Chapter 5

Getting out of the bathroom I am relieved to see I am alone and the door had been closed. I am tempted to get back in bed, just close my eyes and let sleep take me as I am still in pain and tired but decided that I needed to get “the fuck up out this bitch”.

I smile at my little joke but focus back on the task at hand, ninja sneaking out of this cult hospital and getting back to vanilla life. I like normal, I have no desire to live a life on the edge or some shit. I want the normal.

Waiting for the busying sounds to die down I see people greeting and leave, signaling the end of the work day. I open the door softly and go out closing the door behind me. I see the nurses station is empty and I look at the sign on the wall for anything pointing to an exit. I follow the direction on the wall map and opt for the stairs rather than the elevator.

I take the stairs slowly and am relieved to find them unused thus far. Well most would rather go for the elevator anyways. I hoped no one was going to check on me but I drew the curtain to cover the view to the bed just in case.

I am outside when I see that the town looked rather nice, everything neat, clean, modern and surrounded by nature. While looking around I spot three black SUV’s pull into the hospital curve, I duck behind some cars and slowly peer over the car to have a look. I see the buff club yet again getting out of the cars, followed by one that towered over the others.

I squint my eyes for a better look, is that the bear?! My eyes shot open as realization at the sight of him hit me, how is he walking? Holy shit this is a cult! Guy sacrificed something to Satan and is now brand new. I really needed to leave, I keep myself rooted waiting for all of the men to step inside.

“Shit, can even smell her outside.” One of the men said as they moved to the front door. I get up and start to slowly make my way to the nearest forest area hoping to avoid as many people as possible.

Suddenly a murderous growl comes from the hospital and my body starts to tremble. I know possession when I hear it and I am not staying for the levitation show.

I turn and start hoppity running as fast as my legs can carry me to the forest. I hear the breaking of glass and shudder with fear and worry as more growling and roaring can be heard from the hospital behind me.

After running in the woods for maybe a full three minutes I hear the loud thud of feet hitting the floor. Just as I turn to look on the terrifying sound behind me I slam into a wall, my ass hitting the earth hard and I curse under my breath.

I look up to see the bear, somehow he looked, even more intimidating awake and standing at a ridiculous height. His stance looked tensed and I was unsure of what was to come. He was by far the largest of the men, his skin tanned with large tribal tattoos covering his entire right arm.

His muscles were shaped to perfection, he had midnight black hair that I knew felt silky.

I had never found big and muscular men to be appealing but he was something else. Very serious-looking features with a strong jaw. He smelled amazing like cologne and something spicy that I couldn’t place yet.

I push to stand as he grabs my feet out from under me and  I am cradled in the arms of now Satan bear. My eyes bulged from my head and my heart is thundering in my chest. I gasp as I take in his almost black eyes. ‘Demonic embrace’ I think.

“No! Let me go, don’t touch me!” I squirm in his arms. He had a scowl on his face, he looked furious. He looked me over before turning to walk back in the direction of the hospital. I am busy trying to push his hand off my stomach when I notice we are passing the other men from the SUV, among them was Alec, snickering while looking at me and the Satanic bear.

“Keep still” a deep voice came from Satan bear and I felt butterflies in my stomach, who has a voice that crisp and muscular? I stilled a minute and then notice we are in the hospital and heading for the elevator, I squirm again not wanting to enter the narrow space. Satan bear goes to stand in the middle, while two others enter, one being Alec.

My chest heaves, breathing heavily, overwhelmed with desperation to get out of the confined space, watching the doors close on me. The moment the doors close  I feel heat rush through my veins. I am panting with dark spots soon covering my vision, tears are running down my face.

My hand reaches for my face attempting to clear my eyes, while the other clutched my chest, fueled with the need for oxygen.  

The men in the elevator turn to me, bear tenses loosening his hold on me. “Shit!” one said panicked. Why is he panicking? I am the one on the verge of passing out. “ Is she claustrophobic?” I heard the slamming of buttons before darkness consumes me yet again.
