Chapter Sixteen

There is always madness in love,

but there is also always some reason in madness

- Friedrich Nietzsche

Four green eyes squinting at me.

Brown eyes opened wide.

One skinned grape being shoved into a mouth.

Four heads stared down at me and I jumped when my vision came into focus.

“You okay?”

Sally spoke first, reaching over to brush my hair away from my face. I tried to move, tried to shift my body out of the uncomfortable position it was in, but my arms were pinned around my torso and my legs were chained in place.

“You aren’t going anywhere, sweetheart. You’re in a jacket. I’d stopped struggling against it if I were you,” Michelle suggested sympathetically.

A screaming woman could be heard in the distance. Her words were disjointed and indecipherable, but the misery she was feeling was apparent in her voice.

All four faces turned away and scowled.

Julianne returned her attention to me, smiling at the voice of the screaming woman. Angling her head towards the voice, she warned, “I’d avoid the woman in the box. They say she hears voices. I say she’s the craziest of us all.”

Lesley elbowed her and Julianne reacted by sticking out her tongue.

“Stop trying to scare her, Little Julie. She’s in enough trouble as it is.”

“What?” It was the first time I tried to speak and I had difficulty enunciating my words around the cotton that was filling my mouth. “What trouble?”

Michelle chuckled. “Hard to talk when you’re doped up, isn’t it?”

Sally finally looked back at me and smiled. “You killed Emerson. Not just killed but flattened his head. Literally. Brains and blood everywhere. It was intense!”

My head swam, their images coming in and out of focus….eight women and then four. Blinking my eyes, I stared up at them trying to make sense of what they were telling me.

“I … what? I didn’t kill anybody.” The words slurred together, my head rolling on my shoulders. I didn’t know if it was the room that was spinning or my chair.

Sally opened her mouth to answer, but a sound in the distance had all the girls suddenly on edge. “Shit. We have to go. Talk later, kid.”

They were gone. I closed my eyes, searching my thoughts for any clue as to what had happened or why I was here.

“Ms. Sutton?”

The seductive and smooth voice rolled across my thoughts. Jeremy; a man who was beautiful and smart, yet distant and so cold. My heart fluttered, my head pounded with want and I could no longer ignore the heat that flamed through me when he was near. Our last session had ended with his arm wrapped around me. Whispered confessions echoed in my memory. But it couldn’t be him. Wouldn’t be. He was too good to actually exist in this nightmare.

“Alex. Open your eyes.”

It was an illusion – nothing more than a dream. If I kept my eyes closed, I could imagine his sapphire blues eyes, the cut of his strong jaw or the way his dark brown hair framed his face. Squeezing them
