chapter 23

(Don't forget to vote and comment love🖤 )

I slowly opened my eyes.

I had to blink several times to adjust to the

bright lights in the room.

Was heaven this bright? Cause this can't be hell....

'Wait a minute!'

I held my thoughts on being in heaven when I saw a small table next to my bed.

After a while, I realized it was a counter.

I looked closer to what was on top of it.

The counter had a box that looked like a first aid kit, some gloves and a stethoscope.

I kept looking around.

I was in a small room, with white walls.

Then, I was laying on a small bed.

Of course, I was in a hospital.

I looked at my hand where i slit. It was

bandaged and there was no blood visible.

It still hurt a little but I could tell my wound was treated.

I tried to sit up butI felt light headed.

I felt so dizzy.

But I endured and sat up straight on the bed.

Just then, I saw Sin seated on a chair next to the door. He had his elbows on his thighs and he was bent with his head between his hands I only looked at him for three seconds before he raised his head and looked back at me.

He like he was studying me for a few seconds.

"Finally you're awake!" He said sounding

pissed.

He got up from the chair and walked over to me. That was enough for him to scare me.

He stood next to the bed and leaned in having his face next to mine, with his palms on his thighs.

"You are one annoying little girl. You want me to baby sit you to stop you from doing

something crazy?"

He gritted his teeth as he talked.

I couldn't look at him in the eye because I did not what to see those angry eyes.

"You tried to commit suicide?... Huh!.. You

know, I really want to scold you right now. But... We need to move... If you hadn't woken up in 10 minutes I would have carried you away

unconscious."

I kept quiet nothing saying anything back.

I was really hoping to be dead by now. Why did he even save me?

He held me by the upper arms to get me off the bed.

He was a little gentle, maybe because I had an injury.

When I got to my feet, I noticed I was still in the jumper and my dress.

Its just that my left arm, the jumper was folded.

I was so bloody. My white dress was stained red.

Just then, a doctor came in. He was a tall man with short black hair. He had a white coat on.

He also had some pills and dressings in his

hands.

"Change the dressing and clean the wound after every three days. This pills are the painkillers to help with the pain. This liquid medication, is for iron. She lost a lot of blood she needs help recovering it back. Use its small colorless cup. Two full cups a day, one for morning, one for

evening." He said giving Sin the medicines and dressings.

"Thank you doctor." Sin said to him sounding very polite.

"You're lucky you found her when you did. She cut a very important blood vessel ... She would have died." He said sounding serious.

Then he looked at me for a few seconds before looking back at Sin.

"I will make sure that never happens again!"

That definitely sounds like a promise to the doctor, but a warning to me.

"Okay you need to go. I saw one of the nurses peeping through the window. You should go before someone in my hospital recognizes you."

"Thank you man. I owe you."

"No problem. And you don't. I owed you long ago, now.... A debt paid." The doctor said smiling.

Sin went back to the chair and took a bag. He then opened it and took a black dress from it.

He brought it to me. "Go in there,(pointing) its the bathroom. Put this on and bring me the clothes you're wearing. Hurry up."

I endured the headache and went to the

bathroom.

My wrist hurt so bad but quickly I took my clothes off including my bra and wore the black dress. It was long enough to reach my knees.

I came back and gave the dress, bra covered by the dress and jumper to Sin who put it in the

bag.

I guess he would dispose them later.

He then took a scarf and wrapped it on my head having some of it covering my face.

Then he put his hoodie on his head to help cover him too.

"Use a fire exist to leave, the entrance may not be safe.... Now go! Go! Go now!" The doctor insisted.

Sin put the bag on his back, nodded to the

doctor who nodded back, then took my right hand.

He wanted to get us away quietly.

I kept following him. I was too tired and weak right now to even try anything.

What's the point? I failed each time.

We kept walking through the hallway which had some people but not a lot.

Suddenly, Sin had us take a U turn and go back in the direction we came from.

That felt sudden and odd.

I turned around to see why, and I saw a police officer talking to a nurse.

She looked like she was describing something.

Could it be the nurse the doctor mentioned?

Did she call the police?

I wanted to say something, do something to get their attention, but I was too afraid to.

And I was so dizzy I could barely walk, let alone cause a scene.

I guess I did lose that much blood.

Sin had to now hold me by the waist to support me and help me walk and keep up.

We went through another fire escape door.

I expected the alarm to go off after we opened it or something, but it didn't.

We walked to a parking lot where he got me into his car.

Looking at the skies, it was definitely sunset time.

Close to nighttime too.

He got in the driver's seat then drove us away.

He drove for about 20 minutes speeding away before he stopped at the gas station.

He opened the trunk and took two jerry cans.

He filled them, then added fuel to the car.

After he was done, he put the jerry cans back in the car boot.

He then came back to the driver's seat.

I expected him to drive immediately but he just turned to me.

"What the hell was that?" He asked angrily.

I almost died, I might as well be a little brave.

I turned to him gathering every courageous bone in me.

"I wanted to die, so I slit my wrist to achieve that." I said that calmly.

He sighed looking away.

He didn't say anything so I continued.

"I don't get it Sin or Jackson... Or whatever your name is... Why did you save me? You're going to kill me anyway? I wanted to die because of you, so technically you did kill me. You are to be

blamed."

He went quiet for almost a minute. I could feel the tension he was creating in the vehicle.

"You either die by my hands or you don't die at all." He finally said.

I looked at him confused.

"You want me dead. You told me from day one you would kill me. You should have just let me die.... Maybe next time when I try it again, because I am doing that again, don't save me."

Just then, he turned to me. He leaned close to me as his eyes turned dark.

He had that look I fear the most.

Those villain soulless eyes. And the red angry face.

"Try such a thing again? Try to kill yourself again? And I will show you things worse than death." He said softly but his voice held so much venom.

That tone was soft but far from friendly.

"You see Jennie, if I even so catch you self

harming yourself in any way, you will receive a gruesome punishment from me. I haven't done anything to you yet. I haven't even hit you. So you have no idea what I am capable of. I wil torture you every single day leaving you on the

verge of dying but saving you so you can keep suffering. I will fill your body with wounds and your head with nightmare like memories. If you try to take your own life again, I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in exquisite agony, wishing for a mercy of death which you will never get!" He then paused looking at me.

My body started shaking as I backed away. But I could only move as far as my back touching the car the door.

He didn't smirk, he didn't smile. His face was serious and unfriendly as he continued.

"If I see a drop of blood from your skin that you caused, if I see any scar or wound in your body that you created, you will receive a life so cruel, the devil himself will weep!"

He paused again then took my chin with his thumb and index finger and pulled me closer to him.

Our noses were touching as he stared into my eyes.

"You will be in an inescapable prison of nothing but anguish... If you want that for yourself I will happily deliver it to you. And I, do not make promises I cant keep. I do not make empty threats. I... Don't... Say... What....I ... Wouldn't... Do!"

He then let me go and put his hands on the steering wheel.

I held my chest as my heart was beating fast.

I did not what to find out if his threats were empty or not. I did not need him even slapping me.

I wont survive!

Not that I want to survive anyway. But I knew I won't physically die either.

So I kept my mouth shut and didn't say

anything back to him as he started driving

away.

We spend the whole night driving silently.

I had no idea where we were going and I was not going to ask.

I dozed off many times throughout and woke up after some time to see him still driving with his face focused on the road.

I fell asleep again and was woken up by the sound of the helicopter.

It was so loud.

I looked around and it was morning.

I stretched a little as I tried to figure my

soundings.

There was a black helicopter ahead of us with two men dressed in black suits next to the door.

The car kept going closer and then stopped at a distance but still close to it.

The two men walked over to us.

Sin got out the car then came to my door.

He opened it for me and took my arm helping me out. More like dragging me out. But less rough than usual.

The two men opened the car boot, took the bags inside and took them to the helicopter loading them there.

Sin then gave one the car keys as he pulled me towards the chopper.

I went in first and then he followed.

There was one other man inside too dressed in black suit who sat on my right.

Then, a pilot on the front.

The chopper immediately took to the sky.

My heart was beating fast wondering where we were going.

I was right to worry about leaving the cabin. If where we were going next we had to be taken by a chopper, it can't be good.

It can't be close.

I don't know how long the flying took but soon we were landing.

I looked through the window.

It looked like a beach.

I kept looking closely, seeing the ocean, palm trees and sand. Being in the middle, I could not see clearly. I had lean in a little to Sin.

"Its an island princess. A private island where no one would even think to look for you."

Sin whispered in my ear.

I turned to look at him and he was smiling at me in a very creepy way.

We had to get off of the chopper with the

propeller still spinning.

Sin took my right hand and helped me out.

He even carried me off the helicopter.

We walked to a distance from the chopper as the man who sat next to me started unloading the bags.

We stood there watching him.

"I'll take them inside myself!" Sin shouted at the man since the helicopter was so loud, who nodded and went back in the helicopter.

I watched it take off as my heart broke for the millionth time.

I looked around the island. As far as my eyes could see.

The island had a beautiful house there, next to the beach, next to the waters.

It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. But it was a pretty house.

And this island was very quiet and looked like a private place.

I could not hear any sounds after the helicopter left.

Who would even come to look for me here?

No one would ever find us here.

Even I had no idea which ocean we were on.

Sin was just beyond evil.

He took me inside quickly not giving me time to even look at anything then brought me to a bedroom.

And then, locked me inside alone.
