MIRAGE 'N' MANIA MIRAGE-1

Sariah's POV

Blood was smeared all over the room, The walls were painted red and the only person who was alive there was him, An insanely tall well-built man holding a dagger in one hand and a gun in another hand.

I was so frightened to see this whole scene that I unconsciously dropped my stethoscope from my grip and this silly mistake I knew was about to cost me my life. I immediately started to run when I saw him turning back exactly in the direction where I was secretly peaking at him, He already knew my presence and as I was running to save my life I heard loud running footsteps approaching me. My breath was all out already and seeing him too close to catching me I gave my all so that I could escape this deathly night.

But, I FAILED!

He grabbed my arm like a hungry lion and within a second I was lying on the ground. I was terrified but still, I managed to look up at him while keeping my hands up just to play safe as he loaded his gun and aimed at me.

My eyes met his keen bloody eyes which was the only thing I could see from his well-covered face was all focused on me and waiting to see me dead. He brought his gun closer to my forehead and my strong-willed self shattered within a blink.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

I... I.. Didn't do anything wrong... Why do you have to kill me? (asks in a stuttering tone)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

I never did wrong to anyone...Who are you? (cries out slowly)

He didn't even reply to me but after hearing my questions I saw his finger slowly making its way toward the trigger which made my heart beat die and I felt my vision getting blurry.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

Don't kill me..... (whispers before blacking out)

Sariah's POV Ends

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

(squats down on the ground while putting his gun back)

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

(observes her body from head to toe)

He noticed her ID card, and he immediately picked it up.

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

SARIAH! (speaks her name in his deep tone to himself after reading it from her ID card)

Eʟɪsᴇᴏ Dᴇ Lᴇᴏɴ

A Surgeon, but still so fragile. (whispers to himself while keeping her ID card to himself)

He stood up and after taking another glance at her he left the place leaving her in the same position.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

(opens her eyes and wakes up frightenedly)

She looked everywhere while taking heavy breaths as she didn't understand how she was on the hospital bed not dead.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

(tries to remember everything)

Marylin(Nurse)

Doctor Sariah, Are you all right?

Sariah comes out of her deep thinking when she hears the nurse calling her.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

How did I end up here?

Marylin(Nurse)

You were found unconscious on the fourth floor of the surgery block, so the management admitted you. Are you alright? Why did you go to that floor at night?

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

* So whatever I saw yesterday wasn't a dream. *

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

I... I had a late night surgery to do, and you know I forget to eat sometimes so maybe that's why I passed out.

Marylin(Nurse)

You should take care of your health as well not only others.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

Well, I think I should go home and come to work later. I don't have any surgery to do today as well, so I will come tomorrow, but you can call me if there is an emergency. (tells her while wearing her shoes)

Marylin(Nurse)

Okay, Doctor.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

* If whatever I saw last night was true there must be blood in that OT, I should go and check *

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

I'm leaving now. (says while walking out of the personal cabin)

Sariah left her cabin and went to see the surgery block's OT where she saw that man killing a group of people mercilessly.

When she reached the same location she found nothing. Even the blood-stained walls were white and everything was like nothing happened last night which confused her as she knew she hadn't dreamed last night but how there was no evidence?!

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

* just wait, and watch Mr killer, let me reach home and tell the security department to give me the footage of the fourth floor and you're done. *

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

* I won't let that man who was here roam freely, I'll catch him and give him to the police. *

While she was trying to figure out the scene she didn't know she was being watched.

Sariah left the hospital in her car but her mind was struck by who he was. Why did he kill so many people? And how was everything so clean in the morning?

Man-1

Sir, She came to check the fourth floor and she even asked for the CCTV footage.

(smirks) Don't worry about her because she won't find anything.

But if she keeps nagging, she will be killed soon.

At Sariah's apartment

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

(closes the laptop disappointingly)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

So Mr killer already figured it out... He deleted the footage, and he even covered up the whole scene.

While she was disappointingly grabbing her head, She got a call from the hospital, so she had to rush back.

She reached the hospital but this time she faced another problem.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

Damn where is my ID card... (says while searching it inside her bag)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

It's not here.... (exhales frustratingly)

Sariah tries to negotiate with security, but he doesn't let her go.

Security:- Mam sorry I can't let you enter without your ID card.

Michelle De Leon

Let her enter. (says in an authoritative tone)

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

(turns back) Chairman Sir (bows respectfully)

Michelle De Leon

She's one of the best doctors in this hospital so let her go without an ID card.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

Thank you so much, sir. (says in a grateful tone)

Sariah left immediately while Michelle kept smirking at her from the back.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

What's the matter? Why did you call me so fast?

Marylin(Nurse)

A man got into an accident and there as per the case, a surgeon is needed, so Doctor Jordan wants you to go there with the rescue team.

Sᴀʀɪᴀʜ Vᴀsɪʟɪᴏs

Fine, Where is the medical team's car?

Marylin(Nurse)

It's already waiting outside.

Sariah sat inside the car and left for the location, but she was unaware of what was waiting for her there.
