I can’t.
I’ve lost all sense of time and my surroundings.
I’m still lying on that filthy floor with a monster violating me.
The car stops, and seconds or hours later, I’m lifted into Nikolai’s strong arms, and my head slumps against his shoulder.
“Christ, Abigail!”
There’s only concern in Nikolai’s harsh tone, but I can’t force my eyes open.
My body jolts as he runs, and I hear him shout, “She’s been hurt.”
“Place her on the bed,” I hear another voice.A man.
I float onto the mattress, and soon hands take my vitals before probing my face. I feel the pain, but it’s nothing compared to the devastation inside me.
I can’t.
In a zombie state, I open my eyes and push the hands away from me. I sit up and throw my legs off the bed.
“Let the doctor look at you,” Nikolai says, his voice strained with worry.
I shake my head and climb to my feet.
“Abigail!” Nikolai snaps. “Christ.”
“She’s in shock.” My eyes turn to the speaker, and I hardly take in the man in the white coat.
A doctor?
He reaches for me, and I instantly recoil. “Don’t touch me!” The growl from me sounds unnatural.
“Miss Sartori, we need to treat the wounds on your face. You probably have a concussion as well.”
“Don’t touch me,” I whimper. “Don’t touch me!” I move back, bumping into the bed.
Feeling cornered, I frantically look around, and seeing the space between Nikolai and the doctor, I dart forward and run for my life.
I make it into a hallway and turn right.
“Abigail!” Nikolai shouts.
Just then, Alek appears at the end of the hallway, and I sprint as fast as I can. “Alek,” I breathe, his name barely audible on my lips. “Alek!”
He opens his arms in time for me to slam into his chest, and I start to ramble with pure desperation, “Help me. You have to help me.”
“Shh…Abbie. I’ll help you.” I feel Alek’s arms close around me, then he says, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her.”
“What the fuck happened to her?” Nikolai demands, his voice thick with concern.
Oh God, if Nikolai stays with me, he’ll realize what happened to me, and I don’t want him to know. I’ll die if he finds out.
“They beat the shit out of her,” Alek mutters. “She’s in shock. I killed the fuckers, so she probably feels safe with me. Just give her some space.”
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
“The doctor needs to check her. She might have a concussion,” Nikolai murmurs, his tone softer.
