Meredith was in trying to get some sleep in the on-call room. The door opened but she didn't open her eyes, why would she? Whoever entered the room locked the door behind them. 'Can you unlock the door please? I'm on call in the pit.' Meredith said quietly. The next thing Meredith knew was the pressure of somebody lying on top of her. She tried to scream but no sound came out. She kept her eyes tight shut. He pulled the covers from the bed and threw them on the floor. Meredith curled into the foetal position, he didn't care. He pulled her scrub bottoms off, along with her panties. He slipped his hand up her scrub top and squeezed her. Meredith just cried, she'd never felt this violated before. She froze, she didn't move. He pulled his own scrubs down and forced himself inside her. It hurt. It felt like he had ripped her insides out. She felt a warm sticky substance between her legs and he started to laugh. He had just raped Meredith Grey and he laughed. He raped her again and again. She didn't move or react. He pulled a knife out of his pocket and pressed it against her face. He cut her above against her right eye and told her she had five minutes to run and hide. Five minutes and he'd rape her and kill her. So, she ran. She ran into the vent room and locked the door.
Meredith woke up screaming.
Meredith got up and hid in the wardrobe. She shut the door and fell back to sleep. Cristina watched this odd behaviour but didn't question it. If she felt safe who was she to disrupt that? Cristina too fell back to sleep and was woken several hours later by Zola.'Aunty Cristina. Aunty Cristina. I know all of the steps for an appendectomy.' Zola boasted excitedly. 'That's great Zozo. You can tell me all about it later. Take your brother down stairs whilst I get dressed.' Cristina replied with a tired smile. Cristina wad tired. She'd been awake all night. Meredith ' s screaming episode happened 3 or 4 more times before the morning came. Whatever had happened to her had traumatised her.
Cristina went over to the wardrobe and knocked. Meredith opened the door. 'How did I get in here?' Meredith asked with a sleepy and Confused look on her face. 'You had a nightmare and hid in there. Are you alright?' Cristina enlightened her. 'Yeah, yeah I'm just having trouble sleeping.' She replied. Cristina was sceptical but didn't say anything. 'Zola just came in here to tell me she knows all the steps to an appy.' Cristina joked. Meredith laughed. Zola did know.
