The Tormented Soul

Aleera's POV

A knock at the door made both of us jump. The door opened and Cassie walked in with a plate full of food on it. Celia noticed the frightened look that was all over my face.

"Don't worry, she is my sister Cassie, I asked her to bring some food because you asked me not to leave you alone." Celia told me in a composed voice.

Cassie put the plate with food on the table that Celia had put over the bed and left the room.

I looked down at the plate and was shocked, was this all for me. The plate had mashed potatoes and meatloaf, it looked so good. As if on queue my stomach starts to make a growling sound. I look up at Celia. I was still afraid to eat.

"Come hun, eat up." Celia told me in a calming tone. I shook my head again, still afraid. Celia noticed the fear in my eyes. She put her hands on my shoulder so she could make eye contact with me.

"You need to eat, so you can heal faster. I promise nothing will happen to you if you take the food." She tells me in a trusting voice.

I stretched out my hand to take the spoon, my hand shaking the whole time. I got some food on the spoon and moved it to my mouth. My hand was shaking so I almost spilled the food and the IV line in my hand did not help me at all. I was so frightened someone would beat, or rape me if I eat so I was on a high alert.

When the food came in contact with my taste buds, it was like an explosion, the taste was so good. I loved it. I swallowed the first spoon with food. I hope Celia was telling me the truth, I don't know if I will be able to handle more stuff like I had to suffer in my past. I took another spoon full of food and put it in my mouth. When I had swallowed the second one the door opened and he walked in. I don't remember the name. He saw that I was awake and a huge smile formed on his face.
