Hanged to death
Hospital
Around midnight.
Clara screamed and jolted up, startling Ben who had just fallen asleep.
"Babe,what happened? Are you fine? Should I call the doctor?" He panicked.
Turning towards him, she started touching his face and arms. "Are you fine? You—"
"Calm down, I am alright. See, I am not hurt anywhere."
Pouncing onto his embrace, she started crying out of loud while hugging him tightly. She was scared, scared that if she loosens her embrace, he would disappear or go away.
Kissing the top of her head, he gently caressed her back to calm her down. "It's okay, I am right here."
"I am sorry Ben, I am so sorry."
"Sshhh it's alright, take some rest for now okay? We will talk about this tomorrow."
"But—"
Cutting her off, Ben said, "Don't think about anything now, you are with me now and I promise that no one will harm you."
