The Tormented Soul

Aleera's POV

Beep.

Beep.

In the distance I could hear the beeping sound again. And I know once again that I am alive. I could hear footsteps close to me. My eyes flickered a little before I started to open them. They felt heavy to open, but they opened slowly only to shut them again from the bright light that's shining in the room.

I tried again but this time I squeezed opened my eyes so they could adjust to the light. It felt like it took hours for me to open them when it only took minutes. I looked around and I saw that I am in the same room I woke up in before.

I noticed something soft behind my head, that felt amazing and I knew it was a pillow. I was in such a panic state before that I did not notice it last time. It was years ago I actually had one. I looked down and noticed a white duvet covering me, it was nice and warm.

I moved my hand and felt the needle that I pulled out before was now back in. I noticed my body was connected to some machines and the irritating sound was coming from them. It was so annoying that I wanted to smash it against the wall.

I moved my head around the room and I could see the same unknown woman as before in the white lab coat. She had her back towards me and was doing something but I can’t see. All of a sudden she turns around like she knew I was awake. She meets my eyes with a warm smile and takes a deep breath.

"Oh good morning, my dear, please take it easy and what you did last time, don't you ever do that again. I almost lost you." She said in a disproving tone and paused for a few seconds before she continued.

"You were out for three days and we were so worried about you, so please whatever you do don't try to fight to get away again. We just want to help you get better. You are safe here. No one here will hurt you." The unknown woman said.

'Pixie, we need to get out of here, I don't trust her!' I screamed out through our mind link.
