Keira's P.O.V.
It seemed like I am trapped in a dark room forever. There is no light. I know what my situation is. This is not the first time I am stuck in this dark room. It's like my second home. A home where I always found peace. I want to stay in this place forever. But... ha ha ha... again... but.. I have to go back. My sufferings are still pending in the living world. I have to wake up from my deep slumber. I don't want to go. I want to stay here.
I felt something on my lips. It's really soft. Very soft, gentle and ... wait... with a feeling????? What the hell??? someone is kissing me????? I panicked. No No No... this can't be happening. Someone is taking advantage of my unconscious state. I need to wake up now. I tried hard to open my eyes. It's impossible to open my eyes. They are very heavy. There was a throbbing pain in my head, in my chest.. oh my god... all over my body. I again tried hard.
Slowly slowly I opened my eyes. The pain was horrible. It's almost unbearable. I want to scream due to pain, but my throat was totally dried. I looked at the person, who is leaning over me. My eyes widened to see Ryder there. What he is doing here????
and
He kissed me???? Why????
Our eyes met. There were so many emotions in his eyes. I want to look into them forever. But, this pain was killing me.
Suddenly he stepped back away from me and saw me shocked. Then he literally jumped over me and hugged me. "you are awake", he whispered happily. I just pushed him a little and want to ask him for water. He looked confused. I again tried to signal him for water, but couldn't. I collect my all remaining strength in my body and said in harsh voice "water".
He immediately pulled a glass of water from the table and placed the tip of the glass on my lips. "Don't drink immediately Keira. It will hurt you. Drink sip by sip", he said in concerned voice. I blinked my eyes in confirmation and sipped. It really hurt first. I took a couple of breaths then took another sip. After that, I took few more sips and signaled him through the blinking of eyes to remove the glass. I don't know how but he understood and removed the glass from my lips. Then he buzzed the switch to call the nurse.
He softly cupped my face in his palms and kissed my forehead. I was really confused. Why is he showing so much of concern and compassion to me. Why I am here in a private room??? OMG... It's a private room. I panicked to see the room. How can I pay for this room? OMG.... what I am going to do now?????
One of the machines connected to me started beeping rapidly. I was breathing rapidly. I seemed to like having a panic attack. Ryder suddenly cupped my face again. "Keira, calm down. You are safe. No one can hurt you now", he tried to calm me down. I want to tell him that it's now about my safety. It's about the cost of my treatment. But not able to uttered a single word. Soon the nurse came and injected something immediately into my veins. Soon, I have drifted again in darkness.
Ryder's P.O.V.
I was softly carrassing her face, when I saw her blinking. She was gaining her consciousness. I wanted her desperately to open her deep eyes and look at me. She slowly opened her eyes and there was so much pain that eyes. I wanted to take all her pains. I wanted to free her from all pains. I was confused about what she wanted when she tried to say something. Only one word came from her mouth "water". I quickly pulled the glass from the patient shelf and softly placed it on her lips. The nurse informed me that whenever she awake, she would need to drink water slowly as it could hurt her throat. So, I softly requested her to sip slowly. She blinked her eyes in affirmation and drank slowly. Her expressions showed that it hurt her like a hell. I felt her pain in my heart. An urge to kill those bastards filled my heart instantly. after few seconds after taking some small breaths, she slowly drank more water then again blinked. I means that she had enough. I removed the glass from her lips and pressed intercom to call the sister.
I cupped her face gently and looked at her. What is she doing to me? Why I want her to be saved from any danger? I wanted to know the answer but at the same time did not.
Suddenly, the heart monitoring started beeping rapidly. She was paniking. But why? I quickly cupped her face again and softly said "Keira, calm down. You are safe. No one can hurt you now". But she was hyperventilating.
I desperately wanted her to be calmed. Soon the nurse came and after seeing her condition. She immediately pulled an injection from her tray and injected her instantly. She, soon, became unconscious.
