When I was younger, Around the age of 12, I was rushed into a hospital. I had been attacked one day when I was playing near the woods. Now I lay in a hospital bed sick with fear and uncertainties. As I looked around I noticed the worry that tinged my mother and sister's eyes, mixed with their sleepy gaze, it almost felt like a dream. Once they had noticed I was up, that sleepyness dulled and was filled with gratitude and relief.

My sister, sam was the first one to pipe up as I attempted to sit up. "April- how are you feeling? Can you remember anything?"

What can I remember? I can only recall how much pain was focused on my right side and that I was at the edge of the forest. I didn't want to look back to my right, thats where it stood, so I tried to close my eyes and when I opened them they burned. My body felt numb, a pinprick sensation with pressure the whole way down. My vision was muddy but quickly went black.

The last thing I remember before waking up momentarily was a foggy blue colour, everything was clouded over in fog and something was wrapped around me, a small warm airy feeling. I felt my legs all taut and then I started falling. The ground rushed into my face. I closed my eyes again but when I opened them I was far from the leafy, dirt floor. This time, a nauseating feeling crept up from my throat, with the sound of squishing and splashing, I felt a worm like sensation on my side, along with it slightly stinging.

My vision soon fell black again as the falling sensation remained but the lathe worms that came around me became heavier and heavier. I opened my eyes and saw a thick lump and a face that wasn't human, it was simply paper white and featureless. I struggled to turn myself around, the worms were still wrapped around my body, slowing me down as I twisted and flailed.

The feeling had still lingered in the hospital bed as I faced my sister and mother, my legs Strawn over the edge of the soft mattress of the metal medical bed.

After a few moments I finally snapped back into reality, "I remember the pain, and being scared.. It- still hurts." My small hands traced over my right side. My torso was tightly wrapped and bandaged, along with my head and right leg, the bandage around my torso was slightly brownish red and smelled. Tears welled up in my eyes as I felt how dirty I really was, My hair was oily and my body felt achy and uncomfortable all at once, the reminiscent feeling of the crimson oozing goop that flowed from the hole in my body made me shiver.

Just when I thought I'd have a break down, my mother spoke, she seemed unsure at first but carried on with her question "Can you remember seeing anyone?"  Her voice sounded so soft and shaky I was able to take in the full word, it was her question.  
"No, I haven't. I've tried to, but I couldn't make out any features. All I know is, that things 'face' was as white as paper."

Her expression was a mix of emotions, bewilderment and sadness, she took me aside "Here you go. The nurse wanted me to give you these once you woke up and if you were feeling any better, I've missed you so much."

  I tucked the scarf, red as can be  and new cloths -mainly a short blue sun dress with under my arm and went into the bathroom to throw myself into the new comforting clothes.  Unfortunately my legs wouldn't allow it, I sprained my right leg, my left being just as sore as my arms, and my side was itching with pain. I somehow managed to get to the bathroom in my hospital gown with the help of my sister who struggled to keep me straight, my mother looked on with guilt as she had sat filling out some paper work I had not noticed till now.
