'Where... am I...?' a young man thought as he opened his eyes silver eyes to gaze around the pearl white room. He began to get up when his body started screaming back at him in pain. 'What... happened to me... I'm covered in bandages and my heads pounding like a drum... I can't even think straight' the young man thought as he laid back down and groaned.
The redheaded nurse sitting in a chair close by heard her patient beginning to stir and looked up from her clipboard in surprise. "Good morning. I'm actually rather surprised your already awake. Most people would be out for more than a few days if not over a week from the damage you've had to your head. You woke up in 4 days," the nurse said with a kind and nurturing stood up with her clipboard and walked over to the sink to grab a paper cup and filled it with water before walking back and handing it to him.
"Now I have some questions for you to answer to the best of your abilities alright. It's just routine procedure just to see how your doing. I'll just be asking yes or no question for now and if it's a question that needs a number just hold up your fingers alright", the kind nurse informed the young black haired boy with a smile. The young man drank the water before nodding to the nurse. "On a scale of 1 to 10 how much pain is your head in at this moment?" the nurse asked with a smile as she brought out her pen and prepared to write on her clipboard.
"8 or 9... ugh... I can barely think straight..." the young man said before sitting up. "Can you remember anything about yourself? Your name, family, why you were injured, anything at all?" "No nothing... what happened to me..." the young man groaned out. "A huntsman by the name of Qrow Branwen brought you in. He said he pulled you out of the rubble of a burning house while he was on a mission. He left almost as soon as he dropped you off at the hospital saying he needed to go finish his mission and promised to come back and check on you in a few days time make sure you were alright," she stated with a sympathetic smile before standing up and beginning to walk towards the door."I'll be back in a few minutes. I need to find Doctor Henry to finish your check up," the redheaded nurse said before walking out and leaving the young man to his thoughts.
'I should probably just lay down and wait... not much else I can do at the moment,' he thought with a sigh before finishing the last of his water and laying back down. A few minutes later the nurse came back followed by a man with brown hair that had began greying near his large side burns. He looked to be in his late 40's and as he offered you a large smile you noticed that his eyes seemed to crinkle at the edges into from years of smiling.
"Hello young man. I am glad your finally awake. I hope Mrs. Claire has been treating you well. You had quite the nasty cut on your head," he calmly spoke before grimacing and sitting down at the same seat Mrs. Claire had been sitting in previously.
"I have some bad news to tell you. The wound to your head was a rather bad one. It's caused you to lose your memories. Now, to what extent, we don't know but your memories should come back to you sooner or later. There's no telling how long it may take. Since it will take time for you regain your memories, the best thing for you to do now is to rest and let your wounds heal. Do you remember anything that can help us to contact someone you know, be it family or friends. Your loved ones will want to know what happened to you."
As the boy listened to what the doctor was saying, his frown began deepening until he was no longer even looking at the doctor, only staring at the sheets in front of him with a face full of sadness that seemed to crush the doctors hopes as he realized his patient couldn't remember anything. "Sorry doc... i don't remember anything... I can't even remember my name..." he grabbed his head as a flash of pain lanced through his head again. "Every time I try to remember something my head just starts hurting even worse... thanks for trying to help me though... I do appreciate it," the teenager managed to croak out with a sad smile as he looked back at the doctor.
"Alright young man. You should rest. I'll contact Qrow and tell him you've woken up. He should be here in a few days to explain how he found you. You should try to get some sleep for now. I have other patients I must attend him to," the kind doctor said before smiling once again, standing, and walking out the door. Mrs. Claire walked over to the bed before pointing out each of the buttons and explaining there functions to you.
Mrs. Claire noticed that the boy was rather tired so she followed after the doctor's example and left him to sleep as soon as she was finished explaining to him what was necessary. When the doctor and Mrs. Claire finally left the young man began staring at the ceiling trying to remember anything about himself before he slowly started nodding off. His eyes began inching closed, ever so slowly, as he began falling asleep listening to the steady beeping of the heart monitor plugged in next to him, no longer able to keep himself awake.
