“Please don’t move!” | Haemorrhage
Ignore that it is May 2022. This was in my drafts from last years challenge.
“What happened?”
Kerry wasn’t sure who said it, but she found herself awkwardly positioned on the ground, head in her hands, a knee pulled close to her chest as she finally heard it.
“I…” her heart was beating fast; her voice stuttered. She could feel panic setting into her like a fire burning in her stomach, only she didn’t know why.
She couldn’t think straight at all, so she just kept her head down. It was easier that way. And maybe when she looked up it would make sense when she was ready.
Her eyes were shut tight as she thought back, trying to remember what exactly had happened. She didn’t know why this question had been directed to her.
Could they not tell she didn’t know?
Everything was silent. Not peaceful. But silent. This silence was heavy. She could feel its pressure all over her body. She felt around her head, her hands sequentially going over each recognizable feature as she tried to ground herself. She could feel her glasses. The mundane finding brought a wash of relief throughout her body.
She had her glasses. Something was normal.
But her head still ached. That wasn’t normal. A dull ache contrasted against the stinging feeling on the forehead. She moved her hand up. It was sticky.
“I’m bleeding?”
Her words sounded distant even to herself. Everything was dark and muddled, she wasn’t even sure she had spoken aloud. The only confirmation was when the voice returned.
“Are…are you okay?”
For the first time, Kerry noticed that the voice sounded just as unsteady as she felt. It was strained, forced out with an abnormal amount of effort. Something was wrong.
Kerry turned on the ground towards the voice. It whimpered. But this time it wasn’t as clouded, she recognized the voice.
With growing concern, she started to crawl towards it. It was still dark and the area she was in was cramped. She extended a hand outwards, pressing down into the carpet and pulling herself forward. Only it didn’t feel like carpet.
She felt the pool of blood. The pool of blood she was leaning on. The pool of blood that was holding her upright.
“Oh god, Susan!” She called out, her brain making connections without her. She didn’t know why she had screamed the woman’s name. Nothing made sense.
She slowly pulled herself to sit upright, opening her eyes. And for the first time, it wasn’t dark anymore. It was right there in front of her. The answers to all the questions.
Kerry’s eyes meet the blondes, wide, scared, and wet with tears.
“Is…is that your blood?” Kerry asked. It was a stupid question. She knew the answer.
It was quiet, and then, “It is. My head, my back, everything hurts.”
Susan was clutching at her wound, her other hand over her mouth and eyes closed.
Kerry watched in horror as blood seeped through her fingers as she pressed them against Susan’s neck.
It was then the world rushed back into focus.
And it all came back to her with violence.
The seminar. The terror. The screams.
Susan.
“Please don’t move!” Kerry sputtered out, swapping out Susan’s weak hands for her own and pushing down on the entry wounds. “I’m here. I’m here.”

My entry for this prompt explores a very different intersection of identities than I usually do for Kerry. (And a far more personal one for me.)
