This time, | was well aware that | was laying in a lumpy bed. A beeping sound filled my ears before my eyes started opening. At first, | thought | was in a hosptial room. Montiers wrapped around my belly, an I.V. was sticking out of my arm and the smell of bleach filled my nose. It was the concrete walls that gave it away.
“Where am I?” | asked. Looking at a monitor, three separate heart beats blinked, almost in unison.
“That's not important. Do you know who | am?” There was a man in a white coat that was writing on a clip board. The other hand was standing to my right, looking at me. He instant gavea chills. His black eyes looked atlike a hunter looks at prey.
“No.” | said honestly. | had ssuspicions but | didn’t want to talk more than | needed to.

Instead of answering his own question or statement, he laughed and walked around the end of the bed. “What are you doing to my babies?” “Nothing right now.” The doctor said without looking at me. “They are thriving but still need a little growth. | would say another week or two before they are born.” “Damn, that’s a long time. Can she travel?” Vin asked. His hands were on his hips as he glared at the doctor.
“No. Any air travel will put her at a great risk for a blood clot. If she dies because you put her on a plane, there goes your blood.” The doctor gave him a pointed look before walking out.
| was very much aware of how little clothing | was wearing right now. This is why | didn’t wear revealing clothing.
You just never know what situations you find yourself in.
“Back to you.” Vin picked up a clear bag that was full of blood. “Thank you for this donation. Fortunately for you, | could only take so much because it put the babies at risk. | need everyone healthy but this will make a huge batch of potion.” Tears filled my eyes as | watched him laugh and walk out of my personal torture room. My feet looked like sausages. Every t| tried to move my leg, | couldn't. Leaning forward, | went to feel them but a sharp pull on my back madestop.
“You have an epidural in. | wouldn't move... unless you want to be paralyzed.” The doctor cback in. He was carrying a bucket with gloves on. Bending down by my bed, it wasn’t until he stood up that | realized he emptied a pee bag. My pee bag. That is when | notice a tub coming out from under my skirt and down the side of the bed.
The feeling of being violated filled me. “I think | am going to throw up.” “Here.” He tosseda bag and walked out.
After emptying the contents of my stomach, a soft hand took it from me. “I'm nurse Rosalie. | put the catheter in.
Don’t worry, no man has touched you inappropriately.” “Thank you.” | said quietly. She tossed my vomit bag in the trash and grabbed a rag. Running it under the sink, she cover and whipped my forehead with it.
“I've been imprisoned here for most of my life. They forcedto go to medical school.” My eyes looked at her arms. They were covered in finger print bruises as well as her neck.

“I honestly don’t remember who | was. One day, | went to give Rip sfood and found him passed out. There was a folding of missing girls on his desk and | saw my picture. That's how | found out. | tried to look for more information but | was caught. Beaten and almost died but I'm a fighter.” Rosalie smiled sadly at me.
“Why are you helping me?” “Firstly, | am your nurse. | want to keep you alive and healthy till hopefully help comes for you.” She looked behind herself before leaning closer to me. “Takewith you when help comes. I've heard about you, who you are and everything. Save me, please.” Her eyes were beggingto help her. “I will.” | whispered back.
A loud bang sounded outside the door, making her jump. “I have to go. I'll be back with food for you.” Gathering up her supplies, she walked out and closed the door behind her.
I had no movement in my legs, no feeling in my legs to even hold myself up. The needle in my back could cause permanent damage if | tied to even walk. Basically, they did the only thing that would force a women to stay in bed. There was no fighting this. With only my arms, | had little control over what they did to my body. Judging by the look of my leg, that is where they took my blood. My only saving grace is he said | had another week or two before the babies were due.
That would give Colt stto find me. Since | didn’t want to know what was all going on, | had no idea if they had any leads or an idea of where | was. There wasn’t a clock on the wall either. All | could do was pray to the Moon Goddess that my babies staying in as long as possible. Praying that Colt would findbefore they tookon a plane to where ever they wanted to go.
My babies stopped moving and settled down as my hand laid on my stomach. | could only feel the very top part, just under my lungs. “Stay in there. Our lives depend on it.”
