My name is Eliot Marie Nicholls. I walk these halls for the first time like i've done it a hundred times. I wear a smile on my face greater than one i've worn before. I look in the waiting area to see tear-filled eyes, open wounds pouring blood from them and worried relatives. The rest of the floor crowded busily with nurses, doctors and porters. You can see the sweat dripping from there forheads with all their hard work and the stress there under. I've never felt like i belonged before, i always felt like an outside, a shark in the ocean, until now that was. I can feel it in my bones and in my heart, Im going to like here! Correction, Love it here.

"Miss, can i help you?" Noel call's over to the dark haired, slim figured woman gazing around, grinning to herself.

"Ehm sure, im Eliot...im the new F2?" she smiled softly, pulling off her scarf, watching Noel mumbling and fidling around with paper work until he found her new badge and locker key then handed it to her.

"You should go report to , he should be in his office!" Noel replied and got back to his work.

"ehh thank you ...Noel" she said looking down at his name badge before walking off, threw the double doors and along side the nurses station.

Looking over the other side of the room she spied a femilure person and with that her smile dropped and she hurried on ahead to the staff room and got changed into her scrubs. She'd taken her Blue coloured stethescope from inside her locker. She walked upstairs to the cinical leads office and nocked, she waited for several moments before actually looking in the window to discover whom she was looking for wasn't actually there! She sighed turning around. And as she done so,she turned right into a tall male wearing the same scrubs as herself.

"oh, im..im so sorry!" she shook her head gently applogising.

"No worries, You looking for Nick?"

Eliot glanced into the window again then back at the stranger. "he's clinical lead right? then yes..im Ellie, im the new F2 in the ED, suppost to start..now" she glanced at her watch on her scrubs then smiled holding her hand to him to shake.

he looked down at her hand hestantly before shaking it.
"Im Tom, Im a consultant in the ED...You'll find Nick down in Resus."

"Resus right!...ehh"

"downstairs, threw cubicals on the left past the nurses station..Don't worry you'll get used to it, I just started here last week" he smiled gently.

"right, thank you!" she smiled walking past him "eh nice to meet you... Tom" she said looking back as did tom then they went there seperate ways. Eliot went down the stairs holding either ends of her stethescope together as it was sat around her neck neatly. She gazed down, dangling her other arm by her side as she walked down to Resus. She paused before going in, Seeing Mr. Jordan stood oposite a different male doctor and beside Another doctor, Slender body but with different shades of blonde hair tied up in a bun, She was very simillar to Eliot, but of course the woman, Sam, was Eliots older sister, so it was no suprise!

Eliot took a deep breath before going in and walking over. "ahh , so nice of you to join us with you're presence" Nick Jordon spoke aseveryone looked up. Dylan just looked from Eliot straight to sam, able to see the frustration and desperation on sam's face, Like she'd seen a ghost. Eliot gave a smile to them all as she walked over and upto Dylan's side. "Sorry, i thought you'd be in your office" Eliot spoke confidently trying to focus on and the patient but looked over to sam "hi sammy" She said softer, feeling like a dissapointment to her sister.

"what does this look like to you?" Mr. Jordan asked

both Sam and Eliot spoke at the same time then glanced at each other.

"Thank you, but How would you treat this, Little Nicholls!?"

"eh, X-rays and a Chest drain." she said confident and firm

"Okay great. You're lead then ..." he said, but Sam went to jump in there assuming that he meant her because she was more qualified than Eliot.

"I mean't the other, Dr. Nicholls!" Nick pointed out as he stood back and took off his gloves.

"What? me!?" she looked at him with a worried and wide eyed expression.

"Yes! You!" Nick said

"Im...im just a juniour doctor!"

"Correct me if im wrong, but haven't you just completed 5 years of studying medicine, Completed you're F1 year with flying colours and already done most of your F2 year at you're previous Hospital before you dropped out of the program! which sort of tells me you have already inserted a basic Chest drain?"

"You dropped out?" Sam interjected, Eliot just looked at her then back at Nick.

"yes, of course i've done this before! I'm just a little out of practice!"

"Well come on then! get over here!" Nick said stepping away from the patient. Eliot sanatised her hands then put on her gloves and her protective gown before standing beside sam where Nick had been stood.

"Support her! Teach her! this is a teaching hospital!" Nick said talking to Dylan and Sam.

Eliot lifted her scalpul made an incision. She was a little startled by the amount of blood. "I...i...i can't do this! you, you should do it!"

Dylan looked at Sam "Sam" he said firm and soft which made sam finally put her brain back onto the job. "Ellie, you can do this! you know what comes next. Just breath deeply and think about it!". Eliot took a small deep breath looking at Sam "protractor" She lifted the protractor and opened the insiscion wide enough to take the clamp that was holding the tube and inserted it perfectly, she took off the cap allowing the blood in her lungs to eject into a disposable waste dish.

"Good! now you's can take it from here, right?" Nick said putting his watch back on his wrist before leaving.

Eliot took off her protective wear and followed Nick out into the corridor.

"i'll be back" sam said to Dylan "Sam!?" he sighed as she ran off behind Eliot.

"Ellie..." she said both coming to a hault in the corridor.

Eliot turned around "Sam..." she said unsure what to say to her.

Sam had so many questions but trying to ram them all in at once would be no good to anyone. She fidgetd with her fingers nervously looking down then back to Eliot. "So, your a Doctor now?"

"Yeah, i..i guess i am" she said, No expression on Eliots face to be seen!

The moments of deafening silence that followed adgetated Sam. "That it?...aren't you going to, i duno, tell me where you've been for the past 9 'n' half years? How you've been? why you left?" she sighed almost laughing as she shook her head."I guess you didn't really care about our family at all then."

"what family sam!..our family fell apart a long time ago! Dad walked out on us the same day he walked out on mum! And she was too busy drinking herself to oblivium every day to notice the damage she was doing to her children in the process!" Ellie said angrily

They hadn't notice that Dylan had heard everything Eliot had just said aloud, he was standing cross-armed infront of the Resus doors that were swinging back and forth to a hault.

Ellie saw Dylan over Sam's shoulder. "Go back to your husband Sam!..He's your family!" she said bitting her bottom lip and walked away unaware that Sam and Dylan had recently divorced after a long seperation.

Sam sighed, walked back over to dylan and leaned against the wall. "You okay sam?" Dylan asked knowing it was a touchy issue. Dylan didn't really know Eliot all too well. He knew her for about a year when she was 15 years old. Him and sam had just met at a university open day for medicine and science programs. Sam and Dylan spent more time together than Sam did at home, this made Eliot jelous, because it had always just been thy three Nicholls sisters against the world, Samantha,Renai and Eliot. "No...yeah..i'll be fine dylan." she said stubbornly then looked at dylan and let go of her frustration and walked off.
