Claire's P.O.V

I was rudely awakened by my phone going off. I looked at the screen and almost hung up.

"Myrnin what do you want. It's 3:30 in the morning."

Myrnin- "Claire get down to the lab right now. It is utterly important and in dire need of being looked at."

"Myrnin it's 3:30 in the morning I am not walking to the lab right now. Besides I can get attacked."

Myrnin-"Well…. I suppose you are correct. Fine, I shall open a portal to your bedroom."

"Ok, wait…. how do you know which room is mine?"

Myrnin-"The portal shall be there shortly."

Soon enough a portal opens in my room. As soon as the portal closes behind me I am swallowed up in darkness. I am walking blindly throughout the lab when I suddenly trip over something.

Myrnin-"Claire are you alright?"

"No, I…I think my arm is broken"

Myrnin-"Should I take you to the hospital?"

"No, it's ok. You can just leave me here, wasting away in pain."

Myrnin-"Young lady, I do not like that tone in your voice."

"I'm sorry; can you please take me to the hospital now?"
