EVELYN'S POV

I had a throbbing pain in my head and my whole body stung with aches and pains. My chest felt tight, like I couldn't breathe and I think I started hyperventilating. I felt a lot of pain in my legs and that's when I noticed the IVs in my arms and the blood that was pouring into me. I panicked and tried to move around. I then noticed someone next to me stirring. I remembered her to be Kim Burgess, my patrol partner. She had been beaten up, bruised , and sad. I wondered why the atmosphere of the room was somber as well. I also noticed Brian at the end of my bed asleep. And then next to him was someone it took me a second to remember. My sister. I hadn't seen my sister in 8 years, not since she ran away from home. She sent letters so we knew she was safe, but she never came back. I tried moving around a bit to get someone's attention. Burgess noticed and woke up Brian. Kim then got up and left the room.

"Dr Manning, she's awake!" Kim practically shouted. Dr Manning came bounding over.

"Okay Evelyn, I'm going to pull this tube out. It may feel a bit uncomfortable, but I need a nice big cough for me on 1, 2, 3" Dr Manning said as she pulled a tube out of my throat. I coughed and spluttered, it felt like I was choking but then it felt better. As soon as the tube was out I was hug attacked by Brian and Kim, but my sister, Grace, held back.

Me and my sister don't look like each other, because we have different dads. Her dad is blonde, mine is brunette. Her dad has green eyes, and my dad has brown eyes. Also Grace was 3 years younger then me. What surprised me the most is that she would resurface after all these years, just for me. After hugging me and squeezing me, Brian and Kim noticed the looks between me and Grace. They slowly left the room, leaving me to deal with talking to Grace, great. And so the madness begins.
