She opened her eyes as she feels the sun rays on her eyes. She swirled her eyes round the ceiling as if stung by a bee, she sprang up quickly from the bed but her body hurt.
"Ouch" she groan as she gently sit up on the edge of the bed.
Squinting around trying to get her bearings, everything seems very strange to her. She wondered how she end up here, scratching her head thinking she is dreaming, hours ago she was in the thick and dark wood full with mangroves been torture and beaten to death. Immediately the images of her memory replayed in her head, she lay down on the large bed curling herself together like a scared lamb trying as hard as possible not to think about the next thing, the scene alone is scaring and her heart began to thump boom boom immediately she thought about those.
To her she felt she was kept here as a sacrificial lamb, maybe they are planning what else to do with her.
She felt cold despite wrapping herself with the thick and heavy blanket.
She could barely speak as her throat is dried due to long wailing, she has no strength.
"Please!!!!! Plea...se!!!!...let me go"
She stuttered grizzly with tears rolling down her cheeks. Her voice inaudibly that no one could barely respond to it.
She closed her eyes as the painful memories started flooding into her head, her eyes widened in fear and her hands trembled clenching her teeth and grabbing the blanket tightly as she try to remembered some of her encounter in the wood.
The darkness, the roaring of the thunderstorm and lightening of the rays, the pain, the huddle and hulky men with their husky uproar who torture and taunt her.
She wailed in pain, clenching tightly onto the thick blanket like her life depends on it.
She was squinting trembling round the room when the door jack open and she give out a hullabaloo.
"Plea....see!!!.Plea.....see!!!".
The door open and a young man with a chiseled chest came in with a small try balancing on his left hands.
Without minding her trembling and screaming walked up to her without saying a single word. Edging the seat closer to her bedside he looked straight to her face and she closed her eyes pulling her face away from him.
The chilly aura surrounding him sends shivers down her spines making her to edge backward in fears.
The man without giving her room for resillence pull her arm forward and she groan in pain.
"Ouch" immediately his hands grabbed her arm and he release it, holding her chin up she watch as he use the white towel to clean her face.
She tried to resist but he shoot her a glare that sends fears down her bones.
She was confused and also scared watching him clean her wounds up.
She wanted to say something but her voice was cracked and her brain can't process anything for now.
The door open and an elderly woman came in followed by two young ladies carrying a tray of food.
They set the table the table behind her, bow to the young man and left.
She was surprised even at her critical stage.
"What is happening" she thought within her as they bow and left.
Once he was done tending to her wounds, he nod his head raising an eyebrow that shows his bluish crystal eyeballs.
"Tha.....nk you" she stuttered immediately he stand up to leave.
Instead of acknowledging her words he turn towards her with his finger on his lips shutting her up without making any shuuush sounds.
Immediately he left, she tried to stand up but realized her leg can barely hold together. Without trying much she lay down on the bed, her heartbeat returned to a steady rhythm and she dream off.
************************************
When she wakes up an hour later, the young man was in the room. He was sitting with his tilted head leaning backward and supporting his chin with a tip of his two fingers.
She looked at him trying to help herself down the bed but he opened his eyes immediately he sensed her awake. Throwing her a long gaze which scared her more and more.
"I want to use the bathroom" she uttered and without saying a word to her, rose from his seat and lend her a hand which she hesitate. She was scared to take his hand but since she can barely stand. With much tremulousness she hold unto him, hobbling along with him to the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, she don't even know where to start from due to the pain her whole body wreck of.
Her bodies were filled with bruises which makes it difficult to lift her arm. The pain was as if she was wrecked from a fracture. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she managed to seat on the empty bathtub.
The young man who helped her to the bathroom left withouts even saying anything to her closing the door behind him leaving her to do whatever she please to do in there.
Immediately he left,.she wanted to take a warm bath but the pain in her body was too much that she find it difficult to remove her clothes.
She seriously needs help but it seems she is not getting any making her to understand where she is, maybe in a hidden tunnel she thought.
She decided to do it herself, she makes up her mind within to endure the pain and help herself out.
"I need to stay strong if i am to make it here alive" she mumbled leaping towards the shower. Just as she was about turning turning the shower on, the door open, startling her as she came face to face with the exact woman that brought the food earlier this morning.
She was wearing a blue dress and her long inky hair was neatly arranged, she was accompany this time around by another younger lady who seems like her age.
"Need some help" the elderly woman said approaching her.
She stood up leaping out of the way for the two.
The younger of two started preparing the bath and when she was done, turned to the elderly woman.
"The water is okay for a warm bath"
"Okay!! That's good... help her undress and also help her to bath"the elderly woman ordered her.
She stood and watch the two preparing the bathtub, surprised as she still don't understand what is happening. She was snapped out of her thought as one of the young lady approached her and her eyes widened in shock.
"No!!!No..i can bath myself" she said resistfuly blocking her ways with her hands.
"You are still weak to move talk more of taking a bathing" she said flashing her a small smile.
A silent reign between them "somehow what she said seemed to have some truth in it, few minutes ago i was i was hoping for help and now help is here I am rejecting it". Before she open her mouth to speak someone beat her to it.
"No need to worry Miss. We all are ladies and your wounds need tender care". The elderly woman said giving her a nod to carry on her task.
She stare as the younger of the two started by removing her top, she was feeling nervous and and her face covered in red. She feel as if her private life is being invade as she grasp onto her jean trouser the moment the lady touch the zip of it.
"Wait!!!! She uttered, her eyes meeting hers with a blank expression.
"Are you okay" she asked looking up to her who close her eyes averting her gaze.
"This is crazy. Aren't no way I'mma allowed you to undress me" she creased her eye.
"We don't have a choice miss or do you think you are strong enough to carry on without help".
She heavy a sigh, lossing her hands to enable her carry along her task.
After she was done removing her clothes, she helped her inside the bathtub. Immediately her body touch the water, she let out a scream as she feels the scorching heat of the water working wonders on her wounds.
"Ouch!!!! She scream as the lady takes time to gently scrub her body.
She clenched her teeth as she feel the sponge brushed ever so slightly on her body.
"This is crazy!!!! Never in my youthful life has anyone bath " she cursed in her mind, the urge to take the sponge from her suddenly surged within her and she heavy a sigh.
She hated that she is helpless and depend on someone for help.
She lean her head backward for her as she applied the shampoo on her hair building up bubbles. Feeling so tired even inside the bathtub, she just gasped out, shut her eyes while the lady wash and sponge all her body.
What else can she do she is already in a dilemma .
She step out of the bathtub,her whole body felt warmth, so warm that she feels like she just recovered her lost strength. The two help her out and wrapped a thick pink towel around her body leading her straight back to the room.
