White walls, White floor, White bed sheets Everything was white, except for the emotions of the people who worry for their loved ones in a room as such. People would say, Don t walk to the white light! But what to do when you were already surrounded by it?
It was not as if you could escape The Halls where empty and the constant beeping of machine kept the room alive. A horrible, horrible view. I wished never to sit in a Cream-colored plastic chair with my head bend down in shame. The window beside me showed the dark night sky. No stars were shown tonight and silent raindrops made their way down, to nourish the earth.
I m sorry I whispered as I shut my eyes close. I could feel tears waiting to spill. But I couldn t cry, not when I was here. But of course, everything was against me that moment, and a single tear rolled down my flushed check.
'Drip'
The orange door opened and I quickly wiped the dears away. I looked up, saw my mother standing there, and look at me. "Sweetie..." she started.
I was neither in the mood to talk to her, nor to anybody else. It was 10 in the evening, and I had school tomorrow. I mentally growled at the thought. It reminded me that I still had Math homework waiting for me on my desk. But that was just a side thing. I heard my mother sight and looked away towards the bed that stood in the room we were in.
"You really need to go with me now. You have class tomorrow..." Her voice was shaking and barely above the whisper.
"No I simply refuse to leave now. Now that someone needed me the most."
"But sweetie-"
"I said no mother." I raised my voice slightly. Now I was regretting it. I shouldn t talk like that to my mother. Above all, she hasn t done anything. I looked at her with a regretful look. Many thoughts raised though my mind as I gazed upon the white floor.
Should I have stepped in?
Could I have prevented Aki to be in such a state?
Was it my fault?
Sure Aki was still alive-for now at least- but he still got hurt. How about if those Mafia people return? What if that prince boy returns? Will Aki get away with a mare heart attack? Or might he . No, I didn t even wish to think about that.
In the white bed laid a figure, its chest rising up and down in an even place. The face of the person was peaceful, too peaceful for my taste. I could still hear the doctor s voice telling me that Aki would be well soon. Can someone tell me what soon means in doctor language?
I needed him. I needed his grandfather figure. I needed him to welcome me to my second home. I needed him to be there for me and my passion for his shop. My mother sighted heavily again.
"Ok dear, I hope you know what you are doing. I ll leave you hear for tonight, and tonight only. Tomorrow morning I shall call your school to inform them of your absence. But if your grades shall be affected by this, you re going to get into trouble young lady." She walked over to me and kissed m head lovingly.
Stroking my cheek, she glanced at the older man in the bed. And with a short good bye, she left. I heard mothers footsteps fade away in the hall and looked at the hospital room for the fifth time today. It was plain. A TV, a lot of machines and so on.
The room was simply to plane for my taste and slowly I was having second thoughts about spending the night in a hospital. This whole situation reminded me of a horror movie where zombies were just waiting to feed on my flesh. The hair on my neck stood up and I shivered. This was going to be a long night
It was about midnight and I was already half asleep on the uncomfortable chair as the orange door opened. My eyes shoot open as something white caught my eye. "You're still awake?" Came a rather soft voice. I tried focusing my eyes by rubbing them and looked at the woman before me.
"Who...are you?" I asked and took her in. Her blonde hair was tied up in a low ponytail and she had a white coat on. A pair of glasses sat at her nose bridge and her blue gray eyes looked at me. Her full lips were curved up in a smile, covered in red lipstick.
"I m Dr. Wunoko." She said. Wunoko? That's ... a unique name.
"Ok, Dr. Why, if I may ask, are you here at..." I glanced at the clock quickly. "Midnight?" She just replied with a quick 'To check on things'. I brushed it off and watched her with heavy eyes as she took down notes after looking at machines.
"You should go to sleep darling. Can I get you something?" She asked. How nice of her.
"Do you have hot chocolate here?" I asked her as I started to seat up straight. I frowned, due to the fact that, my butt hurt. I blame the chair completely!
"Yes, we do have that in the canteen. I can show you the way." She said and raised both her eyebrows.
Should I? I hesitated because I didn't wish to travel though dark hospital hallways at midnight.
"Come on, I ll Show you the way." She said and smiled warmly. Somehow I thought, she was being too nice. I got up and followed her out the room. The door closed behind me as I took a last glance at the sleeping or rather unconscious Shop owner.
The doctor and I passed several other rooms with numbers on them. I was getting lost. There were so many ways to walk! It all looked the same to me, except for the numbers on each door. A blue singe with cafeteria written on it hung from the ceiling. An arrow pointed to the left and that was the way we took. The walk was rather silent and even awkward.
I just knew something was odd in this hospital or perhaps out of place. Or maybe it was the totally nice doctor who was walking a few feet s before me. Was she perhaps that something that made this my senses stay alert?
That couldn't be, she was too nice for that. But exactly that bothered me in the first place. I looked back down the hall in hope to see the Room 398 on the right side of the wall. But that room was nowhere in sight, which was honestly no wonder. After another few turns and going through doors we reached the empty cafeteria. Either it wasn t the Main cafeteria or no one else was hungry or thirsty, because we were the only people there.
But then again it isn t really a cafeteria. Looking around I noticed empty seats lined up on the walls with coffee tables here and there. On one Table was a bunch of magazines. On the corner to the right was a small food stand with no one in it.
Next to it were machines, food machines. On it, was a girl holding up a chocolate bar and smiling brightly. I could imagine her thinking Don t eat! Must resist, you'll get fat of it . Like anyone would care... Well I wouldn t. Next to, it was a Machine that would spend drinks. On this one was a rather handsome Actor with a bottle of Coca Cola in his right hand while winking.
I bit my lower lip as I thought about how handsome he looked. On one wall were a TV, which was turned off, and a radio on top of a shelf. The lady beside me walked towards the machine with the handsome actor on it. I watched her curiously, as she slipped a coin in it and pushed a few buttons.
A plastic cup was then filled with hot water, milk and other things I couldn t make out. While she continued to wait for the drink, I went to the magazines and took a look at them. I quickly discovered a fashion magazine and searched for the Horoscope. I knew the magazine was the one from 4 month ago, but what did it matter?
Believe me when I say, that I don t believe in this horoscope thing, but it didn t harm to look it up right?
"Here you are dear." The woman stood beside me and held the brown cup towards me. I looked at it and blinked.
"Did you buy it for me? I could have gotten it myself." I said and looked at her.
She just smiled and said "Oh come on, It one me, Drink it already." I took the cup and saw how the hot chocolate had a rather unordinary color. I remember how mother said never to accept food or drinks from strangers.
But I didn t believe she would like to poison me, and we wouldn t want that delicious cup if chocolate go to waste, right? So I took it from her and thanked her. As I lifted it to my mouth, something whiny flashed though the air and made me drop the cup. This time I was definitely not hallucinating!
People, there was a slender silver knife lying in the, now spilled liquid! The brown liquid continued to spread on the ground as I backed away slowly. The blonde doctor looked rather angry at the accident and looked around the room. Most probably looking for the source, from where the knife came.
"Who's there?" She asked and looked around fanatically. "Curse it..." She finally said, as she got no answer and opened her coat. I just hope she wouldn't strip, I was straight and I was damn sure I thought boys were hot and not woman, not even Pamela Anderson!
I didn t know I was supposed to be relived or terrified as she pulled out a pocket knife. Ok, I rather should be terrified. But come on, what kind of straight girl would want to be raped by a lesbian doctor? Huh?!? Don't get me wrong, one of my closest friend likes girls! And she has one heck of a personality!
"What are you trying to do with that?" I asked and even the knife in her left hand nervously.
"You may guess 3 times sweetie." She said and moved the knife to an angle where it reflected the light.
"Please tell me you want to cut a cake or something." I said and backed away.
"There are 3 things you should know." She started and looked at me arrogantly."First, I m not a doctor. I'm a assassin, from the mafia Second, I didn't want to check on Aki, I wanted to kill him, but you where there, I couldn t just let a witness be there, now could I? And third, with this knife I'll send you to hell." She said and giggled. How could she giggle?!? "You must be kidding..." I barely whispered.
"No such luck girly" She said and walked towards me.
"Lady, no one is allowed to play with her but me the prince himself of course ushishishishi" encored a voice though out the room. The doctor stopped in her track and turned to her left. So did it, I knew that voice! A shadowed figure sat in the window frame and leaded with its back on it. The figure was playing with a blade in its fingers. Nothing was to be seen from the figure except the shining knife and a beautiful silver tiara. That was it!
The tiara! It was that blond mafia boy who s name slipped me! I gasped and backed away. How ironic people!
"Go ahead and run my pray I shall hunt you down later." He said and laughed while throwing the knife. The woman screamed as his hit landed perfectly in her hand with the knife and the knife in her hand fell to the floor.
"You... Who are you?!?" She asked.
"Call me, Prince the Ripper." he simply said. While she was distracted I slowly stepped backwards towards the exit. This was crazy! Now I had a proof that doctors were evil! And concerning what the guy said about 'pray' and 'hunting me down later', i had no idea what to think of it.
I didn't know if that was hero like to save me, or villain like to kill me later on and making me run for my life first. But coming to the conclusion that I was too innocent and young to die, I took the chance and ran out the doors.
I heard the woman curse again before I heard the sound of metal clashing together. Somewhere I hoped the prince boy to win, at least he was evil from the beginning and didn't wish to poison me with a cup of irresistible hot chocolate.
But somewhere I knew, this night only has begun...
