NAKIA’S POV
It seems everyone is catching a bug I’m sure is in the air and that bug is “Crazy”. Crown? Queen?
Everything is gibberish, just gibberish. I won’t over think this, I just know that I won’t ever help any stranger ever again, and what happened to his wound? Nah I won’t think about that either.
“Nakia Doctor Havens is requesting your assistance in the PET room” my colleague said to me as she grabbed her tray off the counter and I gave a faint smile before getting up and walking towards the PET room
I was almost walking past Mr. Lycan’s ward; curiosity just wants to get me killed. I stopped and peeped through the round glass on his door.
As usual, he’s sitting and staring at the wall like a crazy person. Not even like, he’s definitely crazy.
“You requested to see me sir” I stood by the entrance as Mr. Havens was talking to a patient, “ oh yes, Mr. Davies here brought his wife to do a PET scan and I need to you stay beside her to check for any weird body movement” he said and walked towards the monitor
“yes sir” I mouthed, “how are you ma’am?” I gave a polite smile as I stood beside the machine, “very well thank you sweetie” the middle aged lady replied as she laid under the machine with something on her head.
“Turn on the machine” Dr. Haven’s said, “ready?” she nodded positively and I turned the machine on
I placed my hand on top of the machine and as it came on the vibration sent some kind of energy into my body and entered my brain, my body was static as memories of the accident started rushing through my head.
It was moving so fast like the speed of light, I suddenly was able to move and my head was going into a frenzy. I held my head as I struggled with this sudden rush and then the pain in my ear began; it’s like a motorcar noise in my ear.
And soon enough, I blacked out.

“Are you okay Nurse Nakia?” I heard a voice as I slowly opened my eyes, “wh-what happened?” I sat up straight when I realized I was on a chair
“you just passed out, are you sure you are okay?” he asked further as he checked my eyes with a tiny torchlight, “hm-yeah” my eyes reacted to the light and he turned it off.
“you’ve obviously been working too much, you should take a break”
“No-I’m-I’m fine sir” I tried getting up and slumped back in the chair, “you see”
“I’m fine doctor Havens” I struggled to get up, “excuse me”
“Everyone needs a bit of rest sometimes, get that” I sighed before walking out and into the bathroom
What’s going on with me? Why am I suddenly feeling this way? I bent to rinse my face; I exhaled and looked at my reflection in the mirror
“Forgotten me so easily?” my reflection raised a brow at me and I flinched as I moved backwards swiftly, hitting my back on one of the toilet doors.
“What was that?” I muttered to myself, I’m seeing things now? “It’s okay Nakia, you’re just hallucinating. It’ll pass” I tried calming myself down
“When will you open your f*****g eyes, I’m not an imagination” she continued and I slapped my head continuously
“You’re just dreaming Nakia, it’s okay” I kept saying repeatedly till I rushed out of the bathroom
Things just got a lot weirder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got up from bed and dragged myself to the bathroom, my hair is messed and all tangled up but I’ll deal with that later.
I proceeded to brush my teeth and rinse my face, “you see Nakia, you’re just fine” I smiled at myself in the mirror. “for now” she said back and flinched
This cannot be happening again; I rushed out of the bathroom. “Why are you rejecting your true self?” she said in my head
“Stay the hell out of my head you-you demon” I cussed and dashed towards the passage, I just need my morning coffee and then I’ll be fine.
“I need you and you need me, accept your true nature Nakia” she continued, “oh there’s nothing to accept. My name is Nakia Reyes and I’m a nurse, and you are just a demon trying to possess me and that won’t work. That is all to accept” I angrily turned my coffee and carried it
“Why are you fighting this? I’ve been gone for a long time but now it’s time to use all this power that you have”
“Shut the hell up” I yelled as I stomped my left leg on the floor spilling some of the coffee on the rug, I was almost walking back in when I felt some presence in my living room.
I turned and that stranger I helped was standing in my living room with another man that looks way older.
“What are you doing here! And how did you even get in?” I walked towards them and dropped my cup on the side table
“you are right, she is the one” the older man whispered to the stranger, “apologies my queen for startling you…..i heard you’re back and wanted to see for myself” he continued
Back? From where? I’m just going to play along to avoid more weird stuff, “well you’ve seen me, your curiosity has been fed. Please get out” I forced a smile.
“Queen we…”I cut the stranger off, “Please don’t call me that, its-it’s disturbing” I rubbed my temple
