A not so pleasing face hovered above hers... For someone who hated doctors since she was a kid, it seemed like a nightmare... Bright light assaulted her eyes when she came to sense.. She squeezed her eyes shut feeling prickes of needles in her arms with numbness.. Did the attack hitted her too?

She looked at the unknown ceiling above her head.. Ceiling or whatever it was.. She was laying in a not so soft but not too bad military grade bed with needles going in her arms giving her the IV fluid... Her outfit felt itchy and light too.. A hospital gown she presumed...

"You almost died... The attack was directed at you in the end rather than your mega Absol..." She heard a sound... Her head shot off from the soft pillow under her head adjusting to the dark corner of the room finding someone sitting there... Her jump shook the entire bed startling the nurse there who grabbed her shoulders... "Calm down... You are okay... Everything is fine. Your Absol too.." She told her..

Two sighs escaped her lips.. First being a sigh of relief and other being one filled with stress... Her shoulders lightly sagged down in tiredness feeling the cramps attack her whole body from her calfs to her shoulder which were aching just cause she moved them a little...

"Ash... Where's he?" She tried to pull away the drips going in her hand only to be stopped by another hand which lightly squeezed her hand lightly as if trying to assure her...

"The muscle head went after him.. He will be fine.. He is strong.." Astrid's expression darkened lightly... She leaned onto the pillow behind her believing he would he fine... Rather than feeling useless, she felt relived and grateful to be alive... She now understood the value of life... It was sheer luck she was saved...

Deciding to listen to her heart that Ash would be fine.. She now focussed on the woman who held her hand... Her head slowly heeled up looking at a flawless face with striking blonde hair similar to her own... "Why? Why did you left him even if you knew he loved you?" She didn't knew why these words hurted to ask... It was a simple question right...

The nurse stepped outside the room to give them the privacy they needed leaving both of them in a strange uncomfortable and strangling silence... A chill ran down Cynthia's spine at the question... Love.... What they had was definitely not something like friendship, even close friendship... No close friends go on dates, no close friends do the things they did and they definitely don't have sexual tensions between them...

Deciding to answer it in a logical way her mouth opened...

"Astrid.. This isn't about it.. We all have responsibilities that...."
