“Eve! Liz! Are you two in there?!” A male voice shouted through the bedroom door to Eve’s room.

Normally you could find sixteen-year-old Eve and her twelve-year-old sister Liz in her room listening to some jazz music when her parents were away, and this time was no exception.

“Eve! Liz! Open up!” The male shouted through the door once more. From inside you could here the radio being turned down and foot steps running around through the room as well. After about five minutes the door was finally opened.

The male walked into the room and found who he was looking for. To him, there was no girl in his eyes who was more beautiful than his sister Eve. The way she had her hair in curls and how they framed her face was simply breath taking.

“What do you want Pierce?” Eve asked her older brother as she turned her back to him.

“I just want to talk to you, is that too much to ask little sis?” Pierce asked her.

No it wasn’t anything wrong with brothers talking to their sisters, but it was something wrong when your brother looks at you in the way he is supposed to look at his girlfriend. The look that Pierce was giving Eve made the hair on the back of her neck stand up straight. She didn’t like it when Pierce looked at her like that, it was just too creepy for words.

“Ok. Let me hear it.” Eve said.

“Liz, could you excuse us for a minute please?” Pierce asked their sister.

“Sure. I’ll be in the living room Eve if you need me.” Liz said as she left them to talk closing the door behind her.

“Pierce…” She said but never got the chance to finish, as Pierce came up behind her and pulled her close to his body. And what she felt nearly killed her on site.

Pierce held her close to his body as he worked his right hand up her side and grabbed hold of her right breast, while his left hand held her left arm to her side. Eve was so terrified with fear that she couldn’t move. He lowered his mouth down to the right side of her face. His breath on her ear, made Eve’s hair on the back of her neck stand even taller if that was possible. Somehow with whatever strength she found deep inside of her, she pushed herself away from his body, turned around and slapped the taste out of his mouth.

“What the hell is wrong with you Pierce?! You have no right to touch me like that, you sick bastard!” Eve yelled at him. Now he had really crossed the line and Eve didn’t like that one bit.

“You know you liked it Eve. Besides how am I sick when you and I aren’t even related?” Pierce asked her while rubbing the right side of his face.

“But we were raised together whether you like it or not, I considered you my older brother. Liz is our sister!” She shouted at him. “If you ever, and I mean ever touch me like that again, I’ll tell my mother. I swear it.” Eve spat at him with venom in her voice.

“Have it your way Eve, but one day I will have you.” Pierce smiled evilly at her as he opened her bedroom door and walked out.

{Flashback Ends}

Eve’s monitors were going haywire, as Julian was about to ask T.C. what Eve’s “brother” name was. The site of her monitors going crazy almost scared Julian to death. As Julian turned back towards Eve, her monitors suddenly calmed down and went back to normal. Julian was about to call for help when he looked down at her, and saw her eyes open for the first time in three months.

“Eve…” Julian called out to her.

For Eve’s part, she opened and closed her eyes for a moment as she wondered to herself ‘Where the hell am I?’ She slowly looked around to see if she could recognize anyone or anything. She tried to move a little bit, but when she did she winced in pain. ‘Ow! Ok, that hurts. I can’t move. What happened?’ Eve thought to herself. She was so deep in thought that she didn’t hear the person next to her call out her name.

“Eve…” Julian called to her again.

Turning her head towards where that voice came from, what she saw made tears start to fall from her eyes.

“Julian…” Eve said softly as a small smile appeared on her face.

“Yes darling. How are you feeling?” Julian asked her completely ignoring the other two people in the room with them, as he leaned down and kissed her on the top of her head.

“Like I was hit by a car… Oh Julian, what happened to me?” Eve asked.

“Darling, you don’t remember what happened?” Julian asked her with a concerned look on his face.

“No I don’t. Julian, I just…I just want to know what happened and how I got here?”

“Are you sure Eve?” Julian asked her with caution.

“Yes.” Eve said. She looked at Julian and wondered why he was hesitating. Julian took a deep breath, then proceeded to tell her what happened to her the day of her accident.

When he was done telling her what had happened that day, he looked down at her face. Eve’s mind was reeling from the all of the things that Julian had told her. Finally after being quiet for about five minutes, Eve looked up at Julian before speaking again.

“No wonder you didn’t laugh at my joke when I said it felt like a got hit by a car. How long have I been in the hospital?”

Julian was about to answer her question, when Whitney finally decided it was time for her mother to see her. She had had enough of Julian hogging her mother in her opinion.

“You’ve been here in a coma for three months mom.” Whitney said as she walked up to the other side of Eve’s bed.

“Whitney… And what do you mean three months?!” Eve looked over to where she heard her daughter. The look Eve gave Whitney, one would think that Whitney grew a second head or something.

“Mom calm down please.”

“How can I calm down when I find out I’ve been out of it for three months!”

“Eve calm down and maybe we can better answer your questions.” Julian said as he placed on of his hand on her left hand.

“Get your hands off my wife you bastard!” T.C. shouted at Julian.

‘T.C.?! What is he doing here? Didn’t he say he didn’t want me anymore?’ Eve thought to herself as the people around her continued to argue.

With Julian, T.C., and Whitney shouting so loud and the noise seeping through the cracks of the door into the hallway, a doctor from the hall rushed into Eve’s room to see what the heck was going on. The female doctor was trying to get them quiet, but each and every time she was cut off. Finally, she had had enough of the noise.

“Everyone QUIET!!!” She shouted out loud over the four in the room. “What is going in here? I have a patient in here who has been co..ma..tose… Dr. Russell?” The female doctor stated as she looked at a wide-awake Eve.

“Yes Dr. Teague, I’m awake. I was just asking everyone what happened to me and things just sort of got out of hand.” Eve said while placing a hand on one of her temples to try and release some of the tension she was feeling right now.

“Dr. Russell, you and I both know that it is not wise to have so much stress put on a person who has just come out of a coma. What you need is more rest now. So everyone out of here right, let’s go.” Dr. Teague stated to everyone in the room to follow her out.

“Janice wait.” Eve said.

“Everyone out in the hall, I want to speak to you when I’m finish with my patient.” She told them all.

Dr. Teague then turned back to Eve and went over to sit in one of the chairs next to her bed.

“Eve what is going on?” Janice asked quite bluntly.

“Nothing. How am I doing? I was so busy wanting to know how I got here and never once asked what kind of injuries I suffered.” Eve told her.

“Ok. First, when you came in here three months ago, you had numerous cuts and bruises all over face and body. You suffered some swelling in the upper part of your brain, your left arm was broken in three places, your right leg was broken also and you had some internal bleeding.”

“Oh my god! I’m lucky to be alive right now.” Eve said more to herself then to Janice.

“Yes, you are. So Eve, how are you feeling? Any soreness, dizziness, numbness?” Janice asked Eve as she started taking notes.

“I feel fine and no. I just want to know when I can leave.” Eve said to Janice.

“Eve…” Janice started but got the chance to finish because Eve cut her off.

“I know. I was just asking.” Eve said in a whining tone.

“Can you move both of your arms and legs?” Janice asked Eve another question as she observed her.

For a second, Eve couldn’t feel anything below her waist. She was about ready to panic, but then all of a sudden she felt both of her legs and very slowly moved them. It was difficult, but she did it and when it was over, she released the deep breath that she had no idea she was even holding.

“Eve, are you ok?” Janice asked Eve with concern written all over her face. Looking at Eve struggle to move, made her think it wasn’t a good idea to try to push her this soon.

“I’m fine really.” Eve said as a small smile appeared on her face.

“You sure?” Janice asked her again not totally convinced Eve was telling her the truth.

“Yes. Now if we’re finished I’d like to see my daughter please.”

“Well Eve, I’m impressed with the little things that you did and if there is anything else…” Janice trailed off.

“No that’s all.”

“Ok, I’ll see you later then.” Janice smiled at Eve as she opened the door and went into the hallway. When she was completely out of the room, she confronted Julian, Whitney and T.C.

“Now I know the three of you must be excited that Eve is awake and appears to look healthy. But she is not out of the woods yet.”

“What do you mean Dr. Teague?” Julian asked.

“She doesn’t have to tell you anything bastard! Whitney and I are responsible for MY wife’s well being not you. So get lost before I break your face.” T.C. threatened Julian.

“I’m not leaving her to the likes of you, you idiot! I love her and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that she is being taken care of. Besides, when did she become your wife again after the way you treated her and the awful things you said to her?” Julian spat back at T.C.

“Gentlemen please, Eve doesn’t need the stress. Anyways, she appears alert and responsive. She can also move her arms and legs. If she continues to improve as the days go by, I think she might be able to leave in a matter of two weeks.” Janice stated to them all.

“Oh, by the way, Whitney your mother would like to see you.” Janice told Whitney before she went to go finish up some work.

Five hours had passed since Eve had spoken to Whitney, Julian and T.C. She was now sleeping softly in her bed, her chest slowly rising up and down. She looked so peaceful and calm, like a person who didn’t have a worry in the world. As Eve slept, her room door slowly opened and a dark figure stepped towards her as the door closed softly. The figure appeared to the left side of Eve’s bed and sat down in the chair, never once taking their eyes off of her. The way this person was looking at Eve, would’ve gave any one in the close vicinity a sudden chill down their spine.

The figure slowly moved closer to Eve’s face, carefully inch by inch, so not to suddenly wake her. As their mouth hovered closely over Eve’s lips, they took their time and said in a faint whisper “I will still have you Eve.” But instead of kissing her on her lips, moved to her left side and kissed her on her cheek. With that did, the figure slowly left out of her room and disappeared down the hall.
