Light leaked through the her eyelids. She didn't remember much. As she regained her vision, her senses sprang into action.

First, her smell. She could smell the sweet smell of luscious, red blood. She could smell flowers on a table nearby. She could smell other people. And the clinical equipment used in a hospital.

Then, her hearing. She could hear people shouting her name.
"May? May? May, can you hear me? We are trying to help you. Please wake up. SHE'S COMING TO!!!" She could hear screams from other rooms and Katie's parents worrying. And Hanna, telling her parents what happened, with the help of Courtney. She heard doctors fussing over her, and her parents crying.

And, finally, her sight. Light flooded through the torches, immediately blinding her. She squinted and struggled to see. The lights went out and she could see. She looked 'round. Courtney and Hanna were sat up, in their bed, opposite her, and Katie laid in the bed on her right, unconscious. On her left, Ella, comforting Katie's parents, telling them that she would be OK.

She sat up. Slowly, and fell down a few times, due to her concussion. On her final try, May managed to gain enough energy to heave herself up.
"Whoa. Head rush," She felt dizzy, to Hanna and Courtney's delight, because the girls jumped up and ran over to May, throwing her back onto her bed.
"May!!! Your ok!!!" They screamed, into her ears.
"Yes, but not if you don't stop screaming!"
"Sorry. Katie won't wake up. I worry May. What is I killed her? I could have. I could have killed you. I can't lose her. Not as well. Oh May..." Tears streamed down Hanna's face, as she began to sit up.
"No. No you didn't. You know why? Because it wasn't you. You were hit. Whoever  hit us, is trying to make you feel bad. It's ok. She's alive. Ok. Say it with me. She is ok. KATIE is ok. Ok?"
"What is she isn't?"

"Visiting hours are over. Please leave. Let the girls rest" boomed out the speakers, inside the room. As the parents and Ella left, the girls were told by the doctors that Katie was ok and that she only had a broken leg. She would come to momentarily and, with that, they left, leaving the girls alone to wonder.

"What's going on?"
"KATIE!!!!" The girls screamed with delight and ran over to her, pressing her against the bed. She was ok. And shattered. After apologies and explanations, the doctors came in for bed. As the girls got in bed, they were all in deep thought. Who really hated the girls enough to almost kill them?

As the girls fell asleep, one by one, the doorknob to the room creaked quietly as it turned. The door creaked open, leaving a crack in the doorway, letting light in.

And a hand in a black gloved, pushed open the door, with one hand, the other held a pen.

A pen that would sign the a cast...
