Chapter 54 : How to get to the ECA.


“Please, please!” I begged trying to control the hysteria in my voice. “I won’t do anything. I wasn’t trying to attack Crystal. I wouldn’t even dream of it,” and I hadn’t. I didn’t lurch off of the table to attack Crystal, I wanted the sharps box. I wanted the razor blade. I wanted the release that the tiny sting would bring to me. I wanted the tiny red beads of blood across my skin. I needed the end of time itself.

“You should sedate her Emmet. She is completely uncontrollable and volatile.” Crystal snapped ignoring my pleas.
I howled. I wasn’t violent, I wouldn’t hurt her. No matter how much I wanted to. I wouldn’t even hurt myself if she would just let her iron grasp release around me; If she would just hate me a little less.

“I don’t think she needs sedating Crystal. She is showing no violence towards any of us at the moment. In fact you could probably un-restrain her now.”


“Let’s get her to the ECA first.” Crystal said a little peeved that she didn’t have the chance to medicate me to an inch within my sanity. She shifted effortlessly to her feet without warning me her arms still tight around me. Almost chocking me she dragged me to my feet. My back was still braced against her body and my chest still heaved with heavy sobs. I thought I was going to vomit over her as my stomach retched towards my chest.

“Crystal!” Emmet snapped now irritated with her and unable to control the edge to his voice “I don’t believe Mi knows how we move people to the ECA and I think you might of hurt her.”

  I heard Crystal chuckle inaudible to Emmet. I said nothing now and I managed to stop crying, the numbness was now creeping back over my soul. Emmet approached me with two giant strides over the clinic room floor, gently smoothed his thumb over my wet cheeks and sighed as my eyes stared right through him; hardly recognizing his face near mine.

“Mi this is going to be very hard for you to let us do but no one will hurt you OK. I’m sorry.”
