Fear
I'm soooooo sorry I haven't updated! I got a letter yesterday from Duke University (and I'm in 7th grade XD) about TIP (Talent Identification Program) to take my SAT or ACT for math early. And the cliché thing about it, is that Duke is my dream college; I want to be a chemist. School is being a pain too... Story time!
I blinked hazily, barely noticing the stretcher I was on. I blacked out, waking up on a gurney. Garfield was nowhere in my range of sight-which wasn't much.
"G-Garfield," I managed to say. My throat was dry and I tasted blood.
"I'm right here. Talk to me, Raven," Garfield said, his voice shaky. It was then that I coughed up blood.
"It's alright, ma'am. We're going to take good care of you," a voice said, which I'm guessing was a doctor's. I then blacked out, once again. I woke up, an annoying 'beeping' sound to my right. I looked around, realizing my neck was stiff. I saw an IV running up my arm. I also saw Garfield holding one of my hands, sound asleep in the chair. My other arm had a cast on it, indicating I broke my arm. I heard a knock on the door frame and turned my head.
"You're awake, I see," the doctor said. I nodded, my mouth still dry. I slipped my hand away from Garfield's and motioned for water. It felt like I was playing charades.
"Just a minute-Raven," he said, flipping through the papers for my name.
"Well, I can imagine you are mostly confused right now, so I will explain what's going on. You were hit on the back of the head by a wrench, unfortunately the attacker got away," he explained. As he said 'got away', Garfield immediately sat up.
"Raven! I thought I was going to lose you. I'm so sorry," his eyelids were dark green, giving away he was crying. 'It's okay,' I telepathically told him. He nodded, figuring out my mouth was dry.
"As I was saying, Raven, the attacker got away, but the police are looking for the suspect," the doctor said to me. I motioned for water again, as the doctor nodded and left. A few minutes later, the doctor came back with water, two policemen following suit.
"May we ask you some questions, Raven?" One of the officers said as I took a large swig of water. Refreshing.
"Yes," I hoarsely said.
"Have you ever seen this man?" The other officer showed a picture of-who I would guess-was the suspect. Oh Azar. It was him.
"Y-yes," I said, shivering with fear.
Once again, I am the Cliffhanger Writer! Haha! Favorite comment of the last chapter was: "WOW! What was that? I hope she's fine, she had to be fine right?" From: AStudyinEsmeWho
