"Beep, beep. beep, beep"
Alarm?
Phone?
No, the beeping was to slow to be either of those things. I moved my head to the left and felt a wave of pain exploding down my head. I brought my hand up and was met with the soft padding of gauze.
"She's awake " I feel a cool hand touch my arm, I open my eyes blinking a few times to clear my vision. Leaning over me was a doctor with shaggy blond hair and light green eyes, he smiled at me flashing straight white teeth.
"Hello, I'm , can you tell me your name? he asked quietly as if not to startle me
I opened my mouth and closed it again, it feels like I have cotton balls stuffed in my mouth. i swallowed then opened my mouth again "Beatrice Prior" I told him.
He smiled again and turns to his left. "I'll be back in ten minutes, make sure she's not listed as a Jane Doe anymore" I turned my head again and see a nurse, she had dark skin and short pixie cut, she smiled at me and nods hello. The doctor walks out of the room and closes the door of the hospital room behind him, I look back up at the nurse as she walks to my monitors "Everything looks fine, you've been pretty stable. I'm Christina by the way" she says
"Can I get water please, and maybe something for the pain my head is hurting a lot" I tell her
"Sure" she fiddles with my IV line "You'll be getting medication more regularly now" I feel a small rush of liquid pour in through the Iv in my hand "Thank you"
"So said your name was Beatrice?" she asks
"Tris actually, I go by Tris" I say it so suddenly I don't even know where the thought comes from, but it has to be true if not how else could I get the idea. "How did I get here Christina" she purses her lips "I think you better wait for to come back, I'm going to go and fix your chart now" she smiles at me taking my chart with her and walks out of the room
I look up at the ceiling and stare at the white tiles, there's not much to look at the room is pretty empty beside the bed and the monitors. I try to think back see if I can remember how i got here, but I can't remember anything. I don't even remember coming to a hospital. I feel strangely calm considering the situation I'm in. It's probably the weds.
I hear my door open again and look over walks in with someone behind him, he's wearing dark blue... a police officer? What would a Dauntless Police officer want with me.
"Beatrice, this is-"
"Tris, it's tris. I go by Tris" I say interrupting him
"Well then Tris this is Officer Eaton. He was some questions for you" replies
I look over at Officer Eaton he nods curtly at me then looks over at the doctor.
"I'll be right outside Tris, just call if you need anything or push the nurse call button and Christina will come" walks out, leaving the door ajar
"Tris was it?" I look back over at Officer Eaton, he stands waiting for me to answer.
"Yes" I say
"Well Tris can you tell me your full name and what year you were born in?" he asks me.
I stay quiet trying to think, but honestly all i can really do is well look at him, he's tall at least six feet short dark hair and blue eyes so dark if you didn't look closely enough you'd think they were black. He's quite attractive actually. He clears his throat and I snap out of my thoughts.
"Um no" I say averting his eyes feeling slightly embarrassed, he probably noticed me staring him "I don't remember much actually. I know my name is Beatrice Prior and that I get called Tris but that's about it really" I tell him.
"So you don't remember how you got here then: he asks
"No, do you know?" I ask him
"I've been the police officer on your case ever since you were found and admitted into the hospital" he says.
Found and admitted? What on earth happened to me. "You were found badly beaten on Michigan Avenue, all of your possessions if you had any that is were missing presumably stolen. When you came to the hospital you were put into a medically induced coma due to your injuries. Your doctor can tell you more about the medical aspects that's about all I know. I've been investigating your case since I found you but haven't had any leads really. Can you think of anyone that could have wanted to hurt you Tris?" he asks
"No" I tell him, that's about all I can think of saying I'm still trying to process all the information he's given me. I was found half dead on the street? How,how could that happen.
"Well here's my card, if you remember anything or something comes to mind just give me a call. Ask for Four you'll be transferred over to me, they'll know who I am" I take his card and look up at him "Four? Odd name isn't it? I ask him "Coming from a girl who calls her self Tris?" he says mockingly but there's a slightly grin tugging at his face "It's a nickname, I caught four guys during my first week of being a newbie police officer, people started to call me four and it just kinda stuck" he says
"Oh, cool" I tell him.
"Yeah well, bye Tris" he walks over and opens the door and looks back at me "remember if you need anything just gimme a call" I nod and watch as he walks out. I watch him through the window in my room, he walks over to a desk and taps my doctor on the shoulder they both look over at me and begin to have a conversation. I turn my head around and pull the covers up around me.
Beatrice Prior, found and beaten on Michigan Avenue. Is that really all the information I have to go on about myself? I feel tears well up in my eyes but don't have much of a chance to cry because I quickly fall into a medicated sleep.
