Nunti

Chapter 5

"Are you okay?" Kate asks.

"Yeah" I say sitting up, pain rings throughout my body, it's getting no better.

"Take these for the pain, it'll help" she holds two little white pills.

"What is it?"

"Pills. They help pain"

"Oh, okay"

"Put them in your mouth and drink this" I take the pills, put them in my mouth and swallow them.

"I still feel pain"

"It takes a while for them to kick on"

"Oh, where did the other woman go?"

"She left, she had work to do?"

"Work?"

"Yeah, its - never mind" I look at her thinking, her voice sounds like of the women in my dream.

"I had a dream. I think you were in it"

"Me?"

"Yeah. I... I couldn't see. But I could hear voices, yours was one of them, I think, I'm not too sure. It sounded familiar though, I think it was you"

"Okay, what happened?"

"I'm in a room. I can't see, I can't move, I'm tied to something. There are voices outside, yours is one of them. There's another woman to. You said you were sorry. It's all just a blur now, you kept saying you were sorry"

"Right" I lie back and relax, Kate watches me as I make myself comfortable. We make eye contact. I don't know what else to say,. We sit in silence thinking about my dream.

Five minutes later we see red and blue flashing lights by the window.

"Oh no" Kate runs to the window and looks out. "Oh no oh no" I see panic in her eyes. She looks over at me.

"What is it?" I ask, Kate doesn't reply straight away. She looks in shock, gob-smacked. I want an answer, but I feel like I'm not getting one. Knock knock knock at the door.

"Oh my God" Kate whispers to herself.

"Kate open the door!" a voice yells. A voice I feel like I've heard before. Kate runs towards the door and opens it. Several people enter the room. First I see a middle aged woman with short blonde hair wearing black clothes, then four women behind in uniform, holding guns. All eyes fall on me. Fear, confusion and anxiety hits me at once. "You should have rang me the moment you came across her" the woman snaps at her.

"Karen, I'm sorry, I really am - "

"Sorry? You're damn right you'll be sorry" Kate is sorry. Like she was in my dream. I move to sit up, I see the guns raise up. I feel a stabbing pain in my neck, it sends me back to sit down. A cold tingling sensation flows throughout my body, I suddenly feel heavy and tired, my eyes start to close automatically.

"I'm sorry..." those words ring around my mind as I fall into a deep slumber.
