“No no no no no…” Not that it made a difference, but all Bella could do was repeat the simple two-letter word over and over. She thrashed about, not wanting to be restrained. For one, she absolutely hated hospitals. She’d had enough of it. And secondly, she hated being held down. She’d had quite enough of that in her past too. She’d gone far beyond logic. Her mind no longer belonged to her, and though she’d felt herself slipping before, she hadn’t taken the measures to stop it from progressing.
Nathan had tried to help, bless him. But Bella had refused to take her medication. She was afraid, based on past experiences, of losing herself. The meds once made her feel absolutely awful. Not just physically, but she’d felt so detached. It was the last thing she needed while she was already battling with her emotions. How she ended up being rushed to the hospital, restrained by nurses, and soon to be sedated? She didn’t even know. One minute, she was about to enter the habitat of one of their newest residents - a large elephant who was severely injured - and the next moment, she was in the hospital. It would’ve taken quite a long drive, so Bella had no clue how she couldn’t remember anything in between. She glanced over at Nathan, his face pained. She felt betrayed. She wanted to ask him how he could let the medics treat her this way? Hold her down like this. Inject her against her will… But before the words could come out, the sedative took place and she fell away into blissful unconsciousness.
