𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞?

Everything hurts. I woke up in a bland room with lights everywhere. I look down and I'm wearing a blue hospital gown. My arm is in a cast and I am wired up to an IV drip; there is also this strange ringing in my ears. The last thing I remember was Wednesday asking if I can hear her then everyone running towards me. I sit myself up properly in the bed before reaching over towards my bedside table and grabbing my alarm clock.

11:07am

I've been out all night at the very least. I have no idea what day it is or where I am. I think it's the local hospital but it's anyone's guess. I turn towards my left and there is a table with get well soon cards spread across it. Suddenly a nurse walks into my room holding some forms. I sheepishly wave at her and she waves back before leaving and heading for the front desk. I try and get out of the uncomfortable bed but my legs hurt. I stand up but fall over onto the window ledge, with my one arm I push myself up and lean on the ledge. I stare out the window for a few minutes before a voice breaks my trance.

"Miss Haven?" I turn around and see a different nurse standing in the doorway.

"How long have I been here?" That's one of two questions I need answered.

"A month Ma'am." A whole Month? But.. No that can't be right, that night couldn't have been enough. There's no way.

"Ok," a lump starts to form in my throat, "thank you."

"Would you like me to contact anyone and let them know you are awake?"

"I'll handle it thank you. But while you are here can I have a round of toast and a cup of tea? My stomach thinks my throats cut."

"Sure." The nurse walk away and I fall back on top of my bed. I rummage through random items before finding my phone. I franticly unlock it and scroll through my contacts in search of only one person.

"Rowan?"

"Wait what"

"You're awake?"

"I think"

"Enid if you're joking again I swear"

"Wdym"

"It's valerie"

"I'm omw"

"Can u bring me a charger my phones on 9 percent"

What did he mean my if I'm Enid and if I'm joking? I'll message her next.

"Yo furry"

"piss off"

"what hold on"

"VALERIE?"

"YOU'RE AWAKE?"

"TF?"

"No she died this is the grim reaper letting you know sorry for your loss x"

"Wait fr?"

"RIP Val gone but never forgotten😭"

"Enid you are too gullible I'm awake come over"

"Oh"

Honestly, she is stupid sometimes. I've got time to kill so I fall back over to window. ROWAN IS ALREADY HERE? HOW IT'S BEEN 3 SECONDS?! I fall back into bed and just lay there until he gets up the stairs.

"Val?" I try and look at him while lying down the opposite way but it isn't working so I sit up and face him. He runs over towards me and puts his arms around me and starts softly crying. I'm trying so hard to not ascend into heaven like that kid from Nativity. It's only a few seconds after he hugs me that I realize the pain it's causing me. He is hugging me so tight to the point where it's making me even more sore. I let out a small yelp and he quickly pulls himself away.

"Sorry I," he takes off his glasses and wipes them, "I was just um w-worried; you passed out and we all thought you died, if it wasn't for Wednesday you probably would've."

"Wednesday? How come?" Rowan sits down on a chair beside my bed. I swing around to face him and cross my legs.

"After you passed out she helped you. She had bandages in her pockets and bandaged up your face." My face? What about my face?

"One second." I grab my phone and open my camera. I don't recognize the person staring back at me. She has a large scar across her face and shorter messier hair. I cover my mouth and move the camera down towards my neck. There is more scars. I cover my mouth. "No, no, no. Shit."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Rowan says in a panic.

"My face, that's what's wrong Rowan. I'm fucking hideous now."

"You're not hideous, no you could never be hideous." My heart just flew out of my chest. I am currently in the same room as the damn Rizzerd of Oz. I look over at him at we hold eye contact for a couple of seconds before two other people appear in the doorway. It's Enid and Wednesday.

"VAL!" She charges towards me and flops on top of me.

"AH SHIT!" I swear my back is only after breaking.

"SORRY I'M JUST REALLY HAPPY," she steps back and does her little happy claps, "oooo Rowan's hereee!" Should've expected this.

"Enid shut up." I fall back and and put my hands over my face. Rowan does the same. Wednesday stands in the doorway and stays quiet throughout this exchange.

"Enid, Rowan, could you two leave us alone for a minute?" Wednesday speaks. Without saying anything Enid and Rowan both leave. Wednesday walks over towards my bed and stands over me.

"What?"

"Why'd you do it. Why'd you jump in front of Rowan after you saw him trying to kill me?" Her expression is stone cold and never changes.

"I don't know, instinct?"

"What did the monster want with Rowan?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"Why did you follow him into the woods?" She keeps rapidly asking question after question.

"Gut feeling? Something just didn't feel right."

"Where'd you get those powers? They aren't in any books or any online sources."

"I don't feel-"

"Answer the question." I feel like if I don't answer her question she'll kill me.

"A few years ago I was experimented on. I'm not answering anymore questions." I sit up straight and wave for Enid and Rowan to come back in. Enid skips in and Rowan keeps his head down with his hands in his pockets.

"ROWAN LIKES YOUU" Enid sings as she sits on the end of my bed.

"Enid!" Rowan hisses and lifting up his head just for it to be completely red.

"It's no secret! It's sooooo obvious!" Wednesday walks out of the room without acknowledging anyone.
