Ember looked around, once again she had woken in a strange place. This time however monitors beeped and machines hummed. The air smelt of germ-x, bleach and other sanitary chemicals. The hospital room was dark and cold, she sat up stretching slightly. As she stretched her back ached, "Ow! Damnit!"
My hand reached down to the stitched and bandaged wound. I glanced towards the window sighing. "At least we got a window this time." The voice in my head stated bluntly. A t.v hung on the wall in front of the hospital bed, brown cabinets surrounded it, a painting of a forest hung to the left, slightly crooked. As I looked around the small room my hands wandered to the IV line poking out from my wrist. "What happened?"
"You were stabbed." A ominous voice spoke from a darkened corner. "You got lucky. He barely missed your spine. Although you almost bled out on the way here."
"Where's Bella? Kayla? Where are they?"
"They're sleeping in the waiting room."
I could see his figure rise slowly from a chair, his tall, muscular body seemed to only be a shadow. His figure passed through the door as he left. We were alone in the room. "Well he was strange." I giggle softly, running a hand through my messy hair trying to smooth it out.
The door bursts open a loud bang rang through the halls as Kayla ran in tackling me to the bed crying hard, "Don't you ever leave me again! I was so worried!" Every word broken and cracked as she cried. Bella walked in awkwardly as she stood in a corner. Sathe and Torelyn following her waiting for their turn to hug me.
As Sathe's arms wrapped around me I could feel something different about him, a burning pain. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine, dreary." He choked out. His voice a little broken.
Torelyn shoved him out of the way and hugged me to her, kissing me gently on the forehead. She blushed,"He's just missed you is all."
"I see." He was hiding something and I was hell bent on finding out. He's never acted like this before. What could it possibly be? My mind wandered back to the man who'd just left. "Who was that?"
"You don't know him?" Sathe stared at me, Bella's eyes were on him watching him carefully as if she was watching a movie looking into his past.
