When I first woke up and realized that I was no longer in that room, I felt like it was a different world, and perhaps this was not my body because I was dead and this was me in another life, but I recognized the voice; it was that of Dr. Alex, the same doctor that has been treating me since the day I moved into this monster house.
It was at that moment that I realized that I was okay and that I was still in Donald's house, which made me even more afraid than I was in that room.
I wanted to speak, but I could not find my voice as I kept staring at the doctor in an awkward way while he attended to me, and just when he left, I felt Donald's presence as he walked over to the couch where I was lying and sat on the edge of it.
"Cassie, believe me, I did not mean to hurt you that much. I can swear it on my life. I only wanted to scare you because you broke a rule," he said to me. It was at that moment that I moved my gaze slowly to look at his face.
