Poisoned Blood

<7>

Whatever is in my veins... Seems to be destroying me. Making me vulnerable. Anything can kill me now... Its killing me. Getting worse and breaking me down little by little. Who knows how long I will live. This poison could activate and kill me right now.
Nurse Claire comes in, and finds me curled up in the corner of my room. Shaking and crying. I'm going nuts. She just sits down next to me and holds me.
"shhhhh... Shhhhh" She kept saying quietly rubbing my shoulders. I get up. Shes still hugging me.
"Why?" I whisper.
"Shhhhhhhhh....." Shes tried to comfort me.
I lay down on my bed. She lays next to me.
"Darling. I'm sorry... I love you" She said.
"I-I love you too" I said. She's being so motherly.... I kind of like it.
I sit up. Nurse Claire stays next to me.
"Doctor Jonson will be here later. I won't let him hurt you. Promise." She said.
"Have you drawn lately?" She asked.
"Only one drawing" I said.
"May I see it?" She asked.
"I'd rather not." I said.
"Okay" She stands up. "I'll be back. Use the caller button if you need me" She said and left. Of coarse locking the door. I don't like the feeling of being locked in. I've been here for days. I want to go home. I pick up my cell phone and try to call dad, still doesn't work. I try to text him. Still doesn't work. He's probably really worrying about me, and I can't contact him. I sigh and decide to draw. I draw me and my dad at the fair... Right before I was poisoned. I drew us in front of the freak out. I start to cry again. My eyes are hurting and going bloodshot from crying so much. But the picture made me sad, and miss dad. A tear drops right over dad. Oh how I miss him. I flip the page. I draw Claire... Claire holding me. Her comforting me with the tears down my blue eyes. She had a soft smile on her face, my eyes looking at her, tearing, my face with a slight smile, noticeably forced smile, but meaningful. I'm starting to get a strong bond and like for Claire, shes been wonderful to me. But there are times when I want to punch her out. I draw Princess, my dog. I'm in the middle of drawing another drawing of Claire, (the drawing that is pasted to this page) with her warm smile and long blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, Nurse Claire walks in.
"Hey, what'cha drawing?" She asked. I  showed her the picture of her holding me, the picture of Princess, and the portrait of her, and finally, the drawing of me and dad. She smiled. One tear drops out of her eye.
"Carnee.... " she says quietly. I can tell she feels bad for me. "Would you like me to call your dad, ask him to come see you?" She asked.
"Of course!" I whisper. "Claire... Can I ask you another favor?"
"What is it?" She asked.
"Let Princess come into my hospital room." I say.
"I don't think I can do that, beautiful" she said.
"Try?" I ask.
"I guess I can try, but don't be expecting her" She said and leaves the room. I hope shes going to go call dad. I lay there watching t.v. Later the door opens. Dad walks in with, Princess!! I run over to them, I give dad a huge hug, petting Princess's head at the same time.
"Claire, can dad and I have a minute alone?" I ask.
"..... Fine" She said and goes into the hallway closing the door behind her.
"Dad, I'm scared. This is killing me. Look," I show him the bruise on my are and the scars from the needles.
"Oh my god." He said. I move the gauze from my wrist. A big, sore scar is still there.
"What have they done to you?" He asked.
"The doctor is torturing me. Nurse Claire is trying to stop him, but he doesn't let her stop him and he hurts me" I said.
"My poor babygirl, I can't believe this is happening to you" he said, pulling me close and hugging me tight but gentle.
"I'm scared, they might hurt me again..." I whispered.
"That's unacceptable" he said. Hes getting angry. He would never let anyone hurt me.
"I keep trying to call and text you, but my phone keeps saying out of service. And the internet on it won't work, so I can't even message you on facebook..." I say quietly.
"They won't let you get in contact with me?" He asked with wide eyes.
"No, my phone doesn't work and they won't let me call you or anything." I responded. Dad's angry.
"Stay here. Watch Princess. I'm going to talk to nurse Claire" He said. He stood up and stormed out of the room.
He walks through the halls and finds nurse Claire.
"Claire! Why won't you let me get in contact with Carnee?!" He asks, angered.
She grabs his arm and pulls him in another room so no one can hear their conversation.
"It's not my fault! It's not me!" She said innocently. "I don't have any power or control over anything."
"What do you mean its not your fault?" My dad asked.
"The doctor... Doctor Jonson. Hes in charge. He deactivated her cellphone. I didn't do anything to her. I want to let her use it but the doctor wont let me call you or let you come see her. I convinced him this time, but he wont let me again. I'm trying my best to make your daughter comfortable, I'm giving her what she wants and getting her what she needs. I promise you!" She said.
"Why?! Why won't he let me talk to her. I saw those bruises and scars, is he abusing her?" He asked.
"Yes... He is. And I can't stop him. I try, but i can't! I have grown to love your daughter, she is a very sweet girl, I'm sorry that this is happening to her. She's been crying all the time. She's scared and she's been missing you. I almost feel like crying for her, but I keep strong. Really Mr Campbell. I only mean well!" She says.
"Where's this so-called doctor Jonson?" He asked.
"He refuses to see anyone. I don't know how long it'll take him to cure her, hes still researching the problem, if he even is... Because I honestly don't know. I can't stop him from anything, he's hurting her and there nothing I can do.  I'm trying to help your daughter!" She said, her voice starts to tremble. She starts crying.
"How long will she be here? Why isn't there a cure yet? Who did this to her in the first place?!" He yelled in her face.
"I don't know! I'm trying to help! I'm innocent!" She tries to say.
"How?!" he said, trying to get some answers out of her.
"Because I was..... Poisoned with the same lethal poison too" She said quietly.
He doesn't say anything after she said that, he's speechless.
They come back to my room. I look up. Princess looks over. Dad and Claire come and hug me tight.
Someone walks in...it's Doctor Jonson.
"Mr Campbell, its time to leave" Doctor Jonson.
"NO!" he yelled.
"YES!" Doctor Jonson yelled back.
"Stop abusing my daughter!" He yelled.
"Security!" Doctor Jonson called out.
"No!" He yells. Holding on to me.
Three big men walk in. Two grab my dads arms, pulling him towards the door, the other guy grabs my dog's leash and pulls her away.
"Noooooo!!! Leave them alone!" I scream and run to them. Doctor Jonson grabs me by the arm, and injects me with something. I become paralyzed and fall to the ground, watching, watching the men take my father away into the halls. I lay helplessly on the floor, still watching through the door. Doctor Jonson picks me up and literally throws me onto the bed.
"Get out Nurse Claire" He said.
"No" She refused.
"GET OUT!" He yells and pushes her through the door and closes it. He starts cutting me, Injecting unknown substances into my veins with needles, hurting and stinging my skin. I'm paralyzed, but I can still feel the pain. The pain of his torture. And there's nothing I can do to stop him. He continues to cut me, punch me, causing those big black bruises to form on my skin. There's nothing I can do. I'm his little toy that he can abuse and experiment on.
