FIVE
The first unfamiliar voice I heard was male. I struggled to focus, but it was like my body was too heavy to move, from my eyelids to my toes. Even the voice sounded like it was far away or a TV with the volume on low.
"Guards... no one... we need her to stay safe..." I heard the unfamiliar voice say.
The reply came with words I couldn't hear, but my heart relaxed at the sound. I didn't know his name, but I knew his voice meant safety.
The unfamiliar man heard him, though, and he responded, "...get them before the local police do... be her f*****g best mate..."
It's his job to guard me. He's not police, but he's here. He's going to stay and keep me safe. And he has orders to get them before the police do. s**t, not before I get there first. I want to kill them all for what they did to me. Maybe he'll help me... my best mate, all right.
They kept talking while my thoughts drifted in the dark.
Some of the words penetrated the fog in my head. "Let me know what you find out. And don't let anyone f*****g kill her." The unfamiliar voice faded, as if he was walking away from me.
That's right. Don't let anyone f**k or kill me. Not even in self-defence.
Drifting...
