I'm gonna skip to the hospital. Because I can. (;

------------------




Paramedics came, along with police and other law enforcements. Almost immediately reporters had heard the calls on their radios. They descended upon the scene in record timing, snapping pictures as the model was strapped onto a board and rushed into the ambulance. She was in critical condition, already into a coma from the delay of help.



Now she was hooked onto a breathing machine, her body covered with IVs and wires to monitor her condition. With her face cleaned up, the wound didn't look like much. It was just a cut above the eye with a few stitches and a black eye, but inside her brain had swelled. Doctors didn't know how long the coma would last, but they did expect her to recover.

Josana stood in his office, sipping a whiskey and staring out at the forest with a blank look. The look of life in his eyes was gone, replaced by a blank stare and haunted expression. I... I killed her... Wh..Why?

He didn't move as his butler stepped in. "My lord?" The man said with a stiff upper-class British accent, "Miss Anna Hunsaida has been discovered sir." The butler jolted as the glass slipped from Josana's hands and smashed.

Once stable, they took the breathing tube out, leaving a dry feeling in her throat. For what ever reason the uncomfortable motion jolted her back into reality. She had to blink her eyes a few times to bring the room into focus. Beeps and flickering lights were around her, as well as nurses dressed in scrubs.


"Where...?" Anna tried sitting up but a nurse pushed her back down softly.

"Mrs. Hunsaida, you have to stay still for now, okay?"

Anna narrowed her eyes slightly and laid back again. Tears started to swell up in her eyes from the pain, "I hurt."

"I know, Mrs. Hunsaida, we can't give you any more pain medication for another half hour. Only every 3 hours."

The model turned her head in despair. She couldn't remember what exactly happened, but she did recall her husband... hitting her? No, that can't be right; he had never gotten physical before. Thinking of him brought a pang of fear through out her, but why? She had never been afraid of anyone before.

Josana moved away from the glass slowly. "I see. Thank you."

"Shall I bring the car around, sir?" The butler asked with a ever so slightly raised eyebrow. The masters mood was terribly strange.

"No. Thank you. I shall need a while to compose myself." He grinned weakly at the elderly gentleman. "Lords aren't meant to show emotion, remember?"

"Indeed, sir... Then I shall see to other arrangements." The butler left with a bow.

As the door shut, Hunsadia sat slowly down. His eyes closed tight. "Ah..."

Anna rolled over in her bed, moaning. One eye was red from crying, the other swollen and purple. She looked around the room and finally settled to reach out and push a button on the side of her bed to call a nurse. A red light went on, but she continued to press it until a nurse came rushing in.

"Yes, Mrs. Hunsaida?"
"I... I don't know what I want. Where's my husband?"

The nurse frowned slightly. "I don't know, we called him hours ago, he hasn't arrived yet."

Again Anna moaned and rolled over to her other side. Just as she did so two detectives wanted into the room and took out their note pads to start asking questions. All Anna did was insist she couldn't remember anything.

(Where are your snails?!)

A short while later, Josana entered the hospital. His appearance was as unkempt as he could make it. His eyes were dark from 'lack of sleep', and his chin stubble covered. His feet were uncertain as he swayed. Under his tongue, a small drug lay that would, when he swallowed it, make him pass out. Pushing into his wifes room, he made a point of staring blankly a moment as if stress had wiped his mind to normal things. "A..A...Anna?"

( What snails? )

The model lifted her head slightly to look at her husband. She had just finished talking to the police who managed to jog her memory. Just before passing out she could remember fighting with Josana.

Seeing her husband gave her an unmistakable feeling of fear. The police watched carefully, raising an eyebrow at the reaction. Their suspicions had already been raised.

"Go away," she hissed. "You think you can walk in here days later and pretend to care?! You don't care, get out of here."

(They're back :D)


Josana blinked slightly, glancing around as if confused. "What do you mean?" He asked uncertainly, voice wavering quite convincingly towards tears.

( o.O )

Anna was sitting up by now, even if it made her head spin.
"I said out! Out!"

He obviously wasn't moving fast enough because she started to turn her frustration onto herself. Her bony fingers started to grab at her IVs and pull them out.

"FINE! If he won't go then I'll go! I don't want him near me!"

Anna was so determined and fast that she was able to leap out of the bed with two bleeding hands. She didn't realize she also had wires glued onto her skin to monitor her heart, and when she tried stumbling out the machine jolted off its shelf while the sticky pads ripped off her skin. It was an upsetting scene.

Josana stepped back swiftly at the scene. The Police officer turned to the lord, ushering him out. "I'm sorry about that, sir," The young police officer appologised, "She must just be stressed by the gunmen."

The nurses again forced her to lay down again. This time they strapped her arms to the bed's rails so she couldn't rip out her IVs again. Instead of pain medications they started to inject her with a light sedative.

By this time she was crying again. First she was attacked by... someone, someone she couldn't even remember, and now she was being tied down and held captive at a cold hospital? This wasn't how the rich and famous were suppose to live.

Lord Hunsadia sat outside on a chair, weeping at the reaction. A nurse patted his arm uncertainly, unnerved by the glowering guards.

After she had calmed down, Anna looked around the room, still crying. She lifted her head up slightly, but only slightly. The sedatives made her muscles feel like jello. Even if she still wanted to run she couldn't even stand.

"Actually, no. No, I have my husband, bring him in here. Please? I want my husband..."

Lord Josana Hunsadia blinked as he recieved the summons from Anna. He entered the room swiftly. He looked hopefully at the female.
