This time when I opened my eyes, I was alone. Julia was no longer there and my whole body was now aching even more as if it wasn't enough, the burns from the burning chaining was also sore.
"Any one there?" I called out
"Please, I can no longer take the pain" luckily a good Samaritan nurse came in "Nurse please, unwrap me from this jacket" I pleaded
"So that you can continue hurting yourself?" she blurted out "Whaat? No, that's not true; he is the one who did it"
why was everybody thinking that i was the on hurting myself
"Another invisible friend? I've heard that a lot" she said sarcastically taking off the straight jacket.
"come on, lets go" she pat my shoulder showing me the way. i winced as i tried to walk, my body was aching everywhere
The nurses voice kept echoing in my head, the thing about me hurting myself, I remembered when Twilight cut my wrist, they say I was the one who did,
another invisible friend?
But then come to think of it, i was the only one seeing him, he could only hurt me meaning that he was messing with my head. I needed to come up with a plan to get him off my back for a while.
"Twilight! Can you hear me?" I helplessly called out to him.
" What happened babe? You called me" he asked faking sympathy
" Babe, please forgive me, let's go back the way we used to be, me you, in the beautiful pack,"
I pleaded but his next action got me off guard as a hatty slap descended on my cheeks sending me to the mattress. I felt my head spinning as i rubbed my burning cheeks
"What! Am saying sorry aren't I?" I cried
"Do you think am stupid? Huh!" He kicked my stomach "You had your chance but ruined it"
"But am human, I make mistakes"
"Well am not, so don't expect me to fill pity for you, I am now you master and you my slave and seeing you suffer like this gives me satisfactory" he said mercilessly
"You are a monster, a very heartless monster. You don't know what love is, you are wicked!" I threw punches at him not that he flinch or anything.
He only chuckled.
The whole night I did not sleep, rather kept thinking on how to help Julia, something to keep my mind off the pain.
"Maybe I should tell my psychologist" i thought out loud. it was a good idea, at least he might be able to find out about what they were doing to Julia. Lucky for me, the nurse forgot to lock my door.
How irresponsible
I silently sneaked outside my room. it was silent and no one around. quickly i tiptoed towards the doctor's office, I sighed of relief when i saw light coming from his office meaning that he was still in their
"Sir, we did it well" i stopped immediately on my tracks as a familiar voice spoke right from my psychologist office
"Are you sure no one saw you?" He asked
"Yes" another different voice
Why were these voices so familiar? Where have I heard them before? what is it that no one is suppose to know?
The door suddenly opened and I quickly hid myself. i almost got chocked when the same nurses whom had taken Julio earlier came out of the office.
I could not believe that my psychologist was the one giving orders.
What was this place I again? I wondered.
He was no different form Twilight! Torturing people and messing with people's mind was all they enjoyed. Now that I knew who the evil doctor was, I vowed to bring him down come what may.

The next visiting day I agreed to meet my parents, as expected they were super happy to see me. In the past three months I had been declining their visit only accepting Eddy's..
"Oh Anna I missed you so much" mom couldn't hide her excitement and happiness. She hugged me so tight that I couldn't breathe
"Mom, I can't breathe" I struggled.
She let go and my daddy chuckled
"Dad" I said slowly and hugged him too, I could feel him restraining himself from tightening his already tightened ribs which were longing to hug me
"How are you Angel" he asked "how are you?" Asked mom "do you still.." she trailed off, suddenly pissing me off
"What do you think, am still mad, that is the reason why am here right?" I snapped at her. i could see hurt in her eyes " We did this so that you get better" Explained daddy
"Their is no getting better in this place but more and more insane, I agreed to see you because I need you to help me save someone in here" I said
" Are you for serious? Instead of saving yourself, you are talking about saving others? Unbelievable!" Stormed out my mom "Who is this you want to save?" Asked daddy curiously "Julia, Julio's daughter, the ambassador you know"
"What is she doing here?" dad was shocked, I explained to both of them what I had seen and heard. "Electrifying a patient is illegal! Are you sure about this Anna? Did you really see them do that?" mom asked with a little doubt in her voice
"I saw them take her but didn't see them electrifying but am sure that's what they did, I saw sparks of light coming from the room" I tried convincing them but all I could see were worried parents starring at their delusional daughter "Of course, you don't believe me!" I scoffed
"You know maybe a little bit of a benefit of doubt will be much better. I am not doing this for myself but for someone else" I got up ready to walk away when they stopped me.
"Anna might have a point, I mean at the funeral, Julio's daughter , yes she was sad but she didn't look crazy plus the brother was always ambitious. He never wanted to work hard but wanted the money" he said trying to remember
"Exactly dad, even when I met Julia she didn't look insane, oh, I even look crazier than her" they both chuckled at my last point.
"Even if it is true, we don't know who the doctor is" Mom said looking worried.
"I know the doctor.." as always my big mouth. I forgot that I hadn't memorized a lie that could explain how I got to find out
"You do? How?" asked mom curiously? I was quite for sometimes still figuring what to say .
"Annabel" dad eyed me questionably.
"Ah..i might have sneaked to my physiologist"
"Wait, what is your physiologist have to do with all this?" dad asked trying to round his finger over whatever I was saying.
"Because he is the bad guy"
"Unbelievable! That can't be true" mom exclaimed touching her chest in disbelief
"Are you sure about this Anna?" dad touched both my shoulder looking me straight in the eye
"I am sure believe me"
"But Doctor Sofia recommended Doctor Raphael to us".
Now I had a sure bet, I knew Mom and dad wouldn't rest until they put that doctor down. Knowing my dad and his connection, I needed no to worry .
"Mom, dad, if you help her then I promise that I will work on getting better, I will come back home, soon. But only after she gets out of this place, promise please" I insisted.
They had no choice but to promise. we spent the rest of the day talking and catching up. Good thing Twilight didn't ruin the moment.
On my way back to my room, He appeared obviously checking on how his little slave was doing.
"Wow that was so sweet, i mean Instead of asking your parents to get you out of here, you are actually asking them to save that girl? Mmh, what do we do with her?" He rubbed his temple,.
"Mmmh, as if you can harm them" I replied sarcastically.
He could not possibly harm anyone except for me, could he?
"I actually can" he answered as if reading my mind "I did cause that accident with your friend" he said.
"No you didn't!"
"I actually had help" his look was mischievous "What do you mean"
"Do you really want me to spell it, i thought you are the smart one"
"No, it can be.." i shook my head, he couldn't be possibly telling the truth.
"Yes it can" he whispered close in my ear "You caused Alex's accident"
"No,no, no" i scratched my head. i could have never done that. Alex was my friend and i put him in a coma? what kind of friend was i?
"so just imagine, if you were capable of doing that to your friend what about Julia..."
"Stay the heck, away from Julia and my family" I warned .
"That depends on you or else..."
"Or else what? I will kill you before you lay your filthy hands on her, I will kill you" I finally managed to slap him. His eyes grew dark, his veins were visible in every part of his body, his teeth grew reminding me of the vampires.
He roared and instantly i was in the middle of the forest, strong wind whistling and lightening. I screamed but only darkness surrounded me and . I felt like I was in the middle of a strong Tsunami.
I was scared.
Of living or of dying, i knew i needed help, i wanted help but who would have helped me?
I did not want to go to a therapist but i had to, since i was already in the psychiatrist hospital. Twilight had warned me not to say anything to the doctor.
I wanted to tell them everything but I was afraid that the he would kill me. Even though he was just in my head had so much power over me. he made me see things that didn't exist and feel such an imminence pain and what hurt the most was the fact that i was the one causing everything.
I had entangled myself in my mind and now i was a slave. Seemed like I went into oblivion, remembered not by anyone.
Just like the cries of the innocent into clogged ears, they fell. My voice became soar, from wailing and screaming for help. Who will come to the rescue from this retched addict?
