Without even thinking, knowing at the back of my mind that it was the stupidest thing to do, I ran up to the ICU and pulled open the door. I was immediately suffocated by the smell of medicines. Once that overpowering sensation wore off, I took in the scene in front of me. The duty nurse was gagged and bound to her chair. Her scared eyes were darting here and there. My father was sleeping peacefully, unaware of the person who was all dressed in black in front of him, as quiet as a shadow.
"Dad!" I screamed without thinking and the person turned towards me, a huge knife in his hand. Before I knew it, he or she was on top of me, pinning me to the ground.
"You are a meddlesome idiot, you know that?"
It was a man's voice - hoarse and threatening. He raised the knife and as he did I saw something red glimmer on his wrist. There was a sudden burst of pain in the region of my stomach and the smell of blood. Through the white mask he was wearing, I saw his eyes. They were angry almost maniacal.
"Amy...Amy...Amy..." The voice said. "You and you little gang couldn't keep your noses out of this, could you?"
"HELP!" I yelled. Again there was pain. This time somewhere in region of my chest. It occurred to me that I was going to die. But the fact seemed so inconsequential now. 577Please respect copyright.PENANA3bSCycYMc9
"HELP!" I yelled again. "Someone is trying to kill Dad!"577Please respect copyright.PENANAqLP07RJgd8
"And I will kill him!" The man laughed. "Do you want to know why?"
The answer came to me quickly. "He knows who you are."
"That's right."
That was the last thing I remembered before he stabbed me again and again and everything went black.
