211: She Can't Be Dead!

"I am sorry!" She concluded.

I couldn't understand what was happening, she didn't want me touching any part of her, not even her hands. Behind her, the earth was being swallowed.

She was not looking behind, instead, she kept walking back quickly and let the sand swallow her alive without care. 

"Daniella! Daniella!" I shouted as I run towards the hole but there was nothing, the whole place was covered and there was nothing like sand or anything being swallowed. 

I run following the wall but then I came to the same place. Tired, helpless and I couldn't catch my breath very well.

Moving from the wall, I turned back and saw a glass of water on top of a table.

"Why do everything I keep thinking of appearing?" I asked myself as I looked at the glass of water. 

Walking towards it to get the water, a figure appeared and snatched the glass before I could reach for it.

"Please, I need just a drop of water for my throat," I cried to the person but whoever he or she was they were not listening to me.

The person turned around and he was a man, the familiar features told me that this was not going to be good, Vin was there with the glass of water, throwing me an evil grin as he shook the water vigorously pouring some of it on the ground.

"Please don't do this Vin, I need the water," I begged as I tried to crawl towards him. 

He was not even listening to my plea, instead, he was lifting the water higher and higher. My strength was wearing out and I couldn't even stand as I felt my body give up on me. 

I tried lifting my hand to grab the glass but he stepped on my back and dropped me down again, and someone dragged me back so that I was far from him.

I knew this was the end for me if I can't get that bottle of water in my hands. I had to crawl back in my stomach to get it, just a drop and I will be okay. 

Gathering my courage, I saw Daniella appear in front of Vin. 

There was something odd about her. Her belly had grown and, wait is she pregnant? We have just seen each other some minutes ago and now her belly is all grown?

She was wearing a white sleeping gown, she looked at Vin with sad eyes and all Vin could do was pull her closer and put the glass of water forcefully inside her mouth. 

"I don't want it, I don't want the water, I am okay," protested Daniella as she tried to hit Vin's hand that was now on her cheeks force his hands closer to her mouth.

"Davids, Davids, you need to get her, Davids!" I heard someone shouting! 

Looking back, Emma was there looking at me, in a blood-stained cloth. She was also crawling trying to reach Daniella but I was way in front of her. Her breathing was shallow but she was using all her strength to signal me so that I can save Daniella.

How cones she can see me and feel me but other people couldn't see me?

"I can't touch her, it's like a shadow and it's not real, so it will be useless," I told her slowly saving my strength to get the glass of water.

"Stop being stupid and save Daniella, she is pregnant and it's either she will lose the child and die also, just save her Davids," shouted Emma.

Why is she shouting at me, I am not concerned and their pregnancy is none of my concern, they had already accused me and thrown me out of their life, I don't see the need to go there and kill myself trying to save them. I am also trying to survive here.

"I know Daniella accused you of something bad Davids, but tell me that deep inside your heart you don't feel something for her. Tell me you don't want to ask her whether you did it and if she saw you doing it? Tell me, Davids!"

"That's none of my business Miss Emma, I am out of her life. I don't want to touch a woman and then be accused of another rape, I am okay this way," I told her, trying to breathe because the oxygen around this pace was fading. And from the West, the darkness was coming fast, something that had never happened.

The darkness starts from the East and not vice vasa. 

"You know, Daniella is the little egg that I had been trying to protect, from strangers from everyone so that she can hatch and grow very well. All her life I was not able to give her everything she needed as my... M—"

I tried to look over at Emma and she was not speaking, "Emma, Emma, what were you saying, why we're you using 'my,' what was Daniella to you?" 

I tried asking her but she was trying to lift her hands as she signalled for me to save Daniella who was now trying to fight with her might to throw Vin away.

I looked at Emma who was now trying to talk but she couldn't say anything.

Looking in front of me and thought of Emma's word. She was right, I had something for Daniella and maybe I can try and save her even if she did me wrong. There is no need to repay your enemy with war.

I tried my best to crawl with my stomach, though on my side, oxygen was not much, if I move forward, I would try and get some oxygen for my lungs and it will help.

Behind me, darkness had already swallowed Emma, and it was roaring faster towards me.

I struggled with all my might and reached Daniella. I was surprised to see another glass of water on the table and there was one that Vin was holding in Daniella's mouth.

I had to choose what to do. I need to survive inside here, so it's either I am going to drink water or I will have to use my remaining strength to push Vin and save the girl I once loved out of this whole mess.

The water was inviting and every time I looked at it, I felt thirstier and wanted to gulp the whole glass plus eat the glass without care as if it will quench my thirst.

Looking at the two, Daniella already had blood on her satin nightdress, I didn't know what the blood was all about but when Vin tried to push the glass of water inside her mouth, the blood became more and more but it was not dripping in the ground. 

Maybe he is trying to force Daniella to have an abortion. And there is no water in the glass, but an overdosed drug that instant to kill Daniella and her babies. She wanted babies and her main reason was to protect them. 

I am neither going to take that from her nor am I going to let Vin take that away from her. 

He had made her suffer enough and maybe it was time he feels the wrath of the world and the pain and Daniella be happy.

**********

"Doctor, she is not breathing," said the nurse.

The doctor had been doing some first aid on Davids' body for a very long time and she was there lying hopelessly. Her body was just warm, but she was not moving, the blood from her veins were just pouring out. The clothes were not helping. 

"No, she can't be dead, she can't be dead!" Cried the doctor as she looked at the body of Daniella on top of the operating table.

The whole blood she had lost during the process, they were forced to add her more blood as they tried to save her. 

"We don't have otherwise Doctor, we need to doctor her time of death and the cause," said the nurse as the looked at the clock.

"No, she is not dead, she is not dead!" Shouted the doctor in charge. 

Everyone at the table was shocked by the way she was behaving. They had known her but not for once had they seen her cry over a patient who died on the operating table. Though sometimes it's frustrating for the doctors they usually try and get over it.

Today, this was different for all of them.

She ordered everyone out of the room and asked to be left alone with the body.

Everyone walked out and she was left all alone. 

Vicky looked at the body of her daughter, she didn't know if she has been out of practice for a long time and she had forgotten about her practice but once in a while, she had tried to work hard and save people during the charity events that she attended.

She looked at Davids and all she could think of is why she had to be in this place today, she just saw her links when she was wheeled in the hospital. She needed to check some records during her working days in this hospital and all she walked to was her daughter who had been stabbed from prison and was now laying On the operating table lifeless.

The mask and the headscarf were able to help her disguise herself as another doctor to whom she took her place.

She cried, watching as the blood was spattering out of the clothing that they had placed over her. 

She still could hear her last words, "mama, I don't want it please save me," 

Those are the same words she used to say when she was being given something didn't want when the tried to force her into a lady's dress but all she wanted were men's suits and watches that her father used to wear.

Those were the last words. She wanted to can her husband and inform him about this but she couldn't, she couldn't get that courage. She was sure yet daughter is still 8n there, maybe just asleep and at the end of the night, she will take up and be the lady she has always wanted to be.
