor, shivering, bleeding, praying someone would notice she was missing. Praying someone would find her.
Any guesses as to where she is being held?
