Elizabeth had watched out the back of the ambulance as the figures of the farmhouse had grown smaller in the distance. She felt bad for the way that she was leaving them, but she felt good about her decision. Ian was the only one in the world that mattered to her and she was going to do whatever it took to take care of him. Even if that meant putting a man behind bars….
The time at the police station had seemed like a nightmare. There were questions and pictures, sworn declarations that she had lied on. All of it cultivated in the fact that Pa was going to be in trouble for a very long time. She knew that he hadn’t raped her, but the way that he had tried to poison Ian and kill him the night before told her more then enough about the kind of man that he was. She felt no pity. If it weren’t Ian, it would have been someone else.
After the interogation at the police station, they had sent her to the same hospital that Ian was in. They treated the scratches on her legs and gave her an ice pack for the slight swelling on her face. All in all, she would be healed in a few days. They called her lucky. She felt extremely lucky. Ian had been seen by a doctor and cleaned up. He was going to live and that very thought was enough to bring her to tears.
She had cried herself to sleep at his bedside. The nurses had given her a new dress to wear, one that was too big but her yellow sundress, the one that she loved so much, was beyond repair. As she silently slumbered at his side, they had placed a wool blanket around her, leaving her to the peaceful dreams that slowly fell upon her.
When she heard her name yelled from beside her, she jerked awake, looking over at Ian as he searched the room wildly. “I’m here.” She said quickly, taking his good hand and pulling it between her own.
“There’s nothing to worry about. You’re safe in a hospital. You’re safe.”
