An Episode?!!

***

What the???!!!!

Shui Yi moved from one edge of the room to other gathering her belongings as she dressed up, she rushed out.

That night she drove to the location Xiao Zhou's at. Unware of the peril that was to occur.

*****

Shui Yi found herself standing infront of the Pub;Xiao Zhou's location, the vibrant colourful lights shinning glittered at her eyes, she stared at the place her legs shivered as she took a step forward, she took her step back. Her eyes filled in terror You got this she told herself taking a step forward she walked into that dreadful place that triggers her an episode. Shui Yi has never been to a pub, all her life; it was one of many places her condition forbid from going. Trembling legs and hands did not prevent her from going in, she trembled more as she entered into that place full of individuals clubbing, her gaze caught on the neon lights, she shook her head forcefully as she took more steps forward. Her legs lost balance, she leaned onto the wall by her side, her breath heavier and her sight blurred. She pushed herself forward, as she walked she felt a slight touch on her finger. Her breath got heavier, her legs paralyzed, she took a glance back, an blurred sight of a man hovering as he walked.

Damn! That man!

Her eyes wandered around and finally placed at the distant man lying defeated on the counter.

|Thud |

The man got up looked back and fell back on the counter.

Shui Yi struggles her legs sore, she fell down on her knees. At a scene where a person could go unnoticed; assumed to be drunk. She pushed back for support at the wall. She gathered the little strength,by her hands she took out her mobile, pressed the emergency dail.Now it's time for her to await death.

|Shui Yi hyperventilating |

She closed her eyes giving in to that night as she struggled to breath.That Night from eight years ago, which keeps haunting her to this day. Her concisious fading by time she left to that night.

What's this?

Shui Yi can't move an inch of her body, the feeling of hands clogged to tie together by some steel chains, her body lying, the smell of rust and alcohol, noises from afar. And boths legs tied to opposite ends, which felt like being pulled,her body, apart tightly.

Where am I? Exactly?

"How dare?! You little?!!" said a man's voice.

"Let's give the most painful death!"

"Boss let me deal her" said other man's voice.

"Ah" Shui Yi shouted in response to the kick from the man.

"Torture her to death" said the so called Boss.

A couple of kicks were showered on Shui Yi continuously by a couple individuals.Her body can handle them since she is a trained karate black belt. But she can't last longer.

As they threw kicks at shui yi "This is what you get for insulting our boss" said another man's voice.

I didn't finish these guys?!

Shui Yi is aware that she sometimes gets involved with thugs. Her fighting skills would have normally frightened them, but they came to get revenge. Well that explains why she was tied. If not they don't stand a chance against Shui Yi even though they have numbers.

What a blunder?

But I didn't get involved with any recently?!!

Shui Yi's thoughts wandered as she took their kicks lying on the floor. She did not get into fights for eight whole years, since that night. She did not make any contact with men; even with her own family members.

Then Who are these people?

Shui Yi's legs and hands went sore, paralyzed she took more kicks, she can feel her body no more; as they continued to kick. Her body went numb.

What's happening?!

Shui Yi is yet to know that her mind left to that night, in her occuring PTSD episode, she experiences a flash back.

|Tear|

What are they up to ? Now?

Something heavy and warm was placed on Shui Yi, a cold breeze swept on her hands as the sleeve was torn.

"What are you doing?" a fimiliar woman's voice stressed entering the scene.

This voice?! This accent?!

"We were going play with her " a voice came from above her.

"You can't play with her??" The woman yelled.

Just like my Nightmares

The Boss intervened and said " That won't do!" He continued "We have little score to settle with the lady here!!"

This is my trauma?!!!!

Shui Yi realised that this was all in her episode. For every episode she had experienced she has flash backs which are surreal. It is so real, such that, even though it is all in her mind, its as if she is physically experiencing it herself once again.

"No!!" She shouted "I'll pay you double the amount"

You were the one

"We have a deal mam!" The man brusted into laughter.

The weight on Shui Yi was moved away.

This can't traumatize me

"As soon as I leave! Kill her!!" Those words filled with years of grudge.

A chill ran down Shui Yi's spine.

The person behind that horrible night eight years ago is this woman, who saw Shui Yi grow up, with whom she played as a child. Her trauma, her suffering was all caused by one person's grudge, Her Aunt Xia caused all this.

Shui Yi is mentally strong. Just this kidnap with a motive to kill her can not defeat her.

There's more..There must be.

Her self awareness is peak, and she is correct this wasn't the reason for her trauma at all.

After her episode Shui Yi wakes up forgetting everything that she experienced. She had multiple episodes through the eight years of PTSD. But for every episode she discovers the truth about that incident afresh.

|Steps approaching|

Suddenly her breath trembled, darkness overwhelming, caused by suffocation.

Oh! I forgot!!

During her episodes Shui Yi struggles to breath. Hence during these times she is kept on ventilators.

My timing's terrible

And ofcourse this time too she needs ventilation. Which if she does not get them on time, leads to death.

On the brink of death, with the grim reaper on her door's foot step Shui Yi survived for eight years.

Is this the end!!

Now her breathing finally stopped.

|Gasp|
