The Strange Peculiar Bizarre Town The Hospital Arc Part Two

Nurse

The following day Menlida had felt off as she lay there. She had a sick feeling but the one thing that she had in her most deepest of thoughts, was how little she remembered of the day before yesterday. In fact it was nothing but a blur. The only thing that she could recall of any of it was the intense desire to get out the hospital as soon as she could. She could not place why she had such an irrational thought however she tried to put it away, it persisted in her mind like a song stuck in her head, and like a song stuck in her head, it would not go away. She wondered if there was a rational reason, but for the life of her she could not come up with one. So, she had no choice but to let it stay, as she could do nothing about it.

Her injuries did not seem to be healing any faster,in fact she could feel that the ones done to her legs seemed to have become worse, and there were the new bandages that seemed to have been changed even-though she had no memory of them being changed. She could also that she felt slightly hot too.

“Are you alright?” asked Jaden as she looked at her.

She snapped back into reality.

“Oh, yeah.” she replied absent-mindedly.

“You don't look it.” remarked Matilda.

She frown ed.

“I don't?”

“No,you don't.”

“Must be coming down with something then,” she said as she placed a hand on her forehead.

She then spotted that Nurse Noranna came in. Suddenly she felt a knot in her stomach. She placed her hand on her stomach. She tried massaging it to help it become less painful but as Nurse Noranna came closer the knot only hurt more.

“Urm, Nurse, could you see if I'm coming down with anything?” she asked.

She looked at her with a cold type of concern and, for a moment, her features softened. She took out a thermometer.

“Open.” she said as she put it in her mouth. She sucked on it for a moment as she thought about this strange bit of behaviour that her body was displaying. She then pulled it out again and took a glance at it.

“You seem fine, but your temperature does seem to be slightly high. However I am pretty sure that it's nothing to worry about. Maybe you just need more rest.” she said. “Speaking of which, I'm sorry to say that visiting times are over. So I'll let you have a moment to say your goodbyes and leave.”

They nodded as Matilda looked at her suspiciously but said nothing.

“Alright, goodbye.” she said.

“See you tomorrow.” she said.

“Get well soon, sis.” Jaden said.

She smiled as she waved at them as they left. However as they did she could not help but have the ever increasing dread build up inside of her.

“Now, lie down.” she said, her cold hard look had returned.

She did what she was told. She then injected something into her drip. She soon found that it became difficult to move. Then she felt two needles in her arms. Soon her vanes felt like they were on fire. Then the memories of the day before yesterday flooded her mind. She tried to scream out and shout of help but she soon relieved that she was paralysed. She knew that this was not normal for British hospital behaviour.

Why? Why're they doing this to me? What're they doing to me? Are they doing this to any other patients? If not, ten why? Why me? Is it because I'm not from here? No, that couldn't be it, after all my parents were both from here. So then, why me? Why it all of this happening to me?

She cried as the pain, yet again, caused her to pass out. When she came too she could still feel the burning in her vanes. She slipped out of bed as silently as she could. She could feel the pain as the wounds in her legs flared up like fire. She knew that they would soon start swelling and that it would cause them to get worse but she knew that she had to get out of here.

She bit her lip as she ran across the corridor, she flew herself on the bannister and flew down it. She did her best to make sure that there were none around as she arrived at the bottom she then ran and as she did she could feel herself getting hotter and her legs felt like there were over a thousand needles in er legs. She felt the tears fall as the pain was getting to her.

She could see the exit ahead until she felt herself being pulled back. Then she felt something over her mouth. Immediately she held her breath as she already knew what was over her mouth and nose.

“Shh, come on. You can't hold your breath forever.” Nurse Noranna whispered in her ear.

She tried to keep her breath held but then she knew that she was right. She could even feel her lungs hurting as she tried to stop herself from breathing. Then she could not take it any longer and then she took one deep breath and her eye closed.

Then she was paralysed and she soon felt the injections of fire. Yet even-though she was in completely in agony, she must have appeared to be sleeping soundly and sweetly/ Nothing to show anyone that she was in what could have called been nothing an inferno. However, she did all that she had to to keep her mind clear.

Then she woke up however as she did she did all she could to pretend that she was still asleep. She could hear two people talking, it took her a while for her hear what they were saying.

“And what if he finds out before-”

“Look, Nor', we have her for that!” he shouted.

I knew it! They're trying to kill me! Why are they trying to kill me? What've I done to them? I have got to get out of here before they do.

“And what if he find out about that? What will he do then?” she heard Nurse Noranna shout.

“Oh please, as if he cares for that girl! If he did wouldn't he be here?” she head Doctor Morty shout.

“And what if he's already here?”

“We'll just have to find that out once we come to that bridge. He's not going to hurt you like he did Sue.”

“I still see her...in my dreams...what he did!”

She felt a nudge in her bed and a tear hit her forehead. She even heard a hiss.

“I know, but we have her, and if we can't find a way to kill him then well just have to find a way to make her do it.”

What? But I don't want to become a killer! And who are they talking about?

“Yeah, you're right. I think that we should. Also I think we aught to get that sister of hers too. Just in case.”

What? No Jaden! Why do they want to involve her in all this?

She felt a hand on her forehead. She knew that it was the nurse. She did not want her to touch her. She wanted her to get her off her as soon as possible.

Just get off me! Just leave me alone!

“Aw!” the Nurse exclaimed as she whipped her hand away.

“What?”

“I-I don't know...Suddenly her forehead became really, really hot just now!” she shouted as she showed her hand. His eyes widened.

“Your hand! It's burnt!”

“Yeah, it is...”

“How?”

They looked at Melinda. Suddenly she felt slightly scared that they would soon find out that she was awake. She then felt something in her mouth. Judging by the feel of it she could tell that it was a thermometer. Soon the red rose higher than it not only than it should have been but rose almost to the top! Then it was taken out.

“What? But that's impossible! If this is right then-”

“She should be dead!”

“But then why isn't she?”
