THE WATER BABY CHAPTER THIRTEEN

I was back in the Barren Universe. The same t-rex was running towards me. As before, I turned and ran in the opposite direction. And then, before I knew it, I was running across the same field towards the same snogging couple.
They stopped kissing and screamed from shock as they looked up and saw me. But then they saw the gaining t-rex and they really screamed. I looked behind me, the t-rex was now concentrating on them. Instead of getting up and running, they were just sat there, frozen. I watched in horrified fascination as the t-rex sniffed at them, and then, in one swoop, picked them up and chomped on them. I felt sic as I heard the 'crunch' sound.
While the t-rex was distracted with it's dinner, I took heed and ran. I had gone quite far when I heard it roar and gain on me again.
I saw a house in the distance and headed straight for it. I didn't really care who lived thewre, just as long as I could escape the t-rex.
I got to the house, and banged on the rickity front door. No answer. I banged again. "Come on!" I yelled. Then, at last, the door opened. I looked, shocked, at who had answered.
It was the Water Baby.
"Come inside, Jackie," he grabbed my shoulder and dragged me inside. He summoned a staff from nowhere, a long, green stick, with a purple top. He swung it around in a circle, causing a worm-hole. When the t-rex had vanished through the worm-hle, he shut it up again.
He shut the door, yurned, and looked at me with a furious look on his face.
"Jackie," he said. "You are a Universal Criminal. You caused Universal Breeding by letting something in this Universe, which shouldn't have been. Because of your foolishness, you are now considered dangerous, and you must be destroyed!"
A bright, white light appeared from nowhere, and I was back in my bedroom, with the Water Baby.
"Now do you remember?" He asked.
"No," I answered. "I would've remembered something like that."
"Then you do not remember what happened next?"
I shook my head.
"Then I'll show you."
Another bright, white light glared. When it subsided, I was now outside.
I found myself in a churchyard, tied up to a stake. A vicar wearing black and carrying a bible was walking towards me. He stopped when he got a metre ahead of me. I immediately saw he had bright green eyes, with yellow pupils, which led me to believe he was actually the Water Baby.
"We are gathered here today to excorsise Jackie Thorpe, who, by causing a t-rex to enter this Universe, has become a Universal Criminal. She must be destroyed right now, as she is now considered dangerous!"
He opened up his bible and commenced reading from it: "And all Harlots shall be banished to the Grounds of Hell where they belong!"
He shut his bible, and produced a flaming torch from nowhere, then he set the ground around me on fire. As the fire rose up around me, I saw a white light in the distance, and I was back in my bedroom.
"Surely, you remember being excorsised?" Inquired the Water Baby. "Unfortunately, the Excorsism wasn't completed. We accidentally banished you to Heaven instead of Hell. You shouldn't be here, you should be in Hell. I am here to collect you and take you there immediately!"
I was scared. Why would he want to take me to Hell?I hadn't done anything. Then I decided. I was going to run.
"Hey, you, get back here!" I heard him yell out as I ran out of my room. I ran down the stairs, thought better of it, and ran towards the stairs that lead to the attic, knowing I would go through the Anomaly. Sure enough, I sudenly found myself in a large room with scientific apparatus set out. In the corner of the room, a woman with cholate-coloured hair and a white lab coat looked up towards me.
"Subject A has arrived!" She announced through a megaphone.
I heard a door opening from behind me. I turned. A man with long, flowing, silvery hair was walking towards me. He, too, was wearing a white lab coat. As he looked straight at me, I was horrified to see he had bright green eyes, with yellow pupils.
Quick as a flash, he was standing beside me, and had grabbed me. The woman came over and grabbed my other side. Together, they dragged me over to a table, where they tied me to it, with belts. I was shocked to see that a tray of different sized knives had been set out beside me.
The man started talking to the woman. "Go and get the blood bag," he ordered her. She left.
While she was gone, he pottered about, rearranging the knives in an order which seemed important to him. The woman came back carrying a bag full of red stuff, which I suspected was blood.
"Thank you, Miss Brown," he took the bag off her. He took out a dictophone from his coat pocket and started speaking into it:
"We have here Subject A tied to the table. We also have here the bag which contains a specimen of Subject A's blood, which we need for the excorsism process. Shortly, we shall begin the process."
I lay there, listening, frightened. What the Hell was going on? What was he going to do to me? He couldn't excorsise me, I wouldn't let me.
I started screaming at him as he picked up a small knife with a very sharp blade. He put his finger to my lips, and inserted the knife into my thigh. It felt like my insides were being ripped out. I screamed loudly. He was now talking into his dictophone: "Please note that Subject A has been inserted with the Thigh Knife. She is screaming out loud, so this must mean we have started excorsising her successfully."
He then procceded to pick up a knife a littler longer than the last. He plunged it into my wrist. Tears streamed down my face as a burning sensation seared through my body.
"Please note trhat Subject A has had the Wrist Knife inserted in. She has tears dribbling down her face. And her wrists are turning red. This is a clear mark that she is being burned and is getting closer to entering Hell."
I looked down at my wrist, It had indeed gone red, like it had been burned. It wasn't surprising, seeing as that was it felt like.
Again, another knife was picked up. This time, it was a little longer than the first knife, but shorter than the second. Before plunging it anywhere, he first pricked the tip of his finger with it. It started to bleed. With his other hand, he picked up the bag which contained my blood. He allowed one drop of his blood to enter the bag before closing it back up again. He shook it about, so my blood was now all mixed up with his blood.
"Please note that a drop of my blood has been dripped into the bag containing a specimen of Subject A's blood, and it has now been mixed up. As of now, she shall feel everything I do."
I couldn't understand why he did that. It was clear he was torturing me. Why did he want to feel as though he was being being tortured as well?
The answer came aprubtly. He picked up a pair of scissors, and calmly chopped off the finger he had pricked. I started screaming, as, yet again, a burning sensation went through my finger. In fact, it felt like it was on fire. I looked down, and, sure enough, it was on fire! I looked up at him, terrified. He was talking into his dictophone again, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. He watched me for a couple of minutes, not doing anything to end my suffering. Then he suddenly plunged a dagger through my heart!
