excerpt : Battered Mind Prologue

Sadie sat on her hospital bed wondering how she got there. She looked

all around the large room, and began to place her arm on the cold metal brass of the

bed. She noticed how the nurses would come in and out the door. As she layed,

there quietly, her heart began to race rather rapidly. It only took a few minutes before

all that had transpired the night before came back to her. Suddenly, she began to

scream very loudly.

The loud screams overwhelmed the entire floor. It did not take very long for the

hospital staff to come into her room. As they tried to calm Sadie down, she tried to

get away by kicking and trying to bite the nurses in the room.

After a period of what seemed forever, a male nurse came in and gave her a sedative to

calm her down. Sadie again seemed like she was in another world. She could not

grasp what was happening to her. It all appeared so confusing and she felt as if

she was in a daze more than a dream.

He always wanted to keep his legacy going and now all eyes were on me. I was excited in being able to finally start at John Marshall so that I could finally have my freedom or so I thought. You see my father did not like the fact that I had chosen to live with my boyfriend Dante Caryle. He was furious and always had his re...
