I took in a big breath only to start exhaling immediately from the chemicals that hung in the air.
I sat up and looked around. Am I in a hospital? Machines whirred and beeped. The dripping of fluid could be heard. Yup, in a hospital.
The bright lights were blinding and the air burned your nose.
"My god she's awake! Doctor! Doctor!" A voice rang out. Nurses and doctors started rushing in. They all checked my status and wrote things down.

"Oh sweetie, you fell from the second story of your home. But it'll be okay now, you're in our hands." A nurse replied.
"What's going to happen to me? I have no mom or dad anymore..." I cried.
"Oh it's okay sweet cheeks! You'll have a new home and new family soon, just you wait!" The nurse cheered.

The scratching noises returned, but closer. The "kitty" was gone. Not a trace of it left.
I closed my eyes and started drifting off until I felt something on my bed with me. I didn't dare open my eyes but I had to. You can do this! You are strong and can fight this thingy!
The creature had only eyes for a face and was definitely not a kitty. The red orbs surrounded by black skin stared at me intently, as if observing me. It raised an arm, well I guess it was an arm, and slashed my cheek once before scurrying off into the night.
The cuts were small but deep and hurt like crazy. I cradled my cheek with my hand, but passed out as if I was poisoned...
