Chapter 3

Kate sat quietly beside Lara. Her was sealed shut but her lips moved incoherently with inaudible words. She had sat there all through the night, she couldn’t sleep.

The doctor had assured her that Lara would be okay and there was no damage to her brain, but she still found that hard to believe because the sun was almost up and she had not still regained consciousness, she didn’t even move a finger.

She slowly opens her eyes and gazed on to her best friend with eyes filled with sadness.

“Please Lara, just open your eyes, you can fight this” Kate muttered and just then, a slight groan escaped Lara’s lips.

Lara slowly blinked open as her pupils adjusted to the light that flooded into them; “William!” she called weakly.

“William?” Kate asked softly as she propped closer; “Lara, it’s me Kate” She muttered, but All Lara could say was William.

Kate ran out of the ward and in just a few minutes later, she returned with the doctor.

“Were the fuck I’m I?” Lara asked immediately the Doctor and Kate walked in; “Who Ambushed us? where are my bodyguards? William!” Lara kept screaming out.

Kate watched in confusion from the door. Did the impact cause her to go insane? Who the fuck is Williams? She knows all Lara’s friends and for sure none of them goes by the name William.  She didn’t even call her name even after driving her to the hospital.

She watched as the doctor sedated her and laid her down on her bed;

“What’s wrong with her doctor? is she gonna be, okay?”

‘Yes, we just need for her to rest. Might be the after effect of the drugs we administered to her”, the doctor replied as he flipped through Her folder.

After a while the doctor left and Kate returned to her seat; she was scared, she didn’t want Lara’s issue to get more complicated.

Kate brushed off the strands of hair that had scattered on her face.

*******

Hours flew by and finally Lara opened her eyes. The room was empty. She sat up and touched her chest again, she couldn’t feel her breast.

“What have they done to me?” She whimpered and looked around the ward; “Kate!” she called out.

She slowly climbed down the hospital bed; her body no longer hurts as much as it did when she woke up earlier. She slowly slid her hand down into her trouser and felt it. Her eyes bulged open wide as her hand gripped it firmly. If she didn’t know better, what is a Penis doing in-between her legs, she wondered in despair.

Her heart raced, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Her palm became clammy with sweat. She moved towards the door and walked out.

She took a deep breath, determined to get out of what ever hell hole this place is, before they do something more evil to her.

If I succeed in getting out of here, I’ll sue all of this asshole to court and make sure they undo what ever they did to me. she got to the exit and walked out of the hospital.

She took few steps away from the door and turned around to take one more glance at the building, her eyes caught sight of the reflection of her image on the glass door.

She raised her brows in confusion and moved close to the door; right there in the mirror was the image of the man she had bumped into earlier, the rude jerk who had spilled coffee on her.

Is this real or is she dreaming? She wondered. She slapped herself on the cheeks and rubbed her eyes roughly before opening it again, but the image on the glass didn’t change. She let out a sharp scream, that drew attention at her.

Meanwhile, the guards had arrived to Guard the young master’s ward. William opened the door and probed his head in to check on the young Master but was shock to find the bed vacant.

He flung the door open immediately and looked around the room but the room was also empty.

“The Master Liam is not in his ward. Search the hospital, he might have been abducted. Block the exit” Williams ordered the guards and immediately the guards dashed out.

They were close to the exit when they sighted Liam staring strangely at the door.

“There he is, go get him” William instructed.

Liam or should I say Lara screamed loudly and started running.

“What do you see? A man’s face?” she asked the first person she ran to on the road. The lady shuddered in fright and walked away.

“I’m not a man, can’t you see I am a lady” she kept on saying.

“Master Liam!” she heard a voice call out loudly from behind her. This was the same name they had called her back in the ward. The group of hefty men, clad in black suit and glasses ran up to her and without wasting any more second, she took to her heels, running as if her life depends on it.

And were was she running to? She didn’t even know, neither did she know what part of the town she is in and how long it will take to get to Kate’s apartment, but what she is that she had to get away from these men before they do something more bad to her.

“Master Liam where are you running to STOP, you might rip your sutures, you just had a surgery” Willam screamed breathlessly from behind.

His words floated into Lara’s ears causing her brows to curve slightly. Sutures, she knew what sutures mean. Thoughts of running and her intestine exploding out of the ripped sutures terrified and she stopped running.

William ran to a stop in front of her breathlessly, he rested his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. Lara held out her fisted hands out, ready for anyone that will try to mess with her.

“Sir, why were you running?” Lara heard the voice of the breathless man say, they man whom she was yet to know was Willaim.

“Why were you chasing after me then?” Lara asked defensively.

“Sir, we are your guards, were ever you go, we go. Besides, we haven’t figured out who tried to kill you” William stated.

“Kill me?”

“Yes sir! Don’t you remember”

“Don’t call me sir, my name is Lara”

William’s brows curved in confusion as he threw glances at the guard behind him.

“You say, you are my guards?” Lara asked

‘Yes sir”

“Which means I am the boss of all these cute looking muscular men?” Lara asked again as she pointed to the guards behind William.

“Yes sir”

“Ah, my belle hurts” Lara let out a scream, and pretended to fall and immediately the gaurds gathered around her.

“Carry me, I can’t walk anymore”

And just like she instructed the guard lifted her up and carried her. She smiled as her body touched the well build body of the guard. His muscle seemed like it would burst through the threads of the suit any minute.

This thought filled Lara’s head and soon blood rushed down to his crotch and she could feel the dick underneath her leg thicken.

“Stop!” she screamed and jumped down. The bulge in her short were almost visible and she had to bend down.

“I can’t believe this. I just had an erection. What I’m I doing in his body” she cried and fell to the floor.

“Sir, you have to get up” Williams said to Liam and then turned to one of the guards, get me a car.

“Don’t call me sir, can’t you see I am a lady? Do I truly look like this man?” Lara muttered and trail her hands on the face she now possesses.

*******

Liam slowly flapped his lids open, the bright light in the ward flooded into his eyes causing him to shut his eyes again and shielded his eyes with his hand. he groaned softly and pulled himself up.

Kate who was asleep with her head resting on the bed noticed the movement and woke up immediately.

“Lara, how are you feeling now? Should I go get the doctor?”

“NO! no, I’m fine” He replied almost immediately and went quiet, his brows hollowed in confusion.

“Why do I sound like this? What happened to my voice? Who are you?” Liam asked, throwing a suspicious glare at Kate.

Kate stared back at Lara confused. Her mind running back and forth with the possibility of her friend losing her memory.

“My name is Kate; don’t you remember me?” Kate asked and tried to touch her but Lara moved back to avoid her touch.

“Can you at least remember your name?” Kate asked softly.

“My name is Liam, Liam Browne”

Kate sat up straight, a look of shock slowly appearing on her face and almost immediately she busted out laughing.

Lara (Liam) sat there staring at the strange lady who said her name was Kate laughing at his reply. This was the first time anyone was laughing freely at what he said without being scared of him and the power he possesses as the young master.

“Did I say something funny?”

“C’mon Lara. Let’s just say you might have hit your head too hard, but out of all the persons your brain chooses to impersonate, it was my boss, Master Liam?” Kate muttered and scoffed; “I’m gonna go get the doctor” Kate added and turn to leave but she was pulled back immediately.

“Wait, I am your boss?” She asked, but Kate didn’t reply. “I meant to say, is master Liam your boss?”

“Yes, and you know that already” Kate replied and pulled her hand off Lara’s grip.

Liam cursed and rubbed his head; his eyes caught sight of Kate’s purse and he immediately rushed to it and opened it. He searched through it contents and immediately found what he was looking for, A Mirror. He raised it up and saw his reflection.

“What!” he screamed out loudly and the mirror dropped from his hand. if he wasn’t mistaken, this was the same girl he had bumped into on his way to his office.

He closed his eyes and recalled how a group of men attacked him and he was stabbed. That only means, if he is in this body, then the owner of this body would be in his, Liam voiced out to himself as he paced pensively around.

He paused suddenly and ran to Kate who stood by the door staring worriedly at her friend.

“I want you to take me somewhere” Liam requested.

“Lara, you’re scaring me”

“Please, Kate” Liam pleaded again.

“Okay, but we will first go see the doctor and then I’ll go home and freshen up before taking you anywhere” Kate said and Liam nodded.

Kate picked up her purse and they both left the ward. They went to the doctor’s office and Kate was able to get Lara discharged.

The drive back to the apartment was a quiet one as Liam was lost in his thoughts. wondering how he managed to see himself in a woman’s body.

“How is such a thing even possible” he thought out loud.

As Kate drove, she couldn’t help but worry if she did the right thing by discharging her from the hospital. She would throw glances at her every now and then. Lara just sat there mumbling to herself and it scared Kate even more.

What is Lara has truly gone nuts? Kate wondered and returned her concentration back to the road after she had gotten a loud honk from a driver whom she almost crashed onto.

She pulled over in front of the apartment and stepped down, Liam stepped down and followed her closely into the apartment.

“I’ll just go upstairs and freshen up” Kate said, giving her a strange look. She nodded in reply before Kate climbed up the stairs.

Liam looked around stiffly. The apartment was too small. He couldn’t believe someone would actually live in such a cage like place. The air conditioner wasn’t even working, beads of sweat broke all over his body. His eyes fell on the chair were he sat and he immediately jumped up. The black leather chair had worn out.

“Lara, please come!” he heard Kate’s voice call from upstairs.

That would be me, he muttered to himself and walked up the stairs slowly in fear that the wooden case would give way and he fall.

“Where are you?” Liam asked in his new found feminine voice, no doubt the owner of the body has a wonderful voice, he thought and walked into the room following the sound of Kate’s voice.

He squeezed the door knob and the pushed the door open.  

He froze at the sight of the figure standing before him.

“Lara, I almost forgot, you have to scrub my back. I scrubbed yours last time” Kate said innocently and walked over to the door and pulled Liam in.

His jaws dropped. Standing before him was an unclad woman, dripping wet. Her perky breast and brown areolas stared right back at him. He was lost in his world of thoughts that he didn’t even realize that Kate was still stretching out her hand to hand the foamy sponge over to him.

“Back to Earth Lara” Kate said and snapped her fingers in the air.

“Sorry, What!” Liam stuttered.

Kate squeezed the sponge into his hands and then turned around. It took a lot of courage for him to scrub her and run out of the bathroom and down the stairs.

His hands touched his couch and he couldn’t feel any penis, just a flat fold of skin. So this was truly happening. It ain’t no fucking dream. My Penis! He exclaimed in a hushed tones.

He imagined what the girl would be doing with his body at the moment. does that mean she would have seen his penis? I have to see hers too so we’d be even, he thought and pulled down the trouser he had on.

His jaws dropped at the sight before him, the hair free mould under him. I’m a fucking girl, he cried out.

“What are you doing?” he heard Kate’s voice ask suddenly, interrupting his thought. He quickly pulled up his pants.

“I erm, I, I ju, I needed a change of clothes from this hospital wears into something nice” Liam’s tiny voice stuttered.

Kate gave him a confused stared and directed him to their room upstairs so he could change.

“Don’t forget to freshen up” Kate added and watch her friend run upstairs nervously.

Kate sighed and returned back upstairs, she had come down to ask Lara why she had ran out of the bathroom.

Liam pulled off the clothes as he got into the bathroom, he couldn’t bring himself to look down on the lady’s body anymore. That would be making him a pervert.

“I am not a pervert” he said to himself and then took a deep breath…

“Who did this to me? if That girl is truly in my body, then that means she is in danger. My brother would be coming after her again” he thought silently.
