Poisoned Blood

<15>

I shouldn't of done what i tried to do. I mean, there might be a cure, right? Sometime? I just have to have hope, but its pretty hard to have hope when I have been stuck here this long, no news if there is a cure and Doctor Jonson torturing me like this. Doctor Jonson said what he will do to me next time will be more bad than everything else he's done. What's his plan. To kill me? To torture me till I'm close to death but leave me alive? I don't know, but I'd rather not know. I clear my mind of those thoughts. I feel sorry for Claire, I almost killed myself, and let her be stuck with Doctor Jonson, he'd probably kill her after I'm gone. I better stay. For Claire's sake, for my father's sake. He'd be heartbroken if I were dead. Claire and I will make it through this. I hope. I wonder what time it is. I check my phone for the time. Its evening. Evening is normally when Doctor Jonson comes. Crap. I hope he just leaves me alone. I don't want to get hurt anymore.
  I rest. Claire leaves the room to go get dinner. I flip through the pages of my sketchbook. The lights are a little dim, but that's the way I like it. You can still see, and its not that bright. Claire comes back with dinner. She hands mine to me and sits down in the chair next to me like always. Mac and cheese. They make that all the time. It's not even made well. I take a bite. Not bad I guess. But its not very cheesy.
"Claire, I'm sorry" I say quietly.
"About what?" She asks.
"For what happened earlier. I shouldn't of tried that. It wouldn't help anyone. I'm just a coward, looking for a way out" I say, feeling bad.
"Look sweetie, its okay. But I think you should just hold on a little while longer, I know its hard. Have hope. You're strong. I believe in you. Just wait, things will get better, we'll find the cure and get out of here" she said.  Shes right. I am strong, things could get better, but I wonder how long it'll take. A long time.
"I'm taking my life for granted... You keep saving my life, I haven't done anything for you..." My voice trails off.
"You have done things for me" She responds.
"Like what?" I ask
"Given me someone to love. I'm not in a relationship, I don't have kids. Most of my family live far away. I love you like your my own daughter" She confesses. "I know we haven't known each other for that long, but you're so sweet, you are nice company and you're such a good person Carnee" she said.
"I really like you too Claire... I.. I almost see you as my mom. I never met my mom, but you are so sweet to me, taking care of me, looking after me. I love you too" I say. She gives me a hug.
"Will you please have some hope?" She asks. I nod. I finish my supper, even though I don't like it much. She takes my plate and goes into the hall. A few minutes later she comes back with a package of cookies. She gave me three and takes one for herself. She sits down. I bite into a cookie. They're okay, but not as yummy as home-made. I would kill for meals that dad makes. My dad it a great cook. I still miss him. I wonder how he's doing. I really want to see him, but obviously I can't. I just want to go home and have my life back. I miss dad, I miss my grandparents. I miss my dog. I miss my friends, I just want to see them all. Doctor Jonson would never allow more visitors, if he did, he'd hurt them. That's just the cold-hearted man he is. He deserves to be dead. This hospital is evil. I need to get out of here. But who knows when that will be. I could be stuck here forever. I just want to get out of here and be at home again. I look at Claire, she's just sitting there, not really doing anything, just looking down at the floor. Its late, I fall asleep.
  In the morning, its quiet, the lights are off so its hard to see. I wish I could see daylight. They covered the window in my room. I don't like that. Whatever. I woke up before Claire. I played apps on my phone. Crossy road and game of life. I was just trying to pass the time. There's not much I can do when I'm stuck here. The day was quiet and boring. Everything was okay, till that evening. Doctor Jonson walked in. Oh no... What is he going to do to me? I'm scared! He walked up next to me and Claire. He pushes her into her seat and straps her in by her wrists and ankles.
"No!!! Leave her alone!" I yell. I get up and jump at him. He grabs both my arms and throws me down onto my bed, holding both my arms down. I was stuck, I couldn't move except kick my feet and scream.
"Stop! Don't lay a finger on her!" Claire yells. He sneers. He puts straps around my ankles and wrists and straps me to my bed.
"No! Stop, please!" I yell. Tears were streaming down my eyes. "I'm begging you, leave me alone!" I plead.
"You have been bad, you're a bad girl, not listening to me and trying to escape. Your father tried to kill me, now I hurt you in payback" He said. He holds up a needle, with an evil smile on his face. "This needle, can do something horrible to a person" She snickers. I start freaking out, trying to get free from the straps. I pull hard at the straps, desperately trying to get free. Claire tries to get out of the straps that is trapping her too.
"When I inject this into your veins, it will make you veins hurt, every time your hearts pumps, it will make this substance get pumped through your veins and hurt you with every heartbeat. It will be searing pain till you get a special medicine, that only I have" He says, laughing like a madman. He puts the needle into my thigh, and injects the stuff.
"AAAAAAAH!" I scream, every two seconds, my veins spike with pain. My whole body suffers. Doctor Jonson just stands there and laughs.  I'm struggling and flinching with pain, trying to get out of the straps.
"Give her the antidote! Now!" Claire screams. He just laughs. I scream, this is too much, this pain is too intense.
"Please! Make it stop!!" I scream. My veins sting and hurt and it won't stop. My veins carried the poison throughout my body and it hurts everywhere. Doctor Jonson just watches me as I scream and cry. He seems to find it pleasant that I'm suffering. He lets me scream and cry in pain for ten minutes, he then unties one strap from Claire's wrist and puts the medicine to stop the pin on the end table next to her, then runs out of the room. Claire unties the rest of the straps and puts the needle into my arm. A couple minutes later the pain started to relieve. And she unties the straps on my wrists and ankles. I lay there breathing heavily, trying to relax and let the pain disappear and let my heart slow down a little bit. That was torture, the doctor meant what he said, my punishment was worse than everything else he did to me so far. What a cold, cruel man. And no one can stop him. He's too strong, too evil, too... Unstoppable.
