A Penni's life for me/Page16

A penny's life for me: Maracus
I was pretty much in and out of conciousness on the way to the hospital by ambulance may I add.

When I did wake up my hands were raped with white cloth and taped totally up. And Auntie Martha was sitting right next to me next to a half meter tall wasp I knew it was a Rigellian. I also knew they were the most asked for race for couseling around. I guess suicide gave top prority over stress or pretty much anything except another suicide case. No one else was there. I don't think they even noticed that I awoke.

"All I can tell you now is that you can't send her back to her old life. Even if you keep her a penny you got to keep her with you."

"Its that bad."

"Yep."

"Ok I'll do the paperwork. You'll have to help."

I started banging my hands on the bed. It didn't matter anymore. It didn't matter who I became and what happened to me. I just wanted to be gone permeanately. Someone pushed the call button and Auntie Martha held my hands both of them not letting go it didn't feel forced but I had trouble resisting.

The male nurse walked in. "Get her 1 cc of Maracus and restraints." I was shocked at the small amount but I never heard of Maracus.

The nurse quickly left and brought the restraints restained my hands. "The pharmacy will be working on it in a hour. THey have to have it shipped," he said. "But don't worry we have fast delievery."

When the nurse left the Rigellian looked at Auntie Martha "What the heck is Maracus?"

"Its a antidepressant but we only use it in extreme cases. I think you can agree its extreme"

"Yeah but why isn't it more known?"

"Cause people died from it. Maracus can only be done in very small dose and only one dose. So it has to be done only in extreme cases cause it can't be administered again. Also it doesn't work that long it works long enough so that counseling and other normal means can take over"

"Oh."

A couple hours later the nurse came in with that shot. I didn't like the idea of having a shot but I knew any resistence now will just make things worse. He leaned me on my side and gave me a quick shot. It was actually a hypodermic not hypospray. It hurt. Part of me wished it was a mistake.

"Why a needle?" He had to ruin it. The wasp had to ruin it. But I was starting to feel better.

"Cause its to thick for a hypospray. Its better in needle form. Are you ok nadia?"

"Yes Auntie Martha."

"Good girl."

"When can I go home?"

"A few days."

"Can't I come home today?"

"No we need to get those hands healed."

The next three days were me still restrained just in case and no one leaving my side at any time. I heard them talking I was under twenty four hour watch. I wasn't to be left alone at all. When Auntie Martha was taking a shower or going to lunch either Mr. Ray the Rigellian was there and if there both gone one of the nurses was there. I wasn't left alone even when I was asleep.

When I left the hospital I got a big surprize at least to me.

Authors note: This is the end of the series not really the way I planned. A pennys' life for me is done.
