Noises floated and drifted around me, as my first awareness of consciousness was a persistent dull ache and a throbbing headache. I felt as if I was swimming upstream and I blinked several times before I finally was able to register my surroundings. Hospital, great how did I wake up here? Then upon further inspection, I realized that the place didn't have the usual smells and sounds.
"Hey, I see you finally decided to join me."
An eerie chuckle sounded behind me. I tried to speak but my thoughts were too jumbled to make a coherent sound and I almost choked as a few ice chips were shoved into my mouth.
"You're a cutie…a keeper. I bet you break a million girl's hearts."
For some reason her hand on my cheek gave me the heebie geebies. I tried to shift away from her, but I couldn't focus enough to command my body to obey any of my signals. I cringed as her finger brushed my lips. Finally I managed to croak out a very poor joke, far from my normal standard, "There seems to be a draft, I need…I need my jeans."
"Shhh, you just need to relax. That black dog did a number on your body. It will take some time for it to heal and in the meantime, we will have the opportunity to become better acquainted." She pulled a strand of her long back hair and tucked it behind her ear.
"How do you?" I stopped in mid-sentence as fatigue overwhelmed me and I began to drift in the wind and I couldn't even figure out why I was focusing on that particular song.
"Shhh…take a nice deep breath. That's it, just rest…I'll take care of everything."
"I need…don't" I hated how weak I felt, how unimportant but I couldn't disobey her and my mind once again floated towards oblivion. Then one last thought as I realized that I wasn't wearing anything but my birthday suit. I felt I should be more upset, as her hand seemed to caress my chest.
Valiantly, I tried one last time to speak my mind, "How did you, black dog…"
"Shhh, just sleep and get your strength back."
I wanted to kick her away, especially as I felt her body rubbing up closer and invading my space. I tried to move, to react but only fear greeted me as I shivered in her arms. I couldn't focus as I knew any moment I would be sliced open with no one willing to even come to my aid.
"Shhh, relax it will be easier this way, what a yummy dinner, such a nice boy covered in such deep complex emotions, you'll feed me for some time to come, pet. Just relax; it will go easier on you if you do."
Her laughter mixed with my scream as I lost the battle to consciousness.
