Chapter 3: NIGHTMARE

Beep beep, Beep beep

God what is that sound.

Beep beep beep beep

Make it stop please.

I try to open my eyes but I couldn't bring myself to open them.

Moving was not an option either, I couldn't move it was as though my body was paralyzed I couldn't feel anything.

"Yes...suggest... Critical." I heard voices, but I only heard bits and pieces of the conversation.

Everything was dark everywhere, I did not know where I was, God what is happening, where am I?

I try looking around but it was just darkness, I started panicking suddenly that beeping started becoming worse. It got louder and louder and each second I felt myself becoming weaker, that's when the voices I was hearing started becoming faint then finally I felt myself slipping off.

************* 

 Beep beep beep beep                                                       

"M..mhh make it st-stop'' my throat felt like it was on fire.                                                     

''w-water'' i say to no one in particular.

I tried to open my eyes but everything was blurry, after many attempts I was finally able to see my surroundings.

That's when I saw a woman who was holding a plastic cup in her hand. She was rather tall, and God her body was just a work of art, it was a body most women envied.

When I got a good look at her face I was in awe. She was a beautiful woman, her hair was brunette with golden locks, her eyes were so mesmerizing, they were green and when I looked closer I saw there were patches of purple in there. 

''Here you go.'' I felt shivers down my spine, her voice was so soft and soothing. She then extended her hand towards me. 

'' It's just water.'' she says, I reach out to take the cup but my hand wouldn't stop shaking. 

''Let me." she made her way towards me and put the cup on my lips. 

The moment the water went down my throat it felt as though I was putting out a fire in my throat. I will never make water for granted ever again. 

"Th-thank you." 

The moment she turned around, I looked around that's when I put two and two together and realized I was in a hospital. 

"W-why am I in a hospital?" she then made her way towards me again she then took a sit right besides my bed. 

She had a sour look on her face. 

"Don't you remember?" 

"Remember wh-" suddenly everything came back to me, the crash...Father. 

"Where's my father?"

" I'm - "

" The dog." I mumble to myself. 

" what dog?" I lift my head up to meet her eyes and she had her rather worried expression on her face. 

She heard me? 

"What dog Andrea?" 

"Andrea?" she asks a little louder causing me to flinch a little. 

"I-um."I clear my throat. 

" The was a huge black dog and I think it was the one which caused us to crash, it also.... "I drift off thinking about what it did to my father. 

" I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. " I wipe the tears off my cheek and shake my head. 

" No it's okay, the dog killed my father. "

" Are you sure? "

" W*-what do you mean am I sure I saw it with my own two eyes I know it sounds crazy trust me I wouldn't believe me too but I know what I saw"

That's when I heard a knock and a man wearing a suit came in. 

"Good day miss Misticc, I'm detective Rowland." he says as he makes his way towards me. 

If he is the detective then who is... When I look around she is nowhere in sight. 

"w-where did the woman go?" I say looking around the room but it was like she vanished into thin air. 

"Which woman?" he asks clearly confused. 

"There was a woman in here right before you came in bu-but she's..." 

"when I got in here it was just you Ms Misticc." 

"B-b I-how can I help you detective?" I change the subject. 

"Well I would appreciate it if you told me what happened that night." 

I sighed, It all started when...

"And that's the last thing thing I saw before I blacked out." he then looked at me like I had grown two heads. 

"So let me get this straight, you were attacked by a dog? A huge dog?" 

" I know that this story seems far fetched-" 

"I'll say." he interrupts

"But, but that's what happened detective." he just took off his specs and rubbed both of his eyes with his thumb and index finger. 

"Andrea, in order for me to help you, you need to tell me what really happened." 

"I am!" I yell but it was a big mistake, because my ribs hurt the moment I did that. I end up groaning. 

"I'm not here to cause you distress but I need to know what really happened to you." 

"I already told you what happened." that's when I realized no matter what said he was not going to believe me. 

"If you don't have anything more to say you can see yourself out detective." I say while crossing my arms. 

He sighs then searches for something in his suit jacket. 

"If you have more information don't hesitate to contact me." he hands me his card. I made no move to take it, he then put it on the table right across my bed. 

He then started leaving just as he was turning the nob I remembered something. 

"Where is my father's body?" 

"I'm sorry but there was no body on the scene." 

"what do you mean there was no body?" 

"Exactly what I said there was no body it was just you and a broken motorcycle." 

"Are you sure you weren't just in an accident? I mean you had just graduated, maybe you went a little overboard with your alcohol and maybe-" 

"I'm going to stop you right there, I did not drink that night nor do I drink alcohol period, and I know what I saw that night." 

"But-" 

"Just stop! I saw that thing when it killed my father, I saw everything detective Rowland and no it was not an accident he was killed right before my eyes!"

I suddenly started feeling dizzy, that's when that beeping sound started again then everything went black. 

"Mh-m" 

"Look who's finally awake." when I opened my eyes I see a woman who was smiling at me. 

"What happened?" 

"You just had a panic attack, I don't know how that man came in here but we dealt with him so we apologize for any convinence he cost." 

" O-okay." 

"Now why don't you get some rest and I'll be back to check up on you." I just nod. 

My thoughts went back to that woman who was in here earlier, how did she know my name and how did no one see her. 

I find myself holding the pendant I took from my father's neck, I will find out what really happened that night even if it's the last thing I do.
