Beep... Beep... Beep...

That was the first sound Brianna heard as she stirred back from the abyss of darkness.

She tried to open her eyes but as soon as she did she closed them again. The light was too bright, too bright for the eyes that had been in the dark for so long.

She tried to open them once again, this time slowly. Her vision was blurry but only for a brief moment.

Confusion was the first emotion she felt as the unfamiliar white ceiling came into focus.

Where was she?

Before she could apprehend the situation she was in, she heard a door slide open.

"Bri? Oh my god! Bri you're awake."

"Mom? Mom is that you?" Brianna asked, her voice barely a whisper. She turned to move her head in the direction of the squeal but her body didn't obey her command.

"Yes, baby it's me. I'm so glad your awake. You're finally awake," Jane sobbed as she rushed towards her daughter's side, holding Brianna's hand in hers. Tears started to flow down her cheeks as she said a silent prayer to the gods for bringing her back.

"Where am I mom? Why are you crying?" Brianna continued, confused at the sudden burst of emotion her mom showed. She had never seen her break down like this. Jane had always been a calm and collected woman. So what happened to her?

"It's nothing Bri. I'm just happy. So happy you came back to me," Jane continued to sob but the smile on her face said she wasn't sad.

Before Brianna could ask any more questions she heard a bunch of foot steps approach her.

"Doctor! My baby girl has woken up. This means everything will be alright won't it?" Jane asked a tall blonde looking man who leaned in to have a look at Brianna.

I'm in a hospital? Brianna thought as a slight frown settled on her brows.

"Mrs. Edner, please wait outside so we can exam Brianna," came another voice. This time it was that of a woman. Brianna couldn't see her since she was unable to move her neck.

"Everything is going to be alright Bri," Jane said with a smile. Her tear stained face along with her new formed wrinkles and dark circles made her look twice her age.

Brianna heard the footsteps of her mother get fainter and fainter every second and soon they were gone.

"Hello Brianna. My name is Dr. James Corbin. How are you feeling?" Asked the tall blonde man. Brianna looked at him, not sure what to say.

"I... Why am I here?" Brianna asked. No one seemed to speak. Even though Brianna couldn't see everyone present in the room she could feel the tense atmosphere that had set in. It made her uncomfortable.

Did something bad happen?

"Um... You don't remember anything at all?" Dr. James asked, his faced laced with concern.

"No, I don't think so," Brianna said, trying to recollect her memories.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Dr. James asked, taking a seat beside Brianna.
