Charlotte Pov
"she's waking up, quickly call the nurse" I heard a distant voice above my head and my gaze settled on Natalie enlarged face at my view, frowning slightly.
"what happened" I spoke hoarsely, my throat dry. I felt uncomfortable.
I watched a nurse walk in towards me giving me a brief checkup before turning to Natalie and Cyrus "she is fine. she only passed out due to stress and lack of sleep" she explained "she should rest for few days before discharge" she gave a curt nod and left
Cyrus assisted me in sitting up while Natalie handed a glass of warm water which a drank to moisturize my throat.
They both had their eyes on my once I put down the cup.
"when did I pass out?"
" you passed out when we left that house" Natalie replied with a frown directed at me. "any explanation on the nurses diagnosis?"
"none" I shook my head dismissing the topic.
The door to the ward pushed open and two familiar figures I despised the most walked in
"sister" Marilyn, my stepsister choked up as she walked to my bedside, Natasha my step mother following behind. "what happened to you?"
I frowned, not bothering to hide my disgust for her "you are not welcomed here, you can leave" I dismissed not wanting to see their hypocritical faces in my line of sight
"Charlotte dear, your sister was just worried about you" Natasha spoke.
"please leave" was all I said turning my gaze away.
"sister, pls be okay " Marilyn said
"don't worry, I won't die anytime soon"
There was a knock on the door before a nurse poked her head in.
"visiting time is over, the patient needs to rest" she announced.
"then we'll leave first" Natasha spoke, pulling Marilyn with herself out of the door
"we'll leave and visit in the evening" Cyrus spoke stroking my head gently
"be good and rest well" Natalie spoke before walking out, Cyrus following behind.
It soon became dark and the light was turned off leaving me in the darkness. The memories of the past seems to take root in my brain, starting to torment me.
Those pair of red eyes glowing in the dark and I couldn't help trembling in fear
"who are you?" I asked, my lips quivering "what do you want with me?"
Suddenly I heard a dark chuckle and I stilled in fear.
