Chapter 46：DIANA: I Must Live!

"Amy, when are you going to end this?" I ask through labored breathing, peering at the demented nurse through my swollen eyes.

"Ah, don't be impatient now, Diana." Amy chuckles while inspecting her nails. "Don't you know how long I've waited for this time to come? Six years! Six years I've endured watching Graysen's disgusting expression like a lovesick puppy whenever your name is being mentioned!"

"So then what are you waiting for? Just do your revenge on me now so we can get done with it! I'm not begging for my life! Even if I die, Graysen will never love you!"

"Stupid bitch!" Amy roars furiously before hitting me with the pipe again.

Ah! If this keeps going, I'll definitely get concussion and might even cause me brain injury. Shit! My vision is getting blurry now. If I faint, I don't know if I'll be able to wake up again. I'm starting to feel the symptoms from being hit multiple times in the head.

"I want to enjoy this moment, bitch! So don't hustle me! I don't really get why Graysen likes you a lot. I mean, look at you. You're just plain and not even that beautiful. You don't even have a career to be worthy to stand beside Graysen!"

"That's where youre wrong." I sneer, pissing her more even though I know it'll be dangerous for me. "I'm not plain! Honestly... (heaves)... I'm wild in bed and Graysen really, really likes to fuck me... (huff)... And I'm more than worthy to stand beside Graysen. You see, aside from my... (huff)... family's mansion and vine... (heaves)... vineyard I also... Also have a shipping line... Diana... My own coffee shop, apparel and book book store (breathing heavily)."

Damn it! I'm losing focus. I'm going to die and I haven't told Graysen I love him. Fuck this bitch! I don't want my life to end this way. Not now that I've finally found something, someone to call my own. To be my home.

Graysen! Graysen, my love! I love you so much. Please come and get me!

I shut my eyes tight, heaving more strength from my body before tugging at my binds. The damn rope finally snaps by the constant rub of the small knife I managed to get from the table earlier. This abandoned warehouse must've seen one too many deaths with all the dried blood scattered on the floor and the rusted weapons on the tin table at the corner.

This bitch, what the hell has she entered? Is she a murderer? A member of a cult? Why does she know such creepy place? And why does she act as if she's done this more than once? She doesn't even flinch while torturing me. The sick fuck hides beneath her pleasant and clean nurse uniform when she's a murderer at night. Psycho bitch!

Amy readies her weapon and swings it to my head once again. But I quickly dodge, ignoring the buzzing in my ears and the dizziness I feel at my sudden move. I hurl the rusted knife forward, digging it at the base of her throat which I know is fatal enough to end her life.

We're both nurses after all, so we both know which part of the human body can easily kill a person. I pull the knife out so she bleeds to death before pushing her off. We both tumbles down the floor on our backs. I start crawling away from Amy's gargling ass.

She can't scream since the pressure will only make her bleed even more. I crawl faster even though in reality I'm moving like a snail. No matter what, I must leave this place. I must find Graysen. I must live! I reach for the door with my trembling hands and blurry vision.

So close! I'm almost there! Ah shit! I'm going to faint! No! No! Don't die you, idiot! You can't die! My hands drop to the ground and so are my eyes as they shut before I'm sucked into the darkness of the unending abyss.
