She opened her eyes, "Hmm… Yeah?" She looked around the room and when she saw Will she went to sit up and say something about over reacting, but she gasped in pain and just leaned back on the pillow. She placed her arm over the wound met Helen's eyes then Nikola's eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get so angry… and well punch him in the nose, but… But… I don't know…" She sighed and looked over at Will again, "I am sorry I punched you Will." She said.
"That's okay I probably had it coming after bombarding you with those questions." He smiled at her apologetically.
"Oh and I'm sorry you couldn't profile me and figure me out." She said with a smirk on her face, Nikola laughed at her comment and smiled at her. "When can I leave and put some clothes on?" She said looked down at the white sheet covering her. Thankfully her underwear hadn't gotten blood on them. "By the way, you owe me new pyjama pants and new a singlet, whoever cut them of me." She looked questioningly between Helen and Nikola.
Nikola stuck his hand up like he had the answer to a question in school. "That would be me, and yes I'll buy you new ones." He smiled at her glad that she was okay.
Helen walked over too Will and did a final check on his nose, "Your nose will be fine Will, come on, your all good to leave." She said and gestured for him to get up.
"I'm just worried about my pride." Will mumbled as he left the room.
"Now I need to check your blood again, so hold out your arm." Helen said as she grabbed a needle.
"I'm sure there's plenty of on my clothes you can use," She grinned cheekily, but she didn't want the needle near her, she hated them.
"Ha-ha," Helen replied sarcastically, "Not going to happen, now hold out your arm." Reluctantly Isabella did what she said. She grimaced and looked away.
"Someone doesn't like needles." Nikola teased, but he took her hand in his and smiled.
"It's all over now…" Was all Isabella heard, until a memory flash in her mind.
He walked up to her while the guards where away having dinner, she appeared unconscious, but he knew she wasn't. He walked up to her with a glass of water and two bananas, "Isabella, it's me." He said simply knowing she would cut the act, and sure enough she did and she looked up at him, she looked so weak, he didn't know what they were doing to her, besides torturing her, but he knew that they were doing something, he'd seen the needles and the injections they gave her. She was too weak to handle all of this, so he lifted the water to her mouth and she drank all of it, she looked a little stronger from it. He used his key for the shackles around her wrists to unlock them, the guards gave it to him, but before he unlocked them he would give her a sedative first so she could run. He gave her both of the bananas and she ate them happily. "Do you feel up to getting out of her?" He asked her quietly. She nodded in response, he never heard her say a thing, 'poor girl was probably frightened that she would get beaten if she did' he thought.
She stood by herself, and she felt the adrenaline in her body, hoping it would last long enough to get out of this hell hole. She watched as he inspected outside her door, he motioned for her to come; she followed him down the hall when a man appeared in front of them. The doctor was obviously prepared, because he blocked the first punch and then he grabbed a needle out of his bag and shoved it into the man's neck, he fell to the ground unconscious. The doctor was obviously very prepared because he had done the same thing to several other men, but when he ran out of sedatives he was only left with knives. The man couldn't through a knife to save his life, Isabella picked up the knives one by one and threw them at all of the guards trying to kill them. She hit all of them in fatal places, but one man was sneaking up behind The Doctor, so she round house kicked him in the head knocking him unconscious.
They finally reached a door, "finally the door to your freedom," he said looking at the door, and then he turned to her and smiled. She dropped her remaining knife and walked forward. He pushed open the door and walked out into the sunlight and fresh air.
She followed out and she took in a deep breath and let the sun rays hit her skin, but her adrenaline rush was starting to fade.
"It's all over now…" Was the last thing she heard before she collapsed and passed out from her lack of energy.
She shook her head to get rid of the memory, no one was talking and she only sensed one person with her. She only realised that she had been absent mindedly rubbing her wrist from where the shackles had once been when a hand touched her arm, she looked up to see a worried Helen looking down at her. "What's wrong?" Helen asked in a kind voice which was mixed with concern.
"It- It was just a memory, it's okay." She said reassuringly. "Where did Nikola go?" She asked looking around the room, but he wasn't there.
"If you ever want to talk to me about it, just come and see me," she smiled down at her "And he's gone to get you some clothes from your room," just she said that he walked into the room,
"Ah speak of the devil." She smiled at him.
"You better be grateful, I was going to grab this very short, tight, and black leather dress and stockings you had in there, but I didn't think you would want me too… But there is a question floating around my mind… Why do you have a very short, tight, and black leather dress with matching black leather thigh high boots?" He said walking over to Isabella and Helen with clothes in his hands and he placed them on the end of her bed and raised an eyebrow waiting for an answer. Helen looked at her curiously.
"I don't have an outfit like that Nikola… Much to your disappointment. " She shook her head at him and laughed, but secretly she actually did have something like that but neither of them needed to know. "Helen can you help me up so I can get changed?" She asked once their laughing had subsided.
"Of course," Helen replied and helped her up and off the bed.
She felt much better standing; the pain wasn't as bad as it was actually getting up. She remember that she had bruises on her thighs from the men, when she let go of the sheet to get dressed Nikola and Helen finally registered them and she looked away as she pulled the navy blue dress over her torso and her thighs and she pulled the stockings on that Nikola brought to her.
She ran her fingers through her long hair and wouldn't meet there eyes. She wished all the bruises would go away so whenever someone saw were they would have been she wouldn't be ashamed. She finally looked up at them, she could tell by the looks on their faces that they knew how the bruises got there, especially the ones on her thighs, so she held her head high and tried to push back the memories. She turned around so she couldn't see them and they couldn't see her face as a tear silently fell down her cheek. She felt strong arms wrap around her waist and hug her from behind and she felt him rest his chin on her shoulder, which made a couple more tears escape. She turned around and cried into his chest, he instantly started murmuring softly in her ear about how he'll never let anything like that ever happen to her again and other things.
Helen closed the distance between the three of them, placed her hand on her sister's shoulder and squeezed it. "Everything will be fine Isabella, I promise." She said as Isabella looked up at her with tear stained cheeks.
