My Second Chance

1

As the sun rose into the sky, and the world awoke from its slumber, she sat in a hospital bed. She viewed the skyline of the city through her window, watching the sun rise and seeing light flooding the sky as birds and planes pass from her view.

As the small girl observed the world through the small opening, she only could think of the previous events that lead her to her present location.

The smell of cleaning product stung the young girl's nose as she thought. Although smell of the hospital didn't bother the girl, one thing did. She had a question that was eating her alive throughout her past 2 days within the hospital.

'What are their names?'

'I don't even know the names of the people who saved me'

As she thought about her question she then went through all of the memories of the three people in question. The blond haired one that blocked the small bullet from hitting her, the one with glasses that got really hurt, and the green haired one that had a warm embrace, who defeated Overhaul in the end.

As she contemplated what their names could be she continued to look out of the hospital room's window, no longer paying attention to the skyline, but rather just gazing upon all of the surrounding buildings, as well as the tall ones that were far in the distance.

'Click'

     The small girl turned her head to find what made the noise. As she looked she saw the door opening, causing a wave of panic to consume her.

'Please don't be him'

'Please don't be him'

'Please don't be him'

     Eri's mind raced as the panic consumed her while the door was still opening. As the door widened revealing the person that came from the long hallway filled with doors that lead to other patients.

     Eri huddled into the corner of the bed that was the furthest from the door, slightly slamming her back against the corner where the headboard and the small side railing connected.

Once the door opened, a small woman with hazelnut hair that was tied back in a ponytail was revealed. She had a happy expression while she entered the room.

The woman's face then contorted into a face of concern when her eyes landed upon Eri's small body curled up into the corner of her bed while mumbling panicked phrases too softly spoken for the young woman to hear.

The woman quickly sprung into action without a second of hesitation. She started to slowly walk towards Eri while telling the younger female with every step, "I'm not here to hurt you. You are safe here."

As the brown haired woman continued to approach, Eri started to calm down realizing that the woman wasn't here to harm her. Of course Eri still didn't trust the woman, but had a sense of safety knowing that she couldn't be hurt within the large walls of the hospital.

"Who are you" The shaken up girl questioned the woman with a doctors uniform.

"I'm Dr. Shakona, Eri." The woman said. "I'm here to heal your wounds." She continued.

Eri looked up at Dr. Shakona with a questioning gaze. "Really?" Eri asked. Dr. Shakona nodded with a small smile in response.

"You aren't working for him, are you?" The girl asked with a shaky voice.

The woman's eyes widened in slight shock at the girl's assumption. "No of course not hunny!" She said trying to reassure the girl.

"I'm sure you have many questions that you would like to ask," Dr Shakona said. Eri nodded. "Would you like for me to answer them?" The Doctor continued.

"Y-Yes" Eri confirmed.

"What were their names?" She asked, slightly excited, yet nervous, for the doctor's response.

"Oh! The people who rescued you! Their names are-"

"CRASH"
