Chapter 5 - Screams
I groaned as I woke up, feeling hot and tired.
I tried to get up, but someone stopped me.
"Stay down. You're fever is rising," a girl's voice said.
It didn't sound like Sally.
My eyes open and I see a woman looking down as a towel, but then she turned and I froze.
Her pale beautiful face was covered in stitches, and her left eye was replaced by an actual clock.
I screamed a bit before her hand clamped over mine.
"Shush!!" she snapped. "Quiet, or you'll piss off the boss!!"
I was quiet as tears streamed down my face and I nodded.
"Good," she said, removing her hand and then reaching next to her and pulling out a wet towel, placing it on my head.
"W-Who are you?" I mumbled.
"Clockwork, but I'm also known as Natalie," she said. "You had it bad before Jeff got you didn't you?"
I was a bit lost for some reason. "What?"
You don't remember much, do you?" she asked.
I tried to think.
"Jeff saw you and some guy and you seemed hurt, so he took care of him and bought you here," Natalie explained.
I then gasped.
"What do you mean he... took care of him?" I asked.
"Jeff killed him," Natalie said. "Which is actually a good kill."
I froze. Tyler's dead?!
My thoughts were interrupted by Natalie grabbing my bandaged arm.
"What you doing?!" I asked, snatching my arm.
"Changing your bandages. You got some nasty cuts and highly doubt you want them infected," she snapped.
"No, pl-"
"I already seen them. I'm not judging you, but you're not my problem at the moment. I'm only helping Jeff," she said.
"Who's this Jeff guy?" I asked.
"You'll know soon enough," she said.
She outs medicine and new bandages on my cuts before cleaning up a nearby first aid kit.
"At least your fever is going down," she said. "Take some water. It'll help cool you down."
She then hands me a cold water bottle, which I meekly take.
"Bye," she said and just like that, she left me alone.
Why did this Jeff guy just kill Tyler? I mean, I'm glad, but why bring me here after doing so? What does he want with me?
