'I hope you enjoy your meal' more than I can say for him, wasn't in the mood for fish and I didn't even want to know where or whom the liver came from,
'I hope you get food poisoning' whilst he had some sort of nasty looking soup, I ended up with just some plain, normal toast, I hope,
'are you sure you don't want anything else to eat?'
'oh im sure, thank you' after my, little performance he had retied my mid section to the chair and untied my wrist, allowing me to eat my toast,
' how are you feeling?'
'fine, not as bad as earlier' my head had cleared from earlier and my body felt somewhat better, I reached out to grab my toast when a burning pain shot up through my body from my wrist, then they started to bleed rapidly, whimpered,
' oh god, my wrists'
' what's wrong?' my eyes were now filled with tears, I didn't dare look at my arms as I now could feel warm liquid crawling along my arms, I could no longer feel my arms, oh god !!!!,
'please help me' I cried out, I didn't care who heard it, I just wanted this whole thing to be a dream, but the pain  was real, my feelings were real, it was all so real,
'just be calm, don't move your arms' I felt him untie my midsection, he then applied what looked like a bag of ice to one of my now discoloured wrist,
'this may sting a little, but be still' I felt the ice make contact with my skin, I took a sharp intake or air and a slight whimper escaped my lips as another wave of pain rushed through my entire body, every part of my body was now in full tense mode,
'that's it, just keep still' the pain started to die down and I was now starting to relax, the tears stopped flowing and my breathing became less light and rapid and now became more controlled and steady,
' ill be back in a moment, keep your arms still, ok?'
'ok' I said weakly, whilst he went of to the kitchen I closed my eyes and started to calm myself,
'leafs circling, leafs falling, leafs circling, leafs falling' whilst repeating the same words, leafs were circling and falling in my head against a clear blue sky background, no birds tweeting, no wind gusting, just leafs, autumn leafs.

'Miss Jones are you alright?, can you hear me?, I opened my eyes to find Dr Lector staring at me, emotionless as always,
'yes, I can Dr'
'what were you saying, just now, you mentioned leafs, circling and falling' he seemed confused and interested at the same time,
'its a way of relieving pain, it helps physically, but not mentally' he began to bandage my wrist, the pain was now nearly gone, I didn't take my eyes of him for a second,
 'I'm sorry' did he just apologise, Dr Hannibal Lector, the legendary serial killer just apologised to me, never judge a book by its cover, or its index,
'its alright, I understand' he stopped and hesitated, he didn't look at me but instead he held me tightly, he must feel so lonely, so hollow, so empty,
'thank you' I smile gently, after all this excitement I suddenly felt really tired, I yawned rather loudly, he noticed,
'too much excitement?'
'mmmm,hmmm, slightly' he stood up and made his way to a door on the opposite side of the room, he unlocked the door and went inside for a while, I wasn't all that sure on what he was doing, I yawned again, not as loud,
'oh dear, yawner' the door opened again and he stepped out carrying a pillow and a blanket, he then went over to a couch, he placed the pillow at one end of the couch and the blanket on the arm at the other end of the couch, he then made his way to me were he removed my shoes, he then brought his attention back to me,
'can you stand up?'
'yep' no, well sort of, I was able to stand alright, he then supported my waist and arm,
 'you ready'
'ok' uh no, I could barely stand let alone walk, it only took one step forward and that was it, my legs buckled, he caught before me before I fell to the floor, I wasn't going anywhere,
'ah, I cant feel my legs'
'you've been sat down too long, here' he suddenly bent down and picked up my legs, whilst I wrapped an arm around his neck,
'I suggest breakfast for you in the morning miss Jones, you are very light'
'ha, ok' he gently placed me on the sofa, I made myself comfortable before he draped the blanket over me,
'sleep well miss Jones'
'thank you, good night' he smiled slightly before turning towards his desk, he sat down In his chair and began to write, I snuggled down before quickly falling asleep.
