CPOV
At this point Sonny had only just entered the surgery room, i had a long wait in store.
I chased Sonny's stretcher to the doors but was rejected entrance, i slumped down into the plastic chairs defeated.
The corridors were empty, however a faint tapping noise grew louder.
The sound of someone running awkwardly in high heels, quite fast as well.
I turned to face the noise, running down the hallway was Tawni, her hair a mess and her face worse.
She threw her high heels off and ran down the corridor full pelt to me.
Screaming in fury as she approached she collapsed into my arms on contact. She sobbed madly into my chest as i tried to comfort her.
She hit me with infrequent and soft punches, although the strength was not there the bitter hatred fueled every fist.
Eventually she seemed to just give in to futility and softly repeated the same words, "you killed her..." over and over, softer every time until it was just a whisper chilling my blood and breaking goose flesh all over my body.
I held her head into my chest and together we sobbed.
Her normally shallow appearance had changed to that of someone in distress, she no longer smelt of $100 perfume and hair products, just sweat, tears and raw fear. Not fear for her life, but Sonny's.
Tawni grew restless in my grip and broke free, she moaned angrily and stood up wiping tears from her eyes.
She walked away slowly, she no longer cared about walking barefoot, she just sobbed as she wandered sleepily away.
"Tawni..." i called, so soft she couldn't have heard me.
Alone again, solitude was taking its tole on me now, i began to question reality.
Exhausted i slumped back in my chair and attempted to sleep.
However once my eyes closed i new it was impossible.
When i opened my eyes i was no longer in the corridoor, i was in a stretcher being wheeled down a dark hallway.
Movement was impossible due to some barbaric harness, i could only turn my head to see the dark hospital rooms i was passing.
Every room was different, however all were as terrifying.
The first room was occupied by a dentist working on a patient.
It was far too dark for him to be able to see, screams of anguish agreed.
The dentist seemed to chuckle madly to itself as it pressed the drill deeper and deeper into the patients mouth, taking no concern to where it went.
I cringed and looked away. As i turned my head i caught a brief glimpse of my nurse, her face was masked, but that's not what frightened me.
Her eye lids had large thick black threads holding them closed. I turned to my right this time, a nother room. Just as terrifying.
A man in a large steel cage was being lowered into a pit, the doctor operating the levers turned to me, a light was cast on its face revealing a skinless smile of nothing more than gum and teeth. But i knew it was smiling, smiling right at me.
I lifted my head as high as possible to see directly in front of me, at the end of the hall was a surgery room, just like sonny's only bathed in blood and damaged beyond repair.
As i entered the room i noticed every sharp and pointy instrument of torture that hung above me, is this what i had subjected Sonny to?
The nurse seemed to have a difficult time deciding just what tool gets to see my insides first, i just prayed it was none of them.
She grabbed a bone saw, a sort of electric pizza slicer, only sharper. The blade sprung into life as it spun with great speed.
I watched powerlessly as it grew closer to my eyes,my whole body struggled in vein.
After what seemed only seconds i could see myself lying there as if a third person perspective, i tried to see my face.
Once the nurse moved out of the way, happy with her job, i saw the damage.
My eyelids had been sown just as hers were.
"Whats the matter Chad? don't like it when your the one under the scalpel?" said my butchered self, as he did he burst out laughed at me.
I shook myself awake, sat in the plastic chair outside the surgery room.
The hospital had returned to normal, however my heart still raced. I wiped the sweat from my brow and checked the time.
It has only been thirty minutes since i fell asleep, Sonny would have ages left to go.
I heard more footsteps, more manly than Tawni's, and of a calmer rhythm.
I looked to see, noone i know. I ignored them and stared at my feet waiting for him to pass.
He stopped directly in front of me and waited patiently.
He was wearing blue jeans with a white hoody top. His hood blocked his face.
He stood around 5"7 and fair build.
"Can i help you?" i asked patiently.
"Im here to help you" he replied malevolently, he spoke as if rehearsed.
Under his voice was a echo of his own voice, in time but of a lower pitch.
His voice worried me, but it brought peace to me as well.
"Who are you?" i asked perplexed.
"Im just a friend, just someone trying to make up for bad things hes done." he spoke regretfully and seemed to be flashbacking something.
I snapped my fingers at him, "yo! creepy dude! focus okay?" i smiled at him.
He looked at me, i couldn't see his face but blue eyes shined back at me.
"How could possibley help me?" i asked, i was scared of what his answer would be.
"Chad im a business man so to speak, however occasionally a business will give free samples just to lure others. You my friend are that lucky customer." He lowered the white hood and revealed his face.
His hair was blonde and short, nothing compared to my swish hair cut.
His face wasn't ugly but nothing compared to mine, his face was full of fresh cuts.
He smiled pearly white teeth at me and his eyes seemed to grow more and more blue.
"What kind of business?"every began to click together.
"I offer people things they can't have, in return for something they never use..." he smiled again.
"What could i possibley need but cant have?" i asked, he couldn't mean.
"Your little friend in there isn't going to make it Chad, I'm sorry. However give me something and shes yours." i stared into his eyes as he spoke.
Hypnotised i spoke "what do you want?" anything for sonny.
"Ive told you Chad, nothing important" from his pocket he removed an old piece of paper, it was riddled with words.
"Just sign right... here!" he pointed at the dotted line and smiled at me again.
Without control i grabbed his pen and wrote my name upon the contract.
As i did black ink seemed to begin colouring my skin, my skin was quickly turning night black.
The man stepped back still smiling. Frantically i watched my body being engulf by black until it had moved onto my face.
As the blackness went took over my eyes my vision depleted, my last vision was him, him just laughing.
I shook myself awake again, another nightmare?
This one seemed far too real, on my fingertips i noticed a black ink mark. Just a coincidence?
Next to me the door swung open and the Doctor emerged.
He removed his glasses and spoke, "Mr Cooper i have news..."
I stood to attention and my heart seemed to freeze.
"Sonny pulled through Mr Cooper, it was very peculiar, we were just calling the time of death when she began to breathe again. With very little medical attention she has pulled through fine." He smiled to me, something about it reminded me of someone.
My nightmare was but a clouded blur in my mind, however that smile seemed to bring back such horrible images.
I entered her room some time later with anxiety.
I walked slowly and cautiously up to her sleeping body.
She breathed easy, she smiled her brilliant smile.
She was enjoying the luxury of undisturbed dreams, holding her hand is when i found it.
On her fingertips were black ink marks, she could not have gotten them from me as i was holding hers with a different one.
More memories filled my mind, outside the window a bolt of lightning revealed briefly a man outside the window.
He looked in, just smiling, just smiling.
Hope you enjoyed, what was on that contract, did it even exist? Who was the hooded man?
Know that that is not the last chapter, i have a few more to do =D
