Chapter 9-

The stunningly beautiful Torrie had picked up the candle that lit the hallway and took it into the bathroom with her. She had already got lost once in this place and there was no way she was going to let it happen again.

She placed the candle on the edge of the bath so she could use the toilet. She did not take her time just in case someone walked in. She slammed down the lid and sat on the seat watching the flickering flame.

Her eyes were drawn to the mirror as the reflection of the flames created an interesting but strange lighting around the room. Torrie, started to shiver slightly feeling the draft coming through the single pane window.

Out of nowhere the troubled blonde felt a few tears start to run down her face. She tightly took a hold of the silver candle holder. She wrapped her hand around the silver and lifted it up from the bath edge. She was shaking his she tilted it slightly and turned her head to look at it side on.

Her shaking arm lowered the candle towards her lower arm. The tears increased as the naked flame touched her bare skin. Torrie started to cry in pain but her arm did not pull the candle away.

Torrie screamed as the bathroom door opened wide. The candle fell into the bath bringing the room into darkness. A tearful Torrie made herself fall down to the ground and scramble to the back of the room.

She heard a deep voice say "What were you doing?"

The attractive blonde tearfully answered "Just go away."

Much to Torrie's surprise there was no answer and the door shut again. Before she had a chance to get to her feet the door opened again and the most muscular of the patients John Cena was stood there holding a candle.

Torrie tearfully spoke again "I said go away."

John looked down at her clutching her arm. Even though the candle light was dim he could see that her arm had been burnt. John waited a few more seconds before saying "You were burning yourself weren't you?"

She tried to act assertive and snapped "It's none of your business." She let out a small cry as she felt herself squeeze tightly on the burn.

The tall handsome Cena sat on the edge of the bath and said "Stand up let me run your arm under water so that it doesn't turn bad."

She snapped again "What part of go away do you not understand?"

He looked into her eyes and joked "I not listen so well."

Torrie let out a little giggle and stood up next to John. He started to run the water so that it was warm. Torrie started to take slow steps towards the sink. He gently put his left arm on the part of her arm she had not burned.

John softly started to speak "This is going to sting but it has to run for a little bit, when it hurts really bad just squeeze on my other hand."

She nodded her head and waited for John to put her arm under the water. She yelped and clung to his hand as the water ran over the burn. The burn was stinging more as the water got hotter. John gritted his teeth a little as Torrie was bending his little finger almost out of its socket. He ran the water for another minute or so before turning the tap off.

Torrie pulled her arm away and held it close to her chest. John just looked at her as he clicked his finger back into place.

The beautiful blonde smiled in an apologetic way as she said "I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that."

He moved is finger a little to check it was ok before answering "It seems fine and if it stops working I will just go and buy another finger on eBay."

Torrie started to giggle as she sat on the lid of the toilet. She waited a few moments before saying "What was wrong with you earlier? You were very rude."

John coughed and replied "If I am ever like that just ignore me and stay away from me. I am not a pleasant person when I am like that."

Her voice went a little high as she said "Then why be like that in the first place?"

John raised his voice very slightly and said "Please drop it."

Torrie nervously moved towards the back of the lid and whispered "I'm sorry."

He stood up scratching the back of his head. He looked down and said "No I'm sorry, you didn't know. Just remember if you see me like that to stay away wouldn't want you to get hurt."

Her emerald green eyes stared into his ocean blue ones as the flickering candles highlighted their colors. She smiled "Thank you. I won't say another word."

As they both smiled the lights came back on. Torrie felt her breath disappear as she stared at John wearing a thin white t shirt. She wanted to talk but her racing heart wouldn't allow her.

He grinned again and said "We better go tell the staff we are ok."

Her soft voice answered "Let me get a jumper to cover my arm first."

…

The staff had been round to the dorms as soon as the lights had come on. All of the patients were instructed to stay in the rooms until all of them had been accounted for.

Eve had decided to just go to sleep. Even though she had a duvet over her as she turned over Layla and Cody could still see the back of her naked body. The British born Layla watched in amazement as Cody still as calm as a person could be reached up to one of the beds that wasn't being used and pulled down the duvet.

He folded it into thirds the first he hung over the edge of the bed. With the second he covered up Eve's exposed body and with the third he put it over Eve so that the other two did not leave her exposed again.

Cody sat back down and smiled to Layla saying "Just makes things a little less awkward."

The beautiful black haired girl just looked back at Cody's carefully thought of work with the duvet. She thought to herself "He is so calm in everything he does."

Her eyes were drawn to him again as she said "I don't think I have ever met anyone like you Cody."

…..

Maria had been with Stephanie McMahon so the coordinator already knew that she was ok. The stunning redheaded beauty asked if she could be excused to go to the bathroom. The young women entered the bathroom and locked the door.

She looked towards the mirror and spoke to the reflection "They are going to make me eat more. I'm going to put on weight, I'm going to get fat I can't let that that happen.

She dropped to her knees in front of the toilet seat. Her fingers moved up to her mouth. There were a few moments of silence.

Then the bathroom filled up with the echoing sound of coughing.

End of Chapter 9

I tried to write the two scenes with Torrie and Maria as carefully and with as much empathy as I could. I hope I didn't upset or offend anyone too much with them.

Thank you very much for the reviews for this story. It is such a good story to work with Amy on and plan together. So very glad that people still enjoy reading it.

Amy will be back with chapter ten.

Take care everyone and have a good week
