Peculiar and Complicated Love

Episode #4: Unimaginable Torture

Slowly I regain consciousness and I have a brief moment of feeling safe, but then I remembered what happened. Now awake I notice I am alone in a different room than before. I have a sick feeling I have been transferred to the research facility the doctor mentioned.

I didn't waste energy wondering anymore so I tried to get up, but I only realized till now that I am securely strapped to the bed with my hands covered in handcuffs, which is connected to the hospital bed railing.

It's no use now because even if I am able to wiggle out of the straps I still need the key to unlock these handcuffs. I also stopped trying because I am still drowsy from the injection I received so I went back to sleep again.

When I awoke it seems that I am home, which filled me with joy and even more so after seeing my mom. I immediately rush to give her a hug, which I desperately needed. However something didn't seem right about her especially when she said, "Why are you here Zoey? You should be in the hospital because you are very sick". I was shocked so in return I said, "I don't understand. I have been at the hospital for a few days. Are you not happy and relieved now that I am home?"

My vision was blurry from my tears, but in a flash standing before me was a warped and twisted version of my mom. Her eyes purely black as if soulless, she was wearing all black and lastly her teeth are all yellow and brown. "Oh, stupid and naive Zoey. It's because you are not my daughter".

After she said that it felt like she crushed my spirit. "Why are you saying such horrible things to me? I am still your daughter". She then laughed mockingly by saying, "You are dead to me, Zoey. You are a monster. Don't you see It? Or are you just denying it?" Once she said that she grabbed my hand very hard and it really hurt. "Please mom, stop. It hurts".

Then black ooze started dripping out of her mouth and a drop of the substance fell. I saw as if in slow motion the drop of black ooze fall towards my arm, which made me look down at my hand.

I let out a shriek of terror from seeing my hand covered in dark fur all matted with dirt and blood along with nasty looking claws chipped or missing. "Now you see the monster you have become. And now I am going to put you out of your misery".

She let go of my hand, which made me unbalanced and thus falling back on my buttocks in the sludge like mud. Before I could get up my terror of a mother was bringing a huge hatchet to pierce my head, which I tried to cover it with my hand. It was too late as the weapon came down puncturing straight into my eye.

Abruptly I sit up as much as I could in the hospital like bed with the straps on my body. All the while I am screaming bloody murder loudly like a banshee. Right away nurses came through the door, which made a loud clang on the wall. I want to get out of here was what I thought, but on the outside I am still screaming.

They are trying to get a hold of me, but I was so out of it I bite down hard on the male nurse's hand drawing blood. He grunted and with the help of the others they pried my teeth off his hand. Then one of the female nurses came forth with a needle containing a green fluid so before she could inject it I sprayed the blood in my mouth all over her face.

Next, she dropped the needle to the floor that causes it to crack and release its contents. Then before I could react another nurse put a metal head band on me and within a few seconds I feel an extreme pain course through my head first. It feels like it's going to explode and then the pain pulsed throughout my body. The environmental stimulation was too much for me to overcome, so in response I blacked out.
