King wakes with a gasp, coughing hard as she is almost forced back into her body. Her body? Wait... Her hands hit against something and she tries to remain calm as she feels around in the dark. Okay... Okay she's in a coffin.
"What-Why?" She whispers, gasping as her side suddenly hurts. Her fingers feel over it and she feels the wound, fresh as when she first did it and wet with blood. How? How!!
She closes her eyes. "You can do this, you've got this." She whispers, placing both hands on the roof of the small space she's in. She closes her eyes and focuses, hearing the wood creak and split before she pushes through, clawing her way through the dirt. She breathes heavy and lays back, looking at the dark sky.
What day is it?
What year is it?
Where is she?
She sits up, one hand on her side, and looks around. "Mom..." She breathes, realising her grave is beside her mom's grave. Ohio. They buried her in the one spot she wanted. She looks to her own grave and sees the headstone.
There's fresh flowers, so that means someone's been here recently. She takes a deep breath and forces herself to stand, crying out a little. "Motherfucker!" She gasps, holding her side. "N-never again!" She mutters. Don't be an idiot and stab yourself to kill your mom.
She only makes it a few steps before she collapses, passing out.
When she wakes, she hears the familiar beeping of machines. She groans a little and looks over, surprised to see a boy sat beside her. "Hmm." She groans.

He looks up. "Holy shit you're alive... Woah."
She takes a moment to respond, gathering her surroundings. "Who... Are you?"
"I'm Eli, Lija, Elijah. Whatever you wanna call me. And you're a dead girl, apparently." He says, grinning. "I got syched when I saw you laid beside that open grave, it looked like you just crawled out of it. Apparently the girl buried there has been dead like years or something."
Years? She's been dead years? She blinks slowly and looks around, looking down at herself. Lija notices. "Oh yeah, you were mugged or something. They stabbed you. You had nothing on you, no ID, no phone, nothing." He shrugs. "I'm real glad your okay though, I want the first body I find to be really dead."
"You're... weird." She finally says, shaking her head.
He grins and shrugs. "It's whatever. What's your name? I really don't think you're a Jane Doe."
