Chapter 18 ~Ceres~

When I woke up, I was alone in the bedroom. I had no idea how I'd gotten here. I had a distant memory being in a doctor's office and Wolfgang telling me that I had to let the doctor help me, but beyond that, I had nothing. My body hurt so much, and my wrists were immobile. Upon further inspection, it was because they were in soft casts. I had a flash of a memory of Alan kicking my wrists and breaking at least one of them. My fingers of the hand attached to the broken wrist were purple and the pain when I tried to wiggle them was nauseating. I could move my fingers of the other hand without too much of a hassle, but the fact that it had a wrap on it suggested that it was also injured. I also felt a bandage around my neck and my face felt swollen.

I stood and walked over to the vanity and flipped on the light. The harshness of it burned my eyes and I blinked a few times before I had a chance to look at myself. I looked... horrible.

The bandage around my neck made me think of Frankenstein's monster. My broken nose had given me a pair of black eyes that were so dark and purple that I wondered if they would ever go back to normal. There was blood in my hair and a gash on my forehead that someone cleaned up. I felt just as bad as I looked.

I reached up with a cautious hand to take off the bandage around my neck. I wanted to know how bad it was, and it itched like crazy. It was hard to remove with fingers that didn't quite work, but I got it off. When I pulled it away, I started to wish I hadn't. My neck looked like a blistered mess. From one side to the other was an almost perfect line of tiny blisters. The part that scared me most were the tiny black veins around the edges of the blisters. With any luck, whatever it had taken to save my life had taken care of that too and they would go away soon.

I started to search for something to re-bandage my neck with and then realized that there was no way I could do it on my own right now. I sighed and went into the bathroom to do my business. You don't want to know how hard it is to clean up down there when you have no wrists.

While I was in there, I could hear Riley on the phone. I couldn't make out every word he used, but his tone sounded more than a little upset. When I heard Wolfgang's name, my heart started to race.

I rushed into the living room as soon as I finished in the bathroom and saw Riley pacing with his phone to his ear. "I've tried calling him, it goes straight to voicemail. We have to start looking for him.
