I woke up to a beeping noise, I squinted my eyes as I opened them slightly, adjusting to the lights above me. When I opened my eyes fully I observed my surroundings, I was in a hospital bed, as I turned to my left there was an older person in the bed beside me, I couldn't see their face because it was all bandaged up. "Hey, are you awake?" I said in a hoarse voice, I waited for an answer but I never got one. Disappointed, I turned my head to the right but I turned it too hard, As I whipped my head around, My neck felt as if it had been sliced open, I hissed in pain as I carefully touched my neck, my neck felt like it had lots of bruises and newly fresh cuts! I pulled my hand away from my neck gently, only to be greeted by dark red blood..It scared me, but I just simply wiped it off on my hospital gown, "What happened?" I asked myself, trying to rack my brain of what had happened, I tried to get up and pace the room but as soon as I stood upwards I came falling to the ground. "What the heck?!" I said as I lifted my head from the cold floor. I looked at my legs and noticed that they were both In casts, 'Why did I not see that before?!' I think to myself, I sighed and started crawling on the floor, trying to get to a mirror. As I rounded the end of my hospital bed I saw something shiny under the other patients bed, "Huh? what's that?" I said as I crawled over towards it. I picked it up and it was just what I was looking for, A mirror! I took the mirror and looked at myself, I had bandages on my head, legs, and arms, a broken nose, and a busted lip. "Who did this?!" I asked out loud. As soon as I finished that sentence, a doctor with luscious Auburn hair and Green eyes came in, "Louise? what are you doing down there?" She asked me in a joyful tone, I turned around and looked at her with pure horror, "What happened to me??" I asked frantically, Her fun smile turned into a sad frown, "Let me get you back on your bed, then ill tell you" she said as she carefully walked over to me and picked me up off of the tiled floor and laid me in my bed, after she made sure I was comfortable, she sat at the end of my bed. "Your parents are bad people Louise.." she explained quietly, "They started to hurt you after you had passed out, that's probably why you don't remember anything" She said as she held me hand, she looked generally sorry for me..my eyed threatened to start tearing up, but I wouldn't let it happen. "So, who's that?" I said trying to lighten the mood that was clearly full of sadness, She looked over to the person who had a bandaged up face and teared up a bit, "That's Layne...They....They hurt him badly..It's much worse than your injuries, and we don't know if he will make it since his wounds are so severe.." she explained sadly. I. WAS. SHOOK. "what do you mean?? He has to make it! Who will take care of me?!" I asked panicking, I couldn't manage on my own! I'm only 7! How was a child supposed to fend for herself?! "Don't worry Louise, you can live with me!" She said as she gave me a genuine smile. "But...I barley know you, how would I live with someone I don't even know?" I asked a bit suspiciously, "Is that all your worried about?" she questioned while smiling even wider, I nodded slowly and she laughed a whole hearted laugh, "Aww, your too cute, But if that's what your really want to know then I guess we could get to know each other better" she said as she looked me in the eyes "My name is Dr. Winters but, My real name is Saria, I am 26, I am married, I don't have kids, I have 3 bunnies named Cotton, Buttons, and Nala, and I work as a Doctor, as you can tell by my coat!" she said happily as she showed me her coat "Ah, okay, but who is your husband?" I asked curiously, she tried to suppress a blush from creeping on her face but failed to do so. "Uh, well...I don't have a husband" she said shyly, "But you said you were married!" I said thinking she was lying. She blushed a deep shade of red, "I have a wife" she stated, My eyes widened, "What? but that doesn't make any sense" I said confusedly, Aren't it supposed to be just boy and girl? "Your too young to understand Lou, I'll tell you when your older" She said while giving me an eye smile "Wait but I never agreed to go with you" I said folding my arms gently so I don't hurt my arm. "Oh I'm sorry, where are my manners! would you like to live with me?" she asked, "I don't know yet, I need a few minutes to think about it" I said firmly, she sighed and nodded "Okay, it's about time for me to clock out anyways so after I do that and change my clothes, will you have an answer?" She asked hopefully "How long will that take?" I asked, she grew quiet for a moment before shrugging, "i don't know, probably about 10-15 minutes" I smiled a little, and nodded "Perfect!" she smiled as well and left the room for a t 'Do I want to stay here or do I want to go?' I thought through all the pros and cons of staying and leaving and leaving always won, after 10 minutes she came back in a white dress shirt that was tucked into a black skirt 'She looks really pretty' I thought, "So...Do you have a decision?" she asked me while shifting from foot to foot, "Yes and I have decided I'll go with you! But when will I be out of the hospital?" I asked as reality hit me, I. Can't. Walk. She looked at me curiously then giggled a bit, "I knew you would ask me that, Your wounds aren't as severe as Layne's so you can be dispatched early, but for the walking part you'll have to come back here everyday for the next 3 or 4 weeks" she said as she brought in a wheelchair that was sitting right outside the door, 'Wow she's smart!' I thought as she rolled the wheelchair up to my bed, she picked me up and sat me in the chair, "Hold on tight because this one doesn't have a seatbelt" she said as she pushed me out of the room, I sat back and watched all the other patients walk by, As I continued to watch them I yawned. "Are you tired? I can carry if you like" She said in a soft tone, I was tired but all I could do was shake my head no, "Okay but the offer is still on the table" she said as she continued to push me, It got so quiet I didn't even realise I had fallen asleep...
