Chapter 5

Dr Macalister’s POV

I was on my way to Zonicas room to check up on her when a nurse ran into me breathing fast like she just ran the marathon.

“She … She is gone I can’t find her” the nurs said with a panic

“O no … Zonica”he said almost in a wisper holding his temples and shacking his head

I walked pass the nurse and head to my office “no need looking for her now i’ll just give her a call then tell her the news or I’ll go and see her but I don’t think that she would be to happy to see me there ,she must have a good reason for dissapear like that . I just hope that she will be ok”.

Walking down the hall looking at Zonica’s file trying to make sence of this new discovery; I turned the corner looking up I saw Zonica standing at the end of the hall she was leaning forward holding her chest and brething heavy ,she stands up staring at a stranger. She seems so weak and fragile it makes me sad seeing her like that and fustrated that I cant do anything to help her because she doesn’t want it.She is one woman that amazing me even in her waekest state she seems to be so strong never showing weakness and not once have I seen her cry ,realy cry.

“Zonica …Zonica wait” I shouted

She turned around and looked at me still holding the wall for support her eyes grew wide as if she realized something.

I was just about half way, when she said that she had to go and ran thru the exit doors.

I ran faster hopefully to find her still outside but she was gone.

With all my frustration I hit the door with my fist and almost screamd when the pain enterd my hand and ran up my arm but I didn’t.

“You must be very dedecated to your patients or that girl means something more to you if you ackt like that” the strainger said half amused.

Not saying anything I turned to face the man now standing just a few feet away from him.

“I don’t know wat ya talking about” I replied walking past the man

“If you say so” the man said looking over his sholder

“O, yes I think this belongs to her” he said quik before I turned the corner to my office I turned around and looked at the man’s outstreatched hand.

In the middle of his palm was a small cold chain with Zonica’s name, the same chain that I have seen her always wear.

“But how…”

“She came running around the corner and ran into me, I think it fell off then because its does not seem to be broken” the man cut me off.

Then the man walked closer to me and handed me the chain I kept looking at it in deep thought , its so fragile just like her I thought to myselfthen rememberd the mam and looked up but he was gone.

I looked around but I still didn’t see him so I went to my office and got Zonica’s addres knowing that she will be looking for the necklase and the news I have for her isnt something I can tell her over the phone.

It didn’t take me long to finde the house, its has somewhat of a Victorian look to it and it’s big and when I say big I mean it; and there is no fencing around; the gras is greener than green and everything just seem to be brighter.

I walked down the little stown pathway to the front door and rang the bell after waiting a few minutes nothing happened so I rang it again and still nothing ,noone came to the door so I decided to have a look thrugh the windows and nothing was sturing in side no movements nothing.

“I wander if she was sleeping or if she went somewere”I thought to myself

But I didn’t like the silence so I went around to the back were I found a small gate; it wasn’t locked so I enterd. first things first I looked to see if thay had dogs so I walked slowly and softly not wanting to make any noice for incase they do when I got around the house I walked to the back door and nocked there but still no answer so I took a look around there was a big pool and a waterfall running into it, it looked amazing and the garden well there is no word to describe it.

With all the beauty this place holds and all the things that droos your attention it's hard to see when something is out of place until you fall over it and that’s just what happened.

I walked pass the garbige cans and fell over something when I looked up what I saw was not wat I expected I was in such chocked that it took me a few mins to regester what was going on.

“Z … Z … Zonica!! O’ My Goodness … Zonica what happened to you?”

Zonica was laying there her body limp, batterd and bruised with her leg tied to a pole

I went closer to feel for a puals and found one very weak but still I was releaved to have found one, she on the other hand was unconscious her breathing slow and soft and her body cold so I picked the lock don’t ask me how its my secret and i carefuly picked her up bridal stile and carried her to my trusty old pickuptruck that I have had for longer than I can remember and drove back to the hospital.
