Chapter 72 : Esmee

“Hello girls” A little woman said floating towards the bed in a grace full manner about twenty minutes later; she was strangely familiar, though I could not put a name to her face. Crystal got up instantly, dropping the magazine on the floor and walked over to greet her pleased that she was finally to be set free of me.

 “Hello Crystal. How are you?” The little woman asked having to look up to see into Crystal’s eyes. “How has Mi been?” Crystal didn’t’t say anything but I could of guess she was rolling her eyes. I had not talk to her for the rest of the time she was in there so she had nothing to moan about. Crystal didn’t’t like that. She wanted to complain. She wanted to cause me trouble. She wanted to cause anyone and everyone trouble.

 “Well have a good afternoon Crystal, I’m sure Mi and I will have a good time.” She sent a sparkling smile in my direction and without really noticing or thinking about what I was doing I smiled back, it was effortless. Crystal moaned something under her breath and left her heals echoing on the floor.

 The mystical woman advanced towards my bed in more of a dance then a walk her thick deep red hair bouncing a few inches under her shoulders like she was advertising shampoo. Her eyes where as black as the night but they sparkled like they had glitter in them. Her complexion was milky white but she had perfect red rosy cheeks. She wore a lovely flowing white top which made her curves in perfect proportion. She was not size zero super model skinny and she was not overweight either. She just fitted perfectly in with the world around her. I was the cercal pieces trying to fir though the square on a children’s shape sorter.

 “Thin is beauty Mia, if you are thin you are perfect, when you are thin people will love you. Who could love you, the way you look. The way the fat sticks to your face and stomach and hips. You are discussing. You disgust me.”

 I winced at the voice in my head as she came close to my bed, I tried to hide the expression with a yawn but she saw it any way.

 “Do you need some pain killers.” she asked before taking the seat next to my bed.

 “No I’m fine.” I reassured “just a twinge.” I glanced down at my legs.

 “Well there is no need to be in pain my love.” She said gently patting the blankets on the side of my bed. “That’s what pain killers are for. They must be sore, I don’t mind seeing if a nurse can get you some.”

 “No, honest I have just had some.”

 “Well if you’re sure, just tell me if you change your mind.” 

 “I will. Ummm I’m not sure I have meat you before.” I said quietly

 “Oh I’m sorry honey. I suppose you were a little bit worse for wear the last time we met. I’m Esmee sweetheart. I was the one doing your blood pressure and things back at the unit before the ambulance arrived. I am sorry we had to meat like that when you weren’t feeling all that well.”Her face suddenly fit into the picture and I knew why she was familiar, she didn’t’t look half as beautiful back then as what she did now but that was probably because I was barely with it.

 “How are you feeling now my honey? Emmet said you were not doing so well yesterday when you came in.”

 My vision clouded over as the foggy memory’s of the day before entered my head. I was not sure where the daemons had surfaced from yesterday but I couldn’t’t get rid of them and I had been taken over. The warmness of Emmet’s arms around me made my body shudder. He had saved me but I didn’t’t deserve it Crystal had said he was restraining but there was no way he was. Now there was a bit of me that wished he had, rejection and violence I seemed to understand better then love and care. I shuddered again as a velvet touch similar to his touched my hand. Esmee had obviously seen the sadness that had crept over my face.

 “Are you all right Mi?” She asked

 “Yeah,” I said shaking my head viciously trying to get rid of the fog that had gathered “Yeah fine,” I muttered shaking my head again. “Is it all right if I go to the loo?” I asked trying to change the subject, trying to get my head to focus back in on the situation.Esmee sighed knowing I was not going to like her answer all that much.

 “Sure, you can honey, but you do realize I will have to be with you.”
