The search for paradise

The search for paradise

He leant in further, his minty breath fresh. "This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to steal you." My heart fluttered. Why didn't I hate him? This fairy-tale had gone all wrong...

Chapter 14

I am lying on a soft mattress, staring up at the ceiling. A blurry figure appears next to me. "Bella? Bella?"  I slowly prop myself up, realizing I am in a hospital. I see my dad.
"Bella."
"How long have I been-"
"It was on Monday that you were hit. It's now Thursday. That bullet hit you hard, thank god you're still alive."
I started remembering. I had tricked Scade into thinking that I was meant to be in the warehouse he should have been in. He would be dead if I hadn't. I winced as a felt the searing pain shoot through my arm as I tried to move it.
"Your kidnapper escaped, at least it wasn't with you," my dad continued, unaware of my present pain. A nurse appeared next to me.
"Mr Greengrass, if you could please leave whilst I attend to your daughter."
"Of course," my dad said, almost willing. His gaze explored up and down the nurse, smiling in approval. He closed the door slowly, slightly reopening it for a last look.
"Sorry about him," I muttered as the nurse scowled after him. "Has he been like that the whole time?"
"Pretty much," she smiled. "Now I'm just going to jab you with a medicine that will protect you from a nasty germ, okay?" She was talking to me like I was six, but I nodded anyway. As the needle plunged into the arm, I felt myself slipping again, the same feeling as when I had just been shot. No pain, just sleepiness. And my eyes closed again.
