Sighing again as I sat on the sterile bed I looked at the clock, I had finally gotten home after nearly twenty seven hours of nonstop travel; the bus had broke down and I had been far too scared to wait for the backup. Hitching hiking my way home wasn't the way I wanted to go but it was the route my mind took first as it went into overdrive, and after getting the spare key from my neighbours I had finally collapsed onto my own living room rug; not caring how much I smelled and hurt from the adrenaline fuelled travel. But the thought brought me back to the place I found myself in now, sitting in the local hospital after promising my father to get checked over; we had spoken a few times since I returned home nine days ago. But yesterday news had made it home of my friends... being missing and me being the sole survivor of our ordeal, and my parents had accepted nothing less than a full doctors report on my condition; threatening to cut me off and drag me to travel with them again. I had yet to return to school, they had given me some time to collect myself and sent work home for me; not that I had the will in me to make myself touch it for now. I had relented to my father this morning and now after being prodded and probed, as well as edging around and evading questions on the various scars I had and newly healed injuries the medical staff had found I was egger to get home; I was clean from the shower they let me take and my bed was practically calling my name. When the low click of a door came my head moved up watching the young female doctor cautiously, I knew she couldn't force me to stay in their care if they; I wasn't sick after all and other than my non present parents no one had the authority. The sound of her shoes lightly clicking along with her washed down green scrubs and off white lab coat were all that filled the room for a moment, I could feel her faded jade eyes on me as he messily pulled back brown hair swayed with her movements; the look in her eyes between concern and pity. Gripping the edge of the bed I just watched her, before all this happened I might have been unsure or intimidated by her verdict; but now she was little more than a person doing her job and keeping me from a warm bed.


"I know you have already made it clear you do not wish to stay in for observations or more tests, but I really would advise you reconsider Miss-" Shaking my head vigorously at her determined tone, she was talking to me like a obstinate child and I wasn't going to sit and listen to her as if anything she said would make a difference; steeling my voice while still trying to sound respectful I stopped the idea before the doctor thought she would win me over. "With all due respect Dr. White I know my own body and I assure you I am fine, you said yourself I am healing with no sign of infections or complication; I am not having any more tests! So please just hand me my copy of your results and let me go home, I'm tired and just want to get some rest" The fact I would find no rest in sleep remained silent in my own head, a shiver running along my skin as a memory of the dreams of Karn's voice and touch running along my skin; each night taking any rest from my sleep as I either woke drenched in sweat or crying out... but always with a burning heat coursing through me with frightening familiarity. I hated that despite getting away from him that he still held such a hold over me, but forced myself to focus on the woman standing in front of me again; she was frowning but after releasing something from her chart she finally handed me a set of stapled together forms. Taking them I glanced finding copies of my results and a referral to theory, it took a lot of effort not to tear the last one off and throw it away right here and now; but I knew if I did that I wouldn't get out of here any time soon. Standing up I headed silently to the door and pulled it open with little effort needed, stopping only as the doctors quiet and concerned voice came through the doorway I had just passed before I could close it. "I don't know what happened to you out there, but whatever happened you survived it; there is no shame in asking for help recovering now" I didn't look back not sure if I wanted to see if her eyes were filled with pity or not, she was right I had survived what happened but at what cost? I had nightmares on what might of happened to everyone who helped me to get away, what happened to my friends after they met their ends at the Karn's claws; or if the man who helped me lived after the accident. Cora's brother had come home before it happened thank god but I still doubted the reports that it was an accident in the first place, but I had forced myself back into getting myself cleaned up and convincing my parents I was fine rather than dwelling on it; knowing there was nothing I could do. Moving into the corridor I shut the door behind me not trusting myself to keep a steady voice if I answered, moving down the busting corridor avoiding the various people around me as I headed to the bus stop; despite knowing I would get no sleep I still wanted to go home and rest. Pulling my arms around myself to help myself avoid the slight chill as I finally got out of the sterile busting building I looked up noting how few people were out, it was getting late but there had been a increase in crime recently if the papers and news were to be believed; after everything that had happened thought the idea of someone trying to take what little cash I had on me was not scary in the least.
