Chess Maniac

Seeing the doctor finally leaving the ward, Adelaide and Liliana let out a short sigh. They were both glad that they were finally done with that noisy doctor.

Then, Liliana turned to grin at Adelaide. Adelaide just maintained her cool she trying to figure out what the girl is thinking. Whatever she's up to, Adelaide had a feeling that it wasn't anything too bad or too annoying to be death with so, she just let her be.

" I wanna take a bath. Can you show me the bathroom ? "

" Oh, right, this way, miss. "

The little nurse quickly agreed and dragged Adelaide towards a nearby glass door. Although slightly annoyed, Adelaide just chuckled it away since the scene seemed amusing for some reason.

As soon as the glass door was opened, a luxurious bathroom with an extensive amount of facilities was revealed. Even though Adelaide has just woke up from a 3 year long coma, she wasn't so dense as to believe there was such an exclusive normality in a hospital thanks to the memories which she suspects isn't hers.

" Liliana, why's there a bathtub in here ?"

" Umm.... who cares, miss ? Might as well clean you up since it's been so long since you took a warm bath, right ?"

" En."

Adelaide just the little nurse change the topic since it wasn't all that important anyways. After all, it's just a personal inquiry so, it's pretty much irrelevant even if she knew.

While Adelaide was undressing herself and putting on a white towel around her body, Liliana was adjusting the water temperature so that it wasn't too cold nor too hot for Adelaide.

" Miss, the water is ready. You can come out now. "

" En. "

Adelaide came out of the changing room with a towel but took it off when she was about to enter the bathtub. Then, she gave it to the little nurse. Her ***** body exposed her silky smooth skin and hourglass figure. Although her black hair was common however, when it fluttered against her pale white back, one could not help but be enchanted by the beautiful contrast.

Seeing such a thing first hand, Liliana could not help but stand frozen in place for some time before composing herself and carefully watching the young lady bath peacefully. Before long, she couldn't stand it anymore and was dying to at least brush her hand against the dark hair that looked like elegant black ribbons in the water. So, she came out with an excuse to fulfill her desire.

" Miss, how about I wash your hair for you ? I've worked at a salon before so, it'll definitely feel great and - "

" En."

Adelaide was too lazy to listen to her ranking do she just interrupted the girl and agreed to her suggestion without thinking much.

" A moment, miss. "

Getting Adelaide's approval, Liliana was beyond elated but hid her excitement deep within her heart and maintained a modest expression as she went to take some shampoos and conditioners to do her task. Then, she sat behind Adelaide's head and started washing her hair as gently as possible.

" Miss, is this okay ? "

"En."

After about half an hour of soaking, Adelaide rinsed off the soap and clean up her body. Then, she got out of the tub and dried herself up with a towel and quickly got herself dressed up while Liliana was emptying the bathtub and putting all the toiletries back to its original position.

Then, she went back to her bed and waited for dinner. After having porridge for dinner, Adelaide couldn't help but move around her bed in boredom. After watching the scene for at least a few minutes, Liliana couldn't help but inquire about the lady's actions.

" Miss, what's wrong ? Is the bed uncomfortable? Or are you having a stomachache ? "

" I'm bored. I can't sleep. I want something to do. "

Hearing Adelaide's answer, Liliana thought for a while before a light bulb suddenly lit up in her little mind.

" How about a game, miss ? There should be a chess set at the reception outside. "

" Perfect! "

Since Adelaide was dying to do anything, her face glimmered as soon as she heard about the chess set. So, she quickly agreed to it.

The nurse quickly went outside to borrow the chess set. After a while, she came back with a wooden box that resembled a chess board.

" Miss, I got it ! "

" En. Help me arrange it. "

After all the chess pieces were in its rightful positions, the game began. Although Adelaide's eyes were shunning like a young child, every one of her moves was as decisive as a strategist. Her skills improved so rapidly that after Liliana's second win, Adelaide never lost again. Each of her moves had at least one back up plan that was covering up for a few more back up plans.

After Liliana's 10th consecutive lost, she completely gave up on defeating the lady's horrifying talent.

" Miss, you're too good ! Are you bullying me ? So mean. "

"It's not my fault that you're so predictable, Liliana. You're so straightforward that I didn't need to think much, y'know ? "

Liliana couldn't refute against Adelaide's words. She heard that comment countless times when she played with her family. She knew that although her skills weren't bad she wasn't a flexible person so she could only win the first few times and usually ends up losing to that person when they eventually figure out her style of playing.

However, she was unwilling to admit defeat. So she thought of another way to win against the lady.

" Then,.... I'll ask someone else to play for me !"

Liliana stormed out of the ward and started asking around for anyone who had free time to play chess with Adelaide. Many people was excited to see the rumoured 'sleeping beauty' that had just woken up after a 3 year long coma so, they agreed to play chess with her.

As a result, each person who played against Adelaide entered the ward happily went out with either a gloomy, angry or crying expression. Every one of them lost miserably.

On the surface, Adelaide was just making simple moves but only those who became her opponent knew her ruthlessness. She wore a poker expression while making almost irregular moves without battling an eye, confusing the opponent about her intentions the whole time.

That night, a rumour started to circulate around the hospital about a girl who just woke up ftom a coma but got possessed by the ghost of a Chess Maniac. Many didn't believe it. However, those who had a shift that night knew that the rumour was undoubtedly true. All they could do was silently pray so that Adelaide got discharged quickly so that the cause of their nightmares can finally disappear.
