Ep 3

" Safe" Pollina thought to herself touching her lower arm where there were some knife wounds bandaged up; little traces of blood seeping through the bandage.

" Do you know if mom is coming?" Pollina suddenly asked, picking at her nails.

" Pollina...."

" Dad, I don't want her here. At least not right now" Pollina insisted.

"Pollina, I can't stop your mom from coming to visit you" Mr. Dalton responded.

"That's right" A clear smooth voice came from by the door; one that Pollina could never forget. It's her mom walking into the room and standing behind Mr. Dalton.

" Really, stopping you own mother from visiting you?" Mrs. Hemington asked, making fake sniffling sounds as she wiped around her eyes.

Pollina sighed looking away from her knowing full well that she would be the one to start something in a hospital. Suddenly she felt a shiver crawl down her back and looked past her mom at the door leading to the hospital's corridor. There he was, the man, Trevor Greco or at least that is what she believe his name was. He was walking in the corridor. Pollina panicked looking away from the corridor and her body began to tremble.

" What is he doing here? Has he come to finish what he started? I have to hide." Pollina thought to herself before getting up quickly and locking herself in the bathroom. Then the banging came, it was him. " He could just break down the door again. I need to find something to defend myself" Pollina thought to herself looking around the bathroom for anything to use to fend off against him.

Then suddenly the banging stopped and she heard someone ask from on the other side of the door," Pollina, it's me again; Dr. Mayer. Are you alright? What happened?"

" I saw him..... He's here. I..... I can't" Pollina revealed her breathing getting heavier.

" Where did you see him, Pollina? In the corridor?" Dr. Mayer questioned.

"... Yes... he knows I'm here. He was banging against the door again." Pollina answered quickly, her hand clutching her chest tightly. She remembered trying to fend him off. She remembered hitting him with a mop stick and trying to run away, out of the bathroom but he grabbed her arm and pulled her to the ground. She remembered yelling at him to get off of her and thrashing about trying to break free from him who was trying to pin her down. She remembered feeling blood trickling down her arms from the knife wounds she got when he first broke in and see it spilling across the floor under the pressure of his arms pinning it down. She still tried to break free, wiggling around but she soon regretted that decision as he held her hair tightly lifting her head away from the ground before bringing it back down with such force. As the ground got closer and closer her vision faded. The next time she open her eyes, her head felt like it was split opened and she felt something wet flowing down the side of her face as saw he hang up the phone.
