• Edith •

I come to and see a man, he seems so familiar but I don't know him. I blackout again.

I can hear people talking around me, my eyes shoot open. I see an android nurse in the door she smiles to me. My head starts to pound, this isn't right, this isn't my reality, is it? In her automated voice she says, "Edith? Hello I'm Eve your android nurse assigned specifically to you!" I try to reply but can't find the words to say. "Edith!" I hear a female human voice say, I turn my head and feel relief and I recognize the woman in the door frame. "M....m-mom?" I horsily say in shock, she just grins with an expression of joy all over her face. She runs to me and hugs me squeezing me until I feel as if I might burst. I take in her warmth until Eve speaks, "I'm delighted for you both! But I must take Edith's vitals and give her the medication." My mother leaves me and Eve takes my vitals and gives me my medication. Soon my mother returns with an older man I assume to be my doctor. "How are you feeling my dear?" He questions me a weird grin plastered on his face, "I... I feel okay." I mumble and he just turns to my mother whispering something. She nods and he leaves my room. I dont know why but I got a very erie vibe from that doctor. Something about him about this place just doesn't feel right, I shrug it off and decide to ask Eve a question. "Eve? How long have I been unconscious?" She stands still for a few moments processing my question then answers saying, "you've been in a coma for about two years, is that all?" She questions me. I begin to answer but get an intense headache throughout my entire head. The pain begins to increase until I feel as if I might pass out any minute, that's when I hear Eve calling to someone . "Sir!" I hear her shout, "Her vitals! She's crashing, I need a crash cart. Stat!" She yelled to a male android I believe he's a nurse too. Out of my blurred vision I watch doctors fill my room and I blackout. As I'm coming too my vision blurs in and out and I faintly hear the weird doctor from before yelling at my mother. "You could have told me they were connected! He screamed. What was he talking about? Connected? Who? My head begins pounding again and my vision goes out again,and I'm left with darkness and questions.
