'It's... so cold,' she thought sluggishly, 'cold... and dark... Where am I? I know... I can't be dead so...what's going on?'
Angel was unaware of what was happening. Her body felt heavy and she felt as though every thing was muffled.
'What is that... it sounds like a monitor... a heart monitor? But why... would I be hooked up to a heart monitor?'
She started hearing other noises and sounds as well. It sounded as though people were whispering. She hoped it wasn't about her. She felt like moving but her limbs felt unnatural. That's when she decide to open her eyes. Angel regretted the decision almost immediately when she was blinded by the lights. When she managed to get her eyes to adjust to the room she gazed around the room taking everything in. A nurse walked by her rooms door at that moment and she decided to get her attention and ask where she was.
"E-Excuse me? u-um nurse?" Angel slowly sat up, "Could you tell me... where I am?" She asked in a quiet voice. The nurse stopped and looked at the bed where she was sitting.
"Well, you are in the hospital of course," she stated plainly. She was holding a chart and wouldn't look at Angel.
"Please, can you tell me how I got here also," Angel whispered. She didn't remember too much of what had happened after jumping off the waterfall. Just that there was a flash and landing in the filed she had seen.
"Well, don't you remember?" She asked glancing up at me surprised. Angel didn't know how she got there so shook her head no to the nurse's question. The nurse put down the chart and came in the room sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"Well, the Jonin Hatake Kakashie carried you here. He was the one too find you. You had passed out on the ground at the training field," she stated looking at Angel with a look on her face that said she was curious about something. She didn't ask her anything though. At least not out right.
"Okay, thank you, for telling me." Angel nodded lancing down at the sheets covering her legs. She was curious as to what the look on the nurses face was.
"Now I'm going to go get the doctor, okay sweetie," she said patting her on the leg walking out of the room.
'Sweetie,' she thought ,'no one's ever called me that before. Or at least, I don't think anyone has ever called me that before.' Angel was having trouble remembering a couple of things, but then again she also didn't really trust these people. She had slowly devised a plan after a few minutes of thinking, but right then the doctor walked in holding her chart. She hadn't even seen the nurse take it with her.
"Hello there, how are you feeling today," he asked while looking at the chart in his hands. His name tag was flipped over so Angel didn't know his name.
"I'm sore and my body feels heavy, but other than that I feel completely fine," she whispered slowly to him. Angel had to convince her body that what she was going to be doing and saying was the truth. Angel had never really lied before, but for this to work she was going to have to do it. She was telling herself to stay calm and take even breaths.
"Okay, I'm going to be doing some basic tests," He said setting the chart down and picking up a pen ,"now please look at the tip of the pen and follow it," he told her. He moved the pen slowly outward from the front of my face, then moved it upwards. " Please try not to move your head," He then moved it to the right, then the left. Down, and back to the tip of my nose. He turned and wrote something down on the chart. He spoke to the nurse briefly, and she left.
"Okay next we're doing a sound test," he said and turned back toward Angel.
He put something on her right ear and told her that if she heard a sound that she was supposed to raise her hand. After that he wrote some more stuff down. Then he did her left ear. It didn't take as long as the first time though.
"Well," he spoke,"it seems that you are half deaf in your left ear. It might be temporary but I want you to come in next month, to have your ear checked again. Okay?" He was writing more stuff on the chart.
"Okay, does this mean that there's no more tests that I need to take?" Angel asked him quietly. She was afraid of looking him in the eye incase she gave herself away.
"Yes," he said, turning and walking out of the room, looking down at the clip board.
She had been sitting there for maybe five minutes when she decided to go look out the window. Angel had had enough of looking at the walls and floor. She moved her feet slowly off the side of her bed. She stood slowly getting her bearings before moving to the windows. She threw open the windows to get rid of the, admittedly very strong, smell of bleach. She had been standing there for twenty minutes, more when the nurse and another man walked into the room.
