Page 47 of Mika's Heart

I must have passed out again as I jump awake from the door slamming open against the wall.

“This will all be over soon and everything can go back to the way it was.” Gerald says, stomping his way into the room.

“You are delusional.” My words slur out of my mouth.

“Shut up!” He screams, slamming his fist into the side of my head opening up my wound once again. “Ugh.” He says, shaking my blood from his hand.

My eyes roll and I fight to not lose consciousness again.

I watch as he moves around the room, grabbing supplies from a bag. He pours some kind of liquid on a rag before sticking it into his pocket.

“If you take her, I’ll never stop hunting you down.” I whisper, drawing his eyes to me.

“You’ll never see her again. Once I have her secure, you are going to disappear. They’ll never find you.”

That’s when I notice the small gun at his waist. He plans to kill me and anyone else who tries to keep Mika away from him.

We both hear a car approaching at the same time. His face lights up with an evil smile as he stomps back out the door, slamming it shut behind him.

I start struggling with my bonds as hard as I can. My head is swimming furiously. The chair that I’m in falls over, jarring my entire body. Black spots swimming across my eyes.

Unable to stop myself, I pass out once again just as I hear a scream.
