《The Third Word》Chapter 39
Advertisement
Not long after mom left me alone with dad, who was still asleep, I decided to walk around the hospital and buy something to eat from the cafeteria.
I passed by the door with the name plate- 'Ms. Frost, Psychiatrist'
Ms Frost might be able to help me.
I stopped in front of her door.
But...what if she tells dad? This is risky. I can't go to her unless dad's discharged from here.
I left for the cafeteria. I had money only for one sandwich, which is why I wasn't full. I wasn't like other teens who got allowance equal to half of their parents' monthly salary. We weren't poor. It was because I never asked for allowance. My parents bought me everything i asked for, then why would I ever need money for myself?
"I'm bad at remembering names but..." I heard a woman speak from my right,"Gwen Smith?"
"Ms. Frost," I smiled and motioned her to sit beside me on the long, wooden bench in the garden.
"Oh no, I have an appointment to attend in 5. Just came out in the sun for a bit." She said while glancing at her wrist watch.
"How's Kelly?" I asked, remembering the cute, little and imaginative girl.
"She's great, just stealing red pens from my cabin." She laughed.
"Oh, why's that?" I asked.
"She gets obsessed with a particular thing for a few days, then moves to another one. So this time, it's red pens." She said," I have to go now."
"I'll come with you. I'm done eating." I said and she welcomed me with a smile.
We returned to the main building while chatting away about my school and her job. She was a sweet and kind lady, I could tell by the way she talked to me. She even asked me to be at her wedding next month and I told her i would try my best, if I could skip school that day.

"Your dad is in the other ward, right?" she asked as we stood outside her cabin.
"Yes, a light-bulb fell on his head." I said, trying hard not to giggle at my own dad.
"I hope he's okay. It can be bad sometimes." She said showing her concern.
"He's fine." I said," Are you sure you're not getting late for the appointment?"
"Oh right, Kelly's in there so i might have to clean up whatever mess she's created.l've to look more professional rather than a nanny." She laughed and opened the door of her cabin and closing it behind her.
I smiled and was about to turn on my heel to walk back to dad when Ms. Frost rushed out of her cabin.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. She looked panicked.
"Kelly, she's not in there! I left her here and there's no way she can reach the door knob." She explained.
"We'll find her. Don't worry, okay?" I calmed her down.
How could Kelly possibly go out?
"She's on the wheelchair. It's certain she hasn't gone far." I said.
"Yeah, I was out for just 5 minutes." She agreed. We decided that she'd look on the ground floor, just in case Kelly took the elevator.
Meanwhile I looked on the same floor and went around in all the wards of that corridor. I asked people if they saw a little girl on the wheelchair but no one had seen her go that way.
"I think I saw her go to the restroom." An old man answered as i asked about her.
"Are you sure?"
"I remember so." He said and I hurried towards the women's room on the same corridor.

Northwoods Trapper
In the wild places of our planet, dark vestiges of our paranormal past yet cling to twisted life. In the past, the hunters and trappers of the world were tasked with removing such blights from society's fringes - legal assassins, enlisted to enforce the will of civilization against those unnatural, otherworldly hosts. Nowadays, we're not so lucky. With the idea of proper monster-hunting fading from public perception, the once-prestigious mantle is donned by amateurs, hobbyists, and self-taught warriors. It pays poorly, it's dangerous, and people would rather do something that gets them rich or famous or drowning in attention. Most often, new-age monster hunters are born from tragedy. They lack the tact, training, and funding of hunters passed. Instead, they have only their wits and brawn to carry them through. So it is with our hero. In the woods of the American Midwest, foul creatures lurk. Tabitha Varna, a young college drop-out scarred by her past, is determined to uproot them or die trying. Sometimes she hopes for both.[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
