The third chapter! Only confusion can take place right now.

:TW: Mentions of blood and bodily harm/injuries.

"How is she doctor? Will she be okay?" a voice says into the darkness that is keeping Brenna's head captive. But this time she hears the voice, or at least a part of it.

'Wait... Whose...whose voice was that?' Brenna's sluggish mind struggled to place it. She tried to open her eyes but was unable to so she continued to lay there, drifting in and out of consciousness. She was only about to catch snippets of the conversations that were being held around her.

"She seems to have several cracked ribs, a severely twisted ankle, multiple contusions, an injury to her head and now she's running a fever. I'm going to give her a shot of antibiotics, but other than that, keep her warm until she wakes up and then we can go from there. I will send the blood work to the lab and when she regains consciousness we will need to do a few x rays."

'Is he talking about me?' Brenna wondered silently as she regained enough consciousness to catch the last few sentence befoere going back into the world of darkness..

Brenna awoke to the feeling of fingers lightly touching her cheek as someone sat down on the bed beside her. She tried to turn her face into the comforting warmth but her head felt so heavy.

"How is she doing?" asked the male voice that was beside her, that she somehow felt that she recognized.

"... the same I guess.... Do you really think she's going to be okay?" asked another male voice from somehwere else in the room.

the voice beside her sighed into the room, "I hope she will be. The doctor seemed optimistic earlier when I talked to him outside. We have been able to get a nurse to come here every day to check on her since we are refusing to let them stick her in a hospital with people we don't know. Joon said that Brian has been on contact with th epolice but so far, no one has reported a missing female that resembles her."

There was a pause before Brenna heard the other voice say, "...Yeah... that's... that's good, right? Or is it? I don't even know how i feel anymore. I just wanted her to be okay, you know?"

"I know Jk, I know. It's okay." There was the sound of someone's back beign slapped and the Jk voice spoke, "Thanks Yoongi, i really needed to hear everything."

'Yoongi.... his....voice..... I remember it....."
Brenna slowly feels her consciousness slipping back into the darkness.

An entire night and day passed by while Brenna slept deeply, only coming in and out of consciousness for a short amount of time. During that time there were several male voices that came in and out. Sometimes a hand was placed on her forehead, sometimes it was a wet cloth. Throughout the process though, Brenna would slip back into the dreamless sleep quickly and there she would stay until the next time that she was roused by a sound or a touch.

Brenna felt herself finally coming up out of the heavy and insisstent fog that had taken over her existence. When she first woke up, she laid completely still, not daring to move just yet, keeping her eyes tightly closed and her breathing even. She listened closely to the sounds around her, straining her ears to see if she could hear any movement in the room. She didn't know why she felt the need to be so careful but.. something in her gut told her that this was the right way to go about things.
She could hear someone slightly snoring across the room but that was the only noise that she was able to make out.
She slowly opened her eyes, blinking them rapidly to clear her cloudy stale vision. The light coming in from the window curtains made her wince in pain as her eyes adjusted to being open for the first time in almost two days.
The room very slowly came into focus for her and that's when she realized that she did not recognize anything in the room. At all.
