12 Thud! (1/2)

Li Xiuying heard a voice.

Female Voice: ”Li Xiuying I was so worried about you. What were you thinking?”

She scowled: Why did the voice make her want to throw up?

The voice again: ”Li Xiuying, you scared us all to death!”

Li Xiuying eye lids felt heavy. She tried to open them, but no matter how hard she tried all she could see was black.

Female voice whined: ”Li Xiuying, how could you just go and get sick like this? What about all the the surgeries you promised to do. You have to keep your word.” It was a sickly sweet feminine voice.

Female voice: ”Little Xiuying, look at Big sister when I'm talking to you!!!”

Li Xiuying eyes opened instantly. She was staring into the face of Li Yu Yan. Li Yu Yan was so close that she could see her pores opening and closing.

Li Yu Yan: ”Little Xiuying, how could you run off? Don't worry I wont tell mummy and daddy as long as you do a few things for me. The director of the medical programme at Northwest University needs a knee replacement. The manager of Future Enterprise needs his gallbladder removed. My friend and our cousin Li Na wants a rhinoplasty...he needs a ... she needs ...”

Li Xiuying felt her head was spinning.

How am I back here? How did they find me so soon?!

Li Yu Yan continued listing names and procedures as Li Xiuying grabbed her head.

Li Xiuying shouted: ”This can't be happening!!!!!”

Li Yu Yan: ”Li Xiuying, why are you shouting whilst big sister is talking? That's so rude. Big sister was in the middle of listing things. You know I don't like it when you interrupt me. I'll have to start all over again. Make sure you remember everything I'm going to tell you otherwise mommy and daddy might just find out about your little escape act.”

Li Yu Yan: ”The director of Northwests medical programme need a.....”

Li Xiuying Screamed: ”AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!” She punched Li Yu Yan in the face, whilst screaming

....

THUD.

Li Xiuying eyes flew open with the impact from falling. She was on the floor her arms and legs akimbo.

She gathered herself and pushed herself up into a seated position. She leaned back against the bed, her legs were stretched out in front of her, her hands were in her hair.

She had sweat dripping down her face. Her heart was beating so fast and hard, that it felt like it would breakthrough her ribs. Li Xiuying started taking deep calming breaths. She closed her eyes.

Li Xiuying whispered : ”It was only a dream. It was only a dream. It was only a dream.” She felt herself calming.

Li Xiuying then started chuckling to herself.

Even when I escape my family in real life they still appear in my dreams. I bet even if they die they would haunt me as ghosts.
