Author's Note: Hey everybody, EnoKureno is back in business! I've posted the odd fic here and there, but generally I've been in hiding. School was rough, but it's over, mostly. I still have few kinks to work out. One of my teachers messed up my grade, so I'm working with him to fix it. So, during the period of time that I was MIA from FF, I gained a love for House, especially Hilson. I love Hugh Laurie (anyone seen Blackadder or Jeeves and Wooster? He's genius in them) and I love Robert Sean Leonard (Dead Poets Society made me cry). So I decided, for my next big story, I would do a full length Hilson fanfic.
Numb
Prologue
Giggles and whispers echoed around the classroom as all of the sixth-graders huddled around a handsome, dark haired boy's desk, admiring his new Shocker Pen. When a button was pressed, the end of the pen gave a sharp zap to whoever was touching it. The teacher dozed at her desk, unaware of the goings on. It was her lunch break and she had been kept awake all night by her new baby. She didn't think the students would get into too much trouble, they were only eleven. As the pen was passed around the circle, one girl refused to try it, backing away from her friend as she was attempted to shock her.
"Come on, Kota. It's fun, it doesn't hurt that much!"
With that said, her friend pressed the tip to the girl's palm, expecting her to jump or squeal like the rest. All she got was a look of confusion, then horror, which turned to a wild panic.
"Alice, I can't feel it. I can't feel my arm!"
The other kids in the circle pressed forward, clamoring for a look at the panicking girl. She felt them closing in, then, all of a sudden, nothing. Blackness took over.
The teacher awoke as her pupils started screaming, leaping to her feet with the grace of a one-legged platypus in the mud. A chill took over her when she saw one of her students, Dakota Rayne, seizing on the floor, as the others looked on.
"Get the nurse, somebody get the goddamned nurse!" The teacher shrieked, pushing though the crowd to reach the girl. Alice, tears streaming down her face, fled outside and down the hall, reaching the nurse's office within minutes.
"Nurse Walters! Nurse Walters! You gotta come quick! Kota's dying!"
