Recovery

I woke up my vision a bit foggy but I could tell I was in a hospital from the sterilized smell, uncomfortable bed and the needle in my arm. I suddenly feel someone holding my hand and I look over and see Prince Max sitting beside me on the bed. A few minutes later the doctor comes in, gives me a check up and says, " You will be able to leave in about a week, you just need to get a lot of rest." After the doctor left Prince Max, Emily, my mom, and Carol got to visit me. Once visiting time was over I went back to sleep thinking about what happened to Abigail. In the middle of the night I woke up and I saw my father walk in. He walked to the side of my bed and sat down, there was silence for a moment until he spoke, " You don't have to worry about Abigail ever again, she got what she deserved." I murmured, " What happened to her?" He smiled softly and asked, " Do you really want to know?" I hesitated for a second then nodded. He answered, " We found her walking on the sidewalk sobbing. We kidnapped her and tortured her until she fell unconscious, then disposed of her, we recorded it all in case you wanted to watch." We talked some more and he finally left and I was left to my thoughts.

The next week I just rested and was visited daily by Emily, my mom, and Prince Max and every night at midnight my father would come visit and talk to me. I was finally let out of the hospital and was greeted by many of the participants when we arrived at the palace. I gained many friends and gifts. Around 1 in the afternoon the prince handed me a small box and said, " This was left for you, it doesn't say who it was from." I nodded and took the gift. After the celebration I went to my room and put away my gifts. I got a picture frame from my new friend, Julia, a candle from Nancy, a stuffed zebra from Dalora, some fancy homemade chocolates from the cooks, and some new dresses from Anna, Kaitlyn, and Sarah. I set the unknown gift on the nightstand beside my bed and started reading but once in a while I would look over at it and wondered, " Could it be the video my father was talking about?"

A few hours later I am staring at the gift and finally decide to open it. Inside there was pink tissue paper with a small blue USB flash drive and a letter from my father, " I'm glad you are better my love. This USB flash drive contains the video we talked about. You can contact me at 703-001-8378." I slipped on a green dress and went to the gaming room. In the right corner was a row of computers, I sat in a chair in front of a computer and plugged in the USB flash drive and clicked on the video. The video started with Abigail sitting in a dim room tied to a chair waking up, her long red hair was a mess and her dress was tattered and torn. When she opened her eyes men started to surround her, she looked around her face full of terrier. In the video men were howling and hooting at her, whipping her, punching her, slapping her, and kicking her. Before the video ended, they threw her in a van and threw her over a bridge to let her drown. I don't think she deserved to die but I was very satisfied with the punishment that she got. I unplugged the USB and turned around to leave, Emily and Prince Max stood behind me smirking like they agreed with me. I stood up and Prince Max asked, " Who was that from?" I said nonchalantly, " My father." Emily and Prince Max looked at me in surprise. I shrugged and walked out of the room. As I walked back to my room Emily and Prince Max walked beside me asking a million questions about my dad and what happened to Abigail.
