I opened my eyes trying to sit up. Where was I? What happened?  My whole body was completely stiff. Am I dead?  I looked over at my arms, there were IV's in my arms and tubes coming out of my stomach. I tensed up immediately. I looked around the room  beginning to panic. I was in the hospital, but I saw no one there.

All of a sudden a monitor went of. I pulled at the wires attached to me. Wait. I could hear it. I could hear the heart monitor beeping. This is impossible.

A doctor rushed in. I looked up at him.

He came over to me seeming shocked. "Hey calm down," he used sign language to communicate with me. He spoke as well. But I could hear him just fine.

I looked at him completely in shock. Never in a million years I thought this could happen

"Breathe," He signs.

I took a deep breath leaning back against the bed.

"I.... I can hear," I looked in shock.

"You can hear?" He said confused. "Your charts show you..."

"Are deaf.. I know. I know. I was. I can hear," I said listening to my own voice.

"You can talk..." he said.

I looked at him confused. "What do you mean?"

"You were in a coma for 18 months... you're organs were failing," he said. "We didn't know how much longer you would last."

"What?!" I gasped in shock. "No that's impossible,"

He sighs sitting down next to me. "I know it's a bit much to take in," he said sitting. "Can you tell me what was the last thing you remember?"

I looked down. "I don't remember.... I collapsed... and then I woke up here... I.... it... I... I was out for 18 months?!" I gasped.

He sighs. "Yes," he said. "Do you remember what happened do your back? Did someone hurt you?" He asked.

I looked down tensing remembering what happened. I nodded once.

"Who hurt you?" he asked taking notes.

"A man," I whispered my mind foggy. "They kidnapped me. They wouldn't let me go. I screamed and they... they hurt me," I whispered.

He nodded. "Where did they take you," he said.

"It was a castle... I went on a tour for school... my friends. They are all dead. These people killed them. They bit me... and drank my blood. I turned around and and they were all dead. Everyone... I don't know. There were some... vampires," I breathe heavily.

"Calm down," he touched my arm. "I'm going to get you something to calm down," he said.

"Please call my mom. I want my mom," I whispered my body shaking.

"The number we tried was dead. Do you have another number?" He asked.

"My phone..." I said.

"You were found naked," he said looking down.

I breathe heavily panicking. "I'm going to call Alec... alright," he said.

"NO!" I cried out.

He paged a nurse who came in with some medication and put it in through my IV. "Alright Izzy. Calm down sweetie," the nurse said taking my hand. "You're okay," she said.

I breathe heavily. "Don't let him come..." I looked up at her with fear in my eyes.

I began to feel very groggy, and I struggled to stay awake. The nurse held my hand until I fell asleep.
