DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Night World but I do own the characters Demetri and Maddy and a few others that aren't mentioned in the Night World Series. So please enjoy the chapter!!!

I woke up to the sound of beating, but then I realized it was the sound of my own heart pounding in my ears. As I carefully opened my eyes I saw that I was in a white room with cords attached all over my body. I could hear conversation from the other side of the room and a very frustrated Demetri doing most of the talking.

"What do you mean, what exactly does she have?"

"I do not know, we have to run more tests but I'm pretty sure that it's her appendix that needs to be removed. She will have to stay here overnight for more evaluation and then I can diagnose her appropriately." Said the doctor in a calming way to Demetri.

As if Demetri had known that I heard him he was over at my side in an instant which still by the way hurt very much.

"Oh Maddy I didn't know what to think I thought you were gone but you're okay now angel I'm here there's nothing to be scared of."

I tried to talk but my mouth wasn't moving accordingly. I then realized I was totally immobile I couldn't move my hands or legs.

I screamed very loud in my head hoping someone could hear me, HELP!!! I can't move I can't move! As my thought had just finished Demetri ran over to the nurse's station and called for help. When they came back I heard them all start to scream.

"Her BP is dropping we need to get her to emergency surgery, or she could experience cardiac arrest!" I heard one of the nurses explain to my guardian.

At that I was being whisked away while I barely realized that there were at least ten doctors around me telling me to breath and count to seven in my head. I remember the feeling, I was starting to recall something, something so dug under memories in my head that I never knew I had. I know I was scared in that moment but I felt comforted by the big chocolate brown eyes that were so familiar; they took up all of my vision and I knew in that moment that they weren't going to let me get away.

"He isn't going to let me get away." I whispered. Then everything fated to black and the memory started to replay itself in my head.
