CHAPTER 7: COMING BACK FOR YOU.

　　Mr Richard and his wife rushed to the hospital as soon as they got the call.

　　“Excuse me, sir, how may I help you?” Asked the reception who noticed the worried look on their faces.

　　“ Sorry, Miss..”

　　“It’s nothing. Are you looking for someone?” She asked.

　　“ Yes, our daughter. She was brought here few minutes ago. “ He said.

　　“ What’s her name?” She asked, clicking on her keyboard. “Miss Sotomayor?” She asked almost immediately.

　　“Yes, that’s her name. “They said with a nod. “ Where can we find her?”

　　“Ward 300. It’s just by the left after the first elevator.” She explained.

　　“ Sorry to ask, do we have to enter the first elevator?” Mrs Sotomayor asked.

　　“ Yes. The second door at the second floor.” She clarified.

　　“Oh, thank you. “ She greeted.

　　“ Anytime. “

　　They speedily left to the elevator, clicking on the second floor button. Mrs Sotomayor impatiently tapped her leg, counting the seconds at which they’d get to the second floor.

　　“She’s gonna be alright.” He assured her.

　　“I know. I trust my daughter.” She said.

　　But it was clearly on her face that she was more than concern for her daughter’s health.

　　“She’s gonna be fine right?” She repeated.

　　“Of course, she will. And the doctors who work here are really qualified at their job. I trust what they can do. “

　　“ Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. “ She took a deep sigh.

　　The elevator beeped and the door opened. She rushed to the second room, she looked through the middle mirror then at her husband.

　　“Are we to enter?” She asked him.

　　“Yes, I think so. “ He pushed the door open, quietly they walked in.

　　She touched her hand, but they weren’t responding. Her eyes were closed, only her chest rose and fell to the air she breathed.

　　Her face covered with bandages only her nose was left open for the oxygen to work well.

　　“Sonia.” She wept. “Oh my Sonia, what did you do to yourself?”

　　“Come on, babe, she’s unconscious she can’t hear you. “ He reminded.

　　“ I know but… why would she want to kill herself? Why would she want to end her life so soon? Do you think she might be owing money to people or something because I don’t understand why some one like her would like to end her life so soon?” She said bitterly.

　　“ Why would you think she is a debtor after everything she owns? I doubt that.” He doubted.

　　“ How am I supposed to know that.” She sat on the chair beside her bed. “ I’ll spend the night with her while you head back home. Some one needs to take care of the business. “

　　He nods in agreement. “ Do you mind for something to eat?”

　　“ I’m not hungry. I can’t eat with my daughter in this condition. “

　　“ I’ll buy something while heading back home.” He stayed for an hour with them before he left back home.

　　Mrs Sotomayor spent almost the night weeping for Sonia’s sake even after her husband had persuaded her not to.

　　Sonia’s condition was beyond explanation, who might have thought she would survive the incident?

　　She slept on her bed, her hand across her waist.

　　It was about 12 midnight, when almost every workers had gone home only the night workers were around.

　　Movements weren’t much as the day period, and one can hear the echo of whispers.

　　The door opened, no one noticed it. He walks in quietly, silently not causing any single noise or sound.

　　He is not known, he never is. He just walks in and he does whatever he wants.

　　He is watching them but they aren’t watching him. He sees them but they don’t. And that’s exactly what he wants, to remain invisible.

　　He goes to her room, where she lays still unconscious. He doesn’t need to use the elevator, he’s got a way. The way.

　　He stands outside her door, watching her. He opens the door, quietly walking in. He stands beside the bed, his eyes never leaving hers.

　　“You really wanted to test me? You think running into that trailer would end things?” He laughed. “ Humans. Humans, when would you all learn?”

　　He paces the room, like he was thinking of something. “You want to die?” He chuckled. “Everyone fears death but you. . .” looks at her, “ you embraced it. No one embraces evil, I mean except me. Yeah, because I am the devil.

　　But look at you, your face, you would have died. Your face is a mess now, Sonia. Why? Because you think running away is the best choice? I will show you the best choice, Sonia.”

　　Her fingers moved, and so did her eye lids. She moved her head from her mother’s side to his, like she knew he was standing right there in her room.

　　“Y… you.” She said faintly.

　　“Yes, me.” He said sarcastically.

　　“W… what do you want? H.. how did you… get in here?” She asked, her voice getting fainty.

　　“ I came because… you brought me here.”

　　“I… I don’t understand. I didn’t call you. And… and I’m… I’m supposed to be dead. I remember the trailer, it was… it was… “ She coughs. “ It killed me.”

　　“ Almost. But didn’t… had the chance to. “

　　“ How… is that possible?” She whispered.

　　“ You seriously wanted to get yourself killed? For what? From me?”

　　“I… I don’t want you, monster. You aren’t supposed to be here. I am in this… “ She coughs. “ I am in this condition is because of you. I don’t know why you want me, but I am gonna tell you this, Mr, you aren’t having me for any damn reason. “

　　“ Seriously?” He asked her.

　　“ Seriously.”

　　He smiled. “ You know, you should be thanking me for saving your life and not this. You should have been dead by now, and you don’t know what that means, do you? Now, let me give you a hint, you dying would have been a lot more easier for me to get you.

　　Because, as soon as your soul leaves your body, it comes home. To my home. But look at you, you’re here, alive because I want you to. You should be grateful.”

　　“ I am.”

　　“No, you’re not. I’m just gonna let today slide, Miss Sotomayor, but that doesn’t mean it’s over. I’m coming back for my deal, I’m coming back for you.” And with that, he vanished.
