ET-chapter nine

Here's the final chapter of Eternally Yours. I hoped you enjoyed reading it.

Chapter Nine:l

Eames entered the hospital eager to pick up her best friend. She walked through the double doors and past a nurses' station. She found room 279 and tapped on the door, before opening it.

Bobby was sitting on the bed while a nurse attended to his blood pressure. Benji sat on a chair next to the bed and observed the nurse. He looked at Eames as she walked over to him.

"How are you feeling, Goren?" Eames asked him. He was unconscious for nearly two weeks.

Goren mouthed the words, 'it hurts.' His neck was bandaged with white gauze. The fishing line had cut into his skin as he tried to fight his attacker. The doctor's had to cut his skin to get the line out.

"The doctor says he needs to stay quiet for a few weeks to heal his throat." Benji explained.

"Yea, right, as if hee can do that." Alex laughed. "I do not see that happening."

Benji giggled with Eames and Goren glared at both of them. He took his fist and slammed it into the palm of his hand, but it only made them laugh harder, causing him to put up both hands in mock surrender.

After the laughter stopped, Bobby motioned for his notebook and Benji got it for him. He wrote something on a piece of paper and then handed it to Eames.

"What about Randy?" Eames read it out loud. She looked at him. "Randy's dead. I shot him."

Goren looked sad, but he understood. Randy used to be his best friend in the service. If anyone could have made something of himself, it would have been Randy, but he chose to walk on the dark side.

Bobby looked at Benji and wrote again. He handed her the paper. "I'm sorry." It read. "For what?" She asked. Bobby wrote some more. Benji read the paper to herself and then looked at him. "This wasn't your fault." Tears welled up in her eyes, "I don't blame you, Bobby, and you shouldn't either." She took the paper and threw it away. "You didn't rape me, he did! You aren't responsible for another's actions." She turned away from him.

Bobby looked to the floor, before glancing at eames. She looked back at him and smiled slightly. So many thoughts were going through Goren's mind. He wanted to tell Benji that even if it wasn't his fault, he still felt responsible and will always feel that way. He enjoyed her friendship and was afraid that what happened would change things. He could tell she ahd already changed and it frightened him.

Benji turned around to face him and went to hug him. She had tears in ehr eyes as he hugged her back. As if reading his thoughts, she said, "We will always be friends-always."

Smiling, Benji pulled away. "Are you ready to go, Alex?"

"Whenever you are." Alex pulled out her keys.

Benji nodded and smiled at Goren. "Please get better soon."

Goren smiled back and waved goodbye to both girls as they walked out of the room. He laid back in his hospital bed and sighed softly. The nightmare was over, but Goren felt cheated. he wanted Randy to pay, not get the easy way out. Hell, he even wanted him to suffer, just like Ariana and Benji suffered. Goren slammed his fist into his pillow as he rolled over.

He looked out the window and saw the blue sky. A small bird sat on the window sill looking back at him. The bird was tiny and it wouldn't move. It seemed intent on sitting where it was and watching Bobby. Goren watched its little beak opened and he knew it was singing a song just for him. It made him smile as thoughts of Ariana filled his mind.

The bird sat there for nearly ten minutes before opening its wings and flying away. Goren had the feeling it was Ariana checking up on him one last time before leaving him forever. He closed his eyes, happy again, and soon fell asleep, something his old body needed for a such along time.

EY-chapter eight

Not done by me.



Chapter eight:


Benji's head throbbed as she opened her eyes. Her one handcuffed hand hurt like hell. She pulled herself up to a sitting position. It took her four attempts, but after much effort, she finally did it.


A noise outside her window caught her attention. Was that the police? Oh, please let that be the police. That gave her the strength to pull herself up to look out the window. She managed to look below and thought she saw Bobby.


"Bobby! Bobby!" She called out, but the window was so dirty she couldn't tell if he heard her. She sighed softly as she flopped back onto the bed.


Down below, outside, Robert Goren was issuing orders. His acute hearing picked up on something. Did someone call my name? He looked towards the windows, but saw nothing. As he gazed back to a map of the warehouse, something caught his attention again. Did something move? Yes, something did move.


Both Goren and Eames had on ballet-proof vests, but Bobby felt they would be useless. As far as he knew Randy wasn't one to use a gun, although he did know how to use one.


Once inside, Bobby directed the others of where to go. Goren walked up some stairs with Eames following him.


Benji jumped when her door burst opened. Her eyes lit with anticipation, praying and hoping it was Bobby. The glow suddenly drained from her face as her nightmare stepped into the room.


Miss me sweetie!" Her kidnapper grinned from ear to ear. "It seems we have guests. This might get interesting." He told her as he reached inside his pockets and pulled out some fishing line. He stood behind the door, holding the line in both hands to create a strangling loop.


Benji gasped when she realized what he was intending to do. It was a trap. She struggled against the single handcuff, wanting so desperately to get loose. Footsteps were approaching the door.


"Bobby! It's a trap!" Benji called out. "Behind the door!"


Benji's kidnapper glared at her. He lunged forward and back-handed her so hard she blacked-out. The footsteps stopped.


Goren heard her. A trap, eh? At least Benji's okay. Bobby stopped Eames from going forward.
"Randy! It's over Randy!" Goren called out.


"I see you gained your memory back!" Taunted Randy, looking for a place to hide.


"Let's get together to talk!" Bobby told him inching closer to the door. "Ben, are you okay?"


"I'm through talking to you, Bobby!" Answered Randy. Looking at Benji, he added, "Your little girlfriend is a little out of it at the moment."


"Randy, you better not hurt her!" Not any more than you already have. There was no sound. "Randy?"


"I don't hear anything." Whsipered Alex.


"Me either."


CRASH!!! The sound of glass filled the air and the sound of a thump worried Goren. He rushed into the room, unable to contain himself. Eames waited for the clear.


A window towards the back of the room was broken as if someone or something had fallen against it. Blood on a small metal fire escape, convinced Bobby that Randy might have fallen to his death. He turned towards Benji as she laid still inconscious on the dirty mattress. He sat next to her as he stroked her cheek.


"Bobby?" Eames called from the door. "Can I come in?"


"Y-ye." He started to say before gasping for air. Something wrapped around his throat. The air quickly dispersed as he tried to desperately pull it away. His eyes bulging, he realized what was tightening around his throat. Fishing line! Bobby tried to elbow his attacker. but he was panicking from the lack of air and the more he fought the tighter the line became.




BANG!! Came the sound of a gun going off just before darkness overcame him.





Enjoy!!
