Pestilence: Bed Ridden Agony (Death Inc)

so i tried to do this a few nights ago and left to join Josh in some antics, but when i returned it had dumped all my stuff into the world of oblivion.

lets try this again.

Pestilence: Bed Ridden Agony

It was the middle of the night. the hospital was as quiet as it could be, but one room in particular was quaking with yelling.

"Move... Move... MOVE!!!" Pestilence pounded at her legs, which had stopped working since she woke up a week ago.

"Move... Move dammit. Your MY legs and i order you to move like i want you to" she struck her legs over and over, they had become riddled with many small bruises. she ceased her attack and threw herself into her pillows. she was overcome with her thoughts. ever since she woke up she had been exhausted, even though she was up and active the day before she ended up in the hospital, and she still doesnt know why or how she got there.

"why havent Mom and Dad come to see me? why dont my legs work? and why wont any of the doctors or nurses tell me anything?" she wanted to cuddle into a ball but she couldnt get her legs in place. she shifted her upper body and looked out the window, at the awkwardly yellow, orange mix. as she looked at it she started to feel sick for some reason. off in the distance she saw the lights of an airplane.

she heard the door to her room open. it mustve been a nurse. someone called for the nurse outside the room.

"yeah what is it?" the nurse asked, chatter came from down the hall made her push the door inwards and close slowly.

"no its nothing i cant do later, im right there" the door closed slowly. Pestilence looked out the door and saw that a newspaper was resting in a wastebasket by the counter of the nurses area.

"i want to see whats happening, i need that newspaper" she threw off her sheets and slowly moved herself off her bed. she was almost off the bed when her legs slipped off and smacked into the cold tile.

"ouch... grr, how stupid of me" she threw the pain to the side, her objective was more important than soothing the pain.

she reached the door and stretched to grab the handle. the door opened just a bit, enough to look like it was still closed. she slowly opened the door and gave herself a sliver of sight. her heart pounded as a nurse walked right past her room. she exhaled in relief and observed her surroundings. it was clear, there was a security camera, but by the time she was spotted she would've gotten what she wanted, she didnt care what they did at that point.

she pushed the door open and dragged herself quickly across the floor. so far so good she reached the wastebasket and pulled the paper out, some of it was soaked in coffee and chewed bubble gum was stuck to it. she looked for the date.

"october second? of two-thousand eight? but its april of oh'six" she read on, looking for anything else that might make sense.

she found an article about a murder case. she started to read it, but just a few lines in she was shocked.

+the bodies of two people were finally found after two years of searching. they have been identified as+

she read on, and the names she saw were of her very own mother and father.

"MOM, DAD, their DEAD!!??" a scream from down the hallway was heard. Pestilence saw a nurse with her hands on her cheeks and a look of shock and fear across her. the nurse summoned more people to help her. Pestilence was almost out of time. she read to learn that two years ago her family was targeted by gangsters who broke in and killed her parents, after that they beat the child and left her burning in the house. by some surprise she made it out alive but was caught in a coma up till now.

Pestilence suddenly felt naucious, she could feel her dinner coming up. she did her best to hold herself up and away from her mess, she was overcome with dizziness and she fell to the floor unconsious and scared.


phew so there it is whether or not this is canon or not is TBD and ill make that decision... later?

First of all, I like it, keep it up. Second, she can't really curl up into a ball if her legs aren't working correctly.
