The dark sky with the moon hidden behind the night clouds could signal some crime going on. The roads of Ville were empty as Amelthia, a young girl about 22 years, ran bare feet for the sake of her life. Fear was evident in her eyes, her body cold from the wind, her feet covered with blood, breathing heavily and erotic, she was helpless.
As Amelthia ran she would continuously look back to see if she was far enough or not.
As she kept looking back, she stumbled over a stone falling on her knees and hurting them.
"Ahhh"
Tears rolled down her cheeks because of the pain and fear rising in her. She still gathered her strength to get up and find someplace to hide but as soon as she got up the dizziness hit her and she ended up hitting the ground losing consciousness. Her almost lifeless body lay there with no help around. Not a single being around to help her.
Nothing could be heard except the crickets making sounds and the police mobile patrolling around.
The sound of the siren getting louder as the mobile came closer to the road. But as the headlight of the car pointed to the girl lying on the ground in a terrible state the mobile came to a halt.
SCREECHHHH
The officers hurried out of the car and gasped at the view in front of them. Mr. Oliver quickly grabbed his walkie-talkie to inform the officers on the other end to prepare help.
" Officer Oliver reporting.... a young girl in her early 20s has been found unconscious on the road. She needs medical help ....Over!!"
The officers carried the young girl inside their car as they laid her in the back of their mobile.
There was only one police car driving on the wide dark road with a blue-red light beaming around and the voice of a siren echoing.
The officers drove her to the hospital halting at the balcony. The nurses came running with the stretcher towards the police car. The siren already made it sound like a deadly emergency. The nurses laid Amelthia on the stretcher as they wheeled her inside the emergency ward and the door closes.

The doctors came out to get information from the officers and also inform them about her current condition.
" Officer! What happened to that young girl?"
The Doc asked in a tone of emergency and concern in his eyes.
"Oh, Doc... we don't know what happened but we found her unconscious on the road like that. Is she awake? when can we record her statement of what happened?"
The officers asked wanting to help the girl.
Doc's priority was the young girl in the room. He felt her fear and frightened self.
"It's better to come later she needs to rest she is still sleeping"
On the doctor's statement, the officer left on the account to come back later.
Seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours and Amelthia was still asleep, to be sure unconscious. The nurse kept on checking on her as it has been 2 hours already and she was still in deep slumber.
Another hour passed as Amelthia slowly gained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes trying to take in her surrounding, her mind and thoughts everywhere.
Amelthia blinks her eyes for a good second and moves her eyes around the room as her eyes take in the white ceiling and walls and the 2 chairs set around with a table and a flower vase in the center of the table, moving on the other side she sees machines and around and then she notices the IV attached to her hand, she thought
"Where am I?"
As the thought crossed her mind the flashbacks from earlier started to cross her head as scenes of a movie. And when the reality hit her she jolted up looking around as her breathing again catches speed and she breathed heavily. She moves out of her sheets and pulls out the IV attached to her hand as she hisses in sudden pain.
She lowered her head to see her feet's bandaged as she tries to stand up. The IV seemed to her as handcuffs and those bandages as chains to lock her in a place so she can't run away. She screamed as the thought of being trapped indulged her mind.
"ARGHHHHHHHH"
And sudden voices start to play in her head making her tears fall off her eyes on her cheeks. Her legs lose balance as she falls to her knees.
The nurses came running inside and gasp at the state of Amelthia in front of their eyes. One of the nurses walks closer to her and Amelthia crawls back and curls up in a ball hiding her face in her knees and her hands securing her ears.
"NOO!!! LET ME G-GO"
She stuttered in fear.
The nurse scoots next to her sitting in front of her trying to soothe her.
" Mam no one is taking you anywhere. "
On the soft voice, she looks up with teary eyes, a red nose, and cheeks wet with tears.
Amelthia questioned with fear in her eyes
"Wh-o are yo-u?"
" I am Emma, one of the nurses here."
She tells her in a soft voice with a warm smile plastered on her face so she would not scare Amelthia more.
"Nur-se??!"
She asked tilting her head in confusion.
"You are in the hospital. What is your name??"
The nurse asked.
The word hospital made her curiosity grow more
*Why am I in a hospital??*
Amelthia still feared them. She didn't know why in the world she was there. She was scared to even ask but still, she mustered up her courage and asked.
" Ame-Amelthia. Why am I her-e??"
Upon hearing her reply the nurse felt a little relief that she might not feel hesitant to share what happened.
"Amelthia is a really nice name. Now would you like to sit up on the bed so we can talk hmm??"
Amelthia agreed to her but the thought, that maybe she is still not safe and maybe in more danger, still lingered in her head.
She gathered her strength and walked to the bed sitting there softly.
The nurse injected IV again in her hand as Amelthia lay down on the bed. The other nurse leaves the room to call the doctor as Emma tries to calm Amelthia down.
With her growing curiosity in her, she kept asking the nurse for the reason why is she in the hospital,
"Why am i h-ere??"
"Wh-o broug-ht me her-e??"
The nurse just smiled at her and tried to explain to her but not scare her more.
"You fainted on the road and the police officers found you."
The word 'police' made her fear grow more
*What if they kn-ow wha-t happene-d??!!*
*N-no*
*Th-ey cant know ab-out me or wh-at happen-ed...*.
The next day the doctors informed the officers about Amelthia's consciousness so they could record her statement.The nurse came into Amelthia's room to check on her and inform her about the officers coming."Good morning Amelthia! I am going to change your IV to a new one. The officers are going to be here in a little while to record your statement ok??"Amelthia snapped her head at Emma."What statement??""They want to know why were you there on the road in such a terrible condition. Maybe they would be able to help you."Emma answered her question after looking at her confused expression."No!" Amelthia jolted up and disagreed with the thought.The nurse got worried as to why she is disagreeing with help,"Huh?? But why?? Don't you want the police to help you??""uh..uh..because..."Amelthia stuttered as she tried to look for an excuse.Emma looked at her keenly but just then the doc came in."Hey, Amelthia! How are you feeling today??"The doc asked her passing a smile and in a s
Amelthia sat on the pathway thinking about the man earlier.Who was he?>>>>>FLASHBACK>>>>>FLASHBACK END>>>>>FLASHBACK
At night the city side where Amelthia's house was located would go into deep silence. Only owls and crickets could be heard on the dark side with no street lamps. At 12 the police would patrol around the area and leave without finding anything useful.And due to the forest on the other side, the number of crimes increased around that area. People's houses would be robbed and police would not be able to find the thieves. They assumed that the thieves hide in the forest.That night when Amelthia found a safe place, someone was looking for her.That person was a dreadful nightmare for Amelthia.??: "Find her!! Dead or alive find her!!"Man 1: "Yes sir."Man 2: "But sir for that we would have to go into the crowded city."??: "Then go, disguise but bring her to me! Or else pray for your lives then!"Man 1 & 2:" Y-yes sir."_______________________Amelthia was walking in the hallway of the hostel when a young lady around the same age as Amelthia walked to her in a pink and white attire, he
Felix walked ahead of Amelthia leading her to the chief's room. Felix knocked on the door as they stopped in front of Chief's room.KNOCK KNOCK"Come in!"They both entered the room as they got permission.Felix bowed and stood on the side and Amelthia came in view of the chief."Oh, Amelthia! Come sit."The chief gestured for her to sit. Amelthia walked with difficulty because of the bruises on her feet which she got from running bare feet on the road. She sat on the chair. Felix watched her walk slowly." So how are you feeling today?? And how was the hostel??"Chief asked with a serious yet soft voice." Um...I am feeling better and the hostel is really nice. I liked it. Thank you."Amelthia didn't want to look like a picky person so she just smiled back." That's good. You had your breakfast??"Chief asked in a soft voice." Actually.... I woke up late so I came directly here...."Amelthia replied looking down."It's alright. Felix takes her to the cafeteria for breakfast after th
The old man pushes the young boy in the cupboard.Man: "Don't come out!"The boy confused to what is happening but still he just nodded back. The door of the cupboard shut close as the footsteps of someone coming closer could be heard. The boy peaked from the cupboard and saw a tall person with black outfit and black boots. He rose his hand with black gloves holding on a gun. The boy panicked at the view in front of his eyes. The hood man pointing the gun at the boys father."Any last wish!!??"Old man: "Leave my family alone!! I will.do everything.""Too late man, too late."The hood man said with a raspy voice. The boy was about to leave the cupboard just then the sound of gunshot and a female scream was heard.I...it-s Mo-m."Oops! I guess it was your wife!"The old mans eyes widen on the scream as tears threatened to fall.The boy's tears fell drastically. As a whimper was about to leave his mouth he pressed his hands on his mouth to muffle it.The boy couldn't see his father's fa
Felix drove to the WPC building. Curious to know if it was even possible. He stopped outside the building and looked up at it and thought,Who is this girl and why do i wanna find out about her so bad??He went in and asked Mandy about Amelthia right away. Mandy pointed outside the staff room meaning she must be in her room. He quickly paced out and started walking up to Amelthia's room.He took a deep breath as he stood outside her room and knocked twice."Miss Amelthia, are you awake?? It's me Felix."Felix asked softly trying not to look frustrated.Amelthia had just woken up 5 min ago and was in the middle of changing her clothes."Ah yes I am up!!"She said trying to dress up quickly."Can I come in?"Felix asked grabbing the door handle and waiting for her permission."NO!! Just a sec!!"She quickly pulled her shirt down and opened the door.She looked up at his face,"Yes? What is it?"He looked down a little,"Can I come in?? I have some questions to ask....I hope you don't mi
The chief sat in his office when an officer rushed in with a package for chief marked with a 4-point star,a mark used when it was urgent and used only when someone extremely important was in danger.The chief looked at the package and he quickly gestured the officer to close the door and shut the blinds.Once the room was blocked from outside eyes, the officer sat down infront of the chief."Officer Jones, who delivered this??"Chief asked."Chief, a young boy left this on my desk and told me it was urgent. Along with this letter...It's got your name on it."He said handing chief the note."I tried asking him who it was from but he said you would know and ran off.... Before i could stop or catch him he exited the building."Chief took the note and immediately recognized the handwriting.Chief - a guy in his mid-40s, tough and harsh, rarely out of words - was stunned.....It had been so long since I heard from him.Wonder What's this about??!Chief dismissed the officer and warned him
The chief drove back to his office. Once he reached his workplace, he gathered some official papers to get them signed by the head so that they wouldn't have to go through trails and investigation.He emailed the head and told him about the situation and asked for a meet up.In the meantime, as he waited for a reply, he gathered some male and female clothes and got the papers for the ones that would provide Felix and Amelthia with food and anything they needed as long as they stayed there.Chief got a reply and a date and time for the meet up. He texted Felix and told him an address and time where he was to come and collect the clothes. And for the time being see if they had any food packages in the safe house._________________________As soon as Amelthia walked in the safe house, she rushed in a room and took a bath. She wore her clothes back and came out with a towel around her head.Felix did a perimeter search in the mean time, just to be sure no one had followed them or if anyon
