Chapter 24 - THE END.

A chill of wind hits my bare skin as I feel the cage open wide, I don't want this any more, i don't want pain anymore. I can hear the shuffle of someone feet stand beside me.

Squinting my eyes, warm tears flush down. "Please Jade, just finish me up, I'm tired" My throat cracks causing me to cough. I am so done, I beg her! my body starts to shiver in fear, not ready to take any more abuse, it is tired, I am tired.

"Roe" A deep voice echoes.

My glossy eyes widen, and my heart drops a mile below.

Did I just hear, who I think I just heard? My body starts to shake, and I tremblingly turn my body towards the cage.

Vincent!

Oh my god

VINCENT

I start to pant heavily, laughing and smiling inside whilst aching in pain. He steps in, and I let his warmth familiar body engulf me.

"Vi - Vi" I cough painfully, as pain strikes down my chest I grip onto him tightly.

he whispers softly, "Shhh, I am here, You're safe" caressing my scarred body and protecting me in his huge arms. He quickly carries me in his arms, and we head out.

I can't believe he is here my love.

My eyes start to close slowly and slowly, my head against is chest, his beating heart a rhythm to me. All I can feel is my body go numb.

My ears pick up a sound.

A muffle of voices evokes around me, more of a discussion.

beep beep beep

What is that noise?

I try to open my eyes but it remains shut. Who are these people, what are they saying, I can't see anything - I - my body jerks up and I fall numb again.

Everything falls quite, I can feel a warm bed underneath me, blankets over me, I can hear muffles of talks around me. I dryly peel my eyes open, a blur of light causes my head to sting, even more, squinting I groan and blink my eyes even more.

Ugh.

My eyes finally open clearly and I am met with a couple of people all around me, wearing masks and a blue gown.

"Hello Rosella, I am dr. Samantha, there were some complications in your surgery, you had quite some broken ribs and a lot of scars, we are giving you antibiotics, and painkillers so you don't feel the removal of some of the ribcage, we have stitched some of your cuts but you will have to be here over the Christmas weekend"

Im in a hospital?

Christmas?!

So - I escaped..., wait where is everyone

I try to speak, but realize there is a tube in my mouth.

"We will be taking this out now" Another Dr says.

I nod my head painfully, I urk inside as the tube come out of my throat causing me to cough.

"h-how long?" I squirm

"You were in a coma for a month dear" Dr. Samantha squeezes my arms. "shall, we call your family"

I nod my head.
